Aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic body-cleansing compositions comprising oligoesters

Abstract

Body-cleansing compositions are claimed which comprise oligoesters obtained by condensation of one or more dicarboxylic acids or esters thereof and one or more polyhydric alcohols.

1 . An aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic body-cleansing composition, with the exception of hair-treatment compositions, comprising oligoesters obtained by condensation of one or more dicarboxylic acids or esters thereof and one or more polyhydric alcohols.  
     
     
         2 . The composition as claimed in  claim 1 , which comprises oligoesters obtained by polycondensation of one or more dicarboxylic acids or esters thereof and ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol, and optionally polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, sulfoisophthalic acid, sulfobenzoic acid, isethionic acid, C 1 -C 4 -alcohols, oxalkylated C 1 -C 24 -alcohols, oxalkylated C 6 -C 18 -alkylphenols or oxalkylated C 8 -C 24 -alkylamines.  
     
     
         3 . The emulsion as claimed in  claim 1 , which comprises oligoesters obtained by polycondensation of 
 a) 40 to 52 mol %, preferably 45 to 50 mol %, of one or more aromatic dicarboxylic acids or esters thereof,    b) 10 to 60 mol %, preferably 20 to 35 mol %, of ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol,    c) 0 to 20 mol %, preferably 10 to 15 mol %, of polyethylene glycol,    d) 0 to 10 mol % of a water-soluble addition product of from 5 to 80 mol of an alkylene oxide with 1 mol of C 1 -C 24 -alcohols, C 6 -C 18 -alkylphenols or C 8 -C 24 -alkylamines and    e) 0 to 10 mol % of one or more polyols having 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups.    
     
     
         4 . The composition as claimed in  claim 1 , which comprises 0.1 to 5% by weight of oligoesters.
