Facial cleansers

As of 1991 in the United States, OTC antiacne preparations may contain only a few active dmgs, for example, sulfur [7704-34-9] resorcinol acetate [102-29-4], resorcinol [108-46-3], salicylic acid [69-72-7], and some combinations (52). OTC anti-acne constituents maybe included in a variety of conventional cosmetic preparations, which then become OTC dmgs. These include lotions, creams, solutions, facial makeups, facial cleansers (including abrasive cleansers), and astringents. Products must contain the specified dmgs at the designated concentrations. Compositions of antiacne products have beenpubhshed (53). 

Transparent dentifrices can be prepared from certain xerogel siUcas through use of high levels of polyhydric alcohols. Clarity depends on matching the refractive indexes of the siUca and the Hquid base. Compositions for Hquid facial cleansers (68), shampoos (69), conditioning shampoos (70), dandmff shampoos (71), surfactant bars (72), toothpastes (73), and mouthwashes (74) have been pubUshed. 

Amphoteric surfactants have a variety of roles in industry today. They continue to be among the mildest surfactants available for the formulation of personal care products and are incorporated into products that demand the least irritation potential such as facial cleansers, feminine hygiene washes, no rinse cleansers such as baby wipes, geriatric products and so...

These are mainly facial-cleansing products. Use of facial-cleansing products is not a new phenomenon, having been used by women for centuries. It was very common in Indian culture to apply an aqueous paste of turmeric and mustard seed powder to the face and body of brides before marriage to make the skin soft and clean. There are different herbal and natural paste formulations from Ayurvedic and Unani medicines, which are used to improve the facial or body skin texture. Before the development of synthetic surfactants, soap was the main product used as facial cleanser. Owing to superior mildness, products based on synthetic surfactants are preferred over soap. 

Mildness and moisturization of facial cleansers are assessed in the same way as bar and liquid cleansers, by controlled-application wash testing. The maximization allergy testing (patch) method is another very common test used for relative mildness studies of cleansing creams and lotions. 

Function in Formula Controlled delivery of silicones, esters, mineral oils, solvents, waxes, glycerols, glycols, water, perfumes to the skin. Allows formulator to combine incompatible materials in same formula. Reduces comedone formation. Absorbs excess oil and sebum from the skin. Used in pigmented makeup, sun care products, skin creams, and lotions, antiperspirants and deodorants, body powders, perfumes, pressed powders, facial cleansers Solubility Characteristics Insoluble, cross-linked polymer... 

Takehara et al. also investigated the physicochemical properties of acylamino acid and found them to have superior surface activities at the weakly acidic pH around 5-6, similar to skin pH, even its anionic character [33,34]. Further, they developed various application formulas, such as solid cleansers, shampoo, and creamy or paste-type facial cleansers for acylglutamate [35]. These various research efforts led to the commercialization of acylglutamate in 1972 less than a decade later, a new market was established in Japan for mild cleansers [36]. This is the first commercial application of acylamino acid to have a significant impact on the personal care industry. Since then, many amino acid derivatives, such as acylsarcosinate and acylmethytaurate, have been utilized for personal care products. The applications of acylglutamate have been further extended to almost all types of personal care applications due to the mildness features that the market demands. 

Several years later, as a line extension, paste-type or cream-type facial cleansers were launched with the same idea, which helped expand the mild-cleanser market in Japan. At the same time there were epidemic problems of hyperpigmentation by some cosmetic products in Japan. Nakayama et al. [8,9] proposed an allergen-controlled system (ACS) to treat such patients, and... 

In the United States, Germain Monteil first applied acylglutamate to facial cleansers in the mid-1980s, but the market was not yet ready to acknowledge such mild products at that time. Recently, a major launch has been achieved by Bath Body Works for their bath product with acylglutamate in the formula. 

Recently, further developments have enabled better choices for formulators in selecting amino acid-related surfactants. Acylglycinate and acylalaninate make up the first class of this new anionic surfactant both give a creamy and resiliant foam as a primary surfactant and even as cosurfactant with other traditional anionics. They exhibit synergistic effects with soap for lathering volume and retention. After the use of acylglycinate and acylalaninate the skin feels clean and fresh without the tautness that soap produces. Various types of formulations, i.e., shampoo, facial cleanser, and body wash, can be prepared with the appropriate selection and combination of amino acid residue, fatty acid residue, and counterion [22]. 

Amide of choice in ethoxy sulfate systems. Yields high, stable viscosities at low concentrations. Excellent flash foaming and foam stability. Used extensively for gelled shampoos, bath gels, liquid soaps and facial cleansers. 

Soya derived amide exhibiting foam and skin feel properties analogous to soap. Good viscosity building and emulsification properties. Ideal choice for shower and facial cleansers, liquid soaps and bath gels. 

Versatile, cost-effective surfactant for use in personal cleansing products. Superior flash foam and lather characteristics. Good skin compatibility. Uses include liquid, lotion and pearl shampoos, shower and bath gels bubble baths and facial cleansers. 

Excellent choice for mild, low-irritation applications, such as shampoos, facial cleansers and bath products. Builds viscosity and boosts foam over a broad pH range. 

High-purity, low-color surfactant exhibiting exceptional foam and viscosity building characteristics. Its mildness suggests uses in medicated shampoos and conditioners, facial cleansers, bubble baths and bath gels. 

SEM/EDS analyses of all particles <1 mm differentiated microplastics, including multi-colored plastic spheres, from other materials such as coal ash. Based on dense urban populations adjacent to the lakes that employ combined sewage overflow, and the convergence of lake currents near our sample sites, we believe the microplastic spheres may be microbeads used in consumer product applications, such as those used in facial cleansers. 

The first observations to suggest that some quaternary ammonium compounds, such as benzalkonium chloride, stearalkonium chloride, and cetylpyridine chloride, have antimicrobial activity were made in as early as 1916, but their full potential was first realized in the 1930s [1, 2 J. Since then their uses have steadily increased and include many industrial purposes, water treatment, and antifungal treatment in horticulture, as well as inclusion in pharmaceutical and everyday consumer products. For example, benzalkonium chloride, the most commonly used, is found in products such as eye drops, artificial tears, decongestion nose drops, facial moistures, facial cleansers, acne treatments, sun protection creams and lotions, body lotions, moisturizers, pain relievers, and hand sanitizers [3 ]. Very often good reasons for their use are lacking and claims are limited to assertions that they are bug-killers .
