Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present a novel technology for promoting foam in cleansing type consumer products. Specifically, the introduction of a new cellulose based polymeric surfactant which can be used to improve the properties of foaming products used in personal care. Such products include shampoo, bath and shower gels, facial cleansers and liquid hand-soap. Although many other uses are anticipated, this paper shall confine its discussion to personal care applications. In succession, the following aspects of this research will be discussed.
-
1.
The need which is being addressed
-
2.
Properties of the cellulosic polymer
-
3.
Design of a lather generator
-
4.
Lather enhancing shampoo studies
-
5.
