Abstract

A facial skin cleanser has both moisturizing and cleansing capability provided by a surfactant system which is a mixture of cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, ethoxylated cetyl alcohol, ethoxylated stearyl alcohol and sodium lauryl sulfate and an emollient system composed of a mixture of mineral oil and a mixed acid ester of a higher fatty alcohol esterified with a mixture of caprylic acid and capric acid. These components are dissolved in an aqueous solvent system of water and a minor amount of propylene glycol. The cleanser formulation is thickened with minor amounts of thickening agents exemplified by xanthan gum and carboxypolymethylene. The formulation has a balanced pH and in the range of from about 5.5 to about 7.5. This composition has the capability of softening and removing sebum plaque and exhibits a comedolytic activity while at the same time providing a moisturizing effect to the skin.
