NON-AEROSOL SHAVING GEL FREE OF THICKENING AND GELLING AGENTS

摘要

The patent describes a non-aerosol shaving composition in the form of a clear gel comprising water, an alkanolamine soap and a solubilising agent. The soap is completely dissolved in the water content of the gel, and the amount of soap and solubilising agent is sufficient to provide the soap in the hexagonal liquid crystal phase in the composition. Apparently, when the soap is in the hexagonal liquid crystal form, a stable gel is formed without the need for added thickening or gelling agents.
