Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a cleansing-agent which is particularly useful for the removal from the skin or other surfaces of substances, such as dithranol, which form water-soluble complexes with boric acid. The cleansing-agent comprises by weight (a) boric acid, 1-3%; (b) anionic detergent, 0.5-20%; (c) fatty alcohol, 5-30%; and (d) fatty vehicle comprising at least ethoxylated glycerides of saturated fatty acids, 30-75%, and may also include as a fatty vehicle a glyceride of unsaturated and/or saturated fatty acid.
