Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A shampoo composition or other mild washing product which contains (a) at least one amphoteric surfactant of formula (I) and (b) at least one amphoteric surfactant of formula (II) together with (c) at least one anionic surfactant; said composition containing 5-50% of one or more surfactants of formula (I), 1-50% of one or more surfactants of formula (II) and 1-50% of one or more anionic surfactants (by weight of the total composition); said formula (I) being: ##STR6## in which for formula (I) R is a C 8-20 hydrocarbyl group, optionally substituted by hydroxy; R 1 is H or C 1-6 alkyl; B is H, C 1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted by hydroxy or amino, or a group Q; Q is a group --R 3 COOM where R 3 is a C 1-6 alkylene group and M is --H or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or hydroxy ethyl-substituted ammonium ion; and x is 2 to 6; formula (II) being: ##STR7## in which for formula (II) R is a C 12-20 alkyl group; Q is --CH 2 COOM or --CH 2 CH 2 COOM; M is --H or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or hydroxy ethyl-substituted ammonium ion; and y is 2 or 3.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A shampoo composition or other mild washing product which contains (a) at least one amphoteric surfactant of formula (I) and (b) at least one amphoteric surfactant of formula (II) together with (c) at least one anionic surfactant; said composition containing 5-50% of one or more surfactants of formula (I), 1-50% of one or more surfactants of formula (II) and 1-50% of one or more anionic surfactants (by weight of the total composition); said formula (I) being: ##STR6## in which for formula (I) R is a C 8-20 hydrocarbyl group, optionally substituted by hydroxy; R 1 is H or C 1-6 alkyl; B is H, C 1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted by hydroxy or amino, or a group Q; Q is a group --R 3 COOM where R 3 is a C 1-6 alkylene group and M is --H or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or hydroxy ethyl-substituted ammonium ion; and x is 2 to 6; formula (II) being: ##STR7## in which for formula (II) R is a C 12-20 alkyl group; Q is --CH 2 COOM or --CH 2 CH 2 COOM; M is --H or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or hydroxy ethyl-substituted ammonium ion; and y is 2 or 3.
