NOVEL METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE FOAMING PROPERTIES OF CLEANSING AND/OR FOAMING FORMULATIONS FOR TOPICAL USE

摘要

Methods for improving the foaming properties of cleansing and foaming formulations for topical use are presented. The methods comprise including in the formulation an effective amount of a polyol glycoside or a mixture of polyol glycosides of formula (I) R₁—O-(G)_x-H, in which x is a decimal number between 1 and 5, G is a reducing sugar and R₁ is a radical of formula (A) —CH₂—(CHOH)_n—CH₂—OH, in which n is an integer equal to 2, 3 or 4, or R₁ is a radical of the formula (B) —(CH₂—CHOH—CH₂—O)_m—H, in which m is an integer equal to 1, 2 or 3. Compositions containing compounds of formula (I) and methods of preparing the compositions are also presented. The methods and compositions can be applied to cosmetics and dermapharmaceuticals.
