BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Field of the Invention 
       [0001]    The invention concerns a cleansing composition, in particular a make-up removing cosmetic composition of improved efficacy and rinse speed. In particular, it relates to a composition that removes makeup efficiently with excellent skin feel attributes. 
       Background of the Art 
       [0002]    An important segment of the cosmetics market are makeup removal products (“MURs”) which are utilized for removing make-up by consumers. Removal of pigments of eye shadow, mascara, blush, lipstick and face powder is a daily problem for many women. The problem has been addressed through formulations which may include materials operating by solvent action or by emulsification. However, such cleansers often have disadvantages that they are slow rinsing and/or have negative skin feel attributes and may tend to phase separate over time i.e. they are not stable. Specifically high oil containing MURs have high make up removability but their slow rinsing speed and residual feeling are not preferred by many consumers. It is known that high oil make up removers must include high levels of low HLB nonionic surfactants to stabilize the high level of oil ingredients (typically 45%-80 wt. %) in the formulation for efficient make up removability. However it is also well known that high levels of low HLB nonionic surfactants leads to slow rinsing speed and often has a deleterious residual feeling on the skin. 
         [0003]    U.S. Patent Publication No. 2005/0180942 published on Aug. 18, 2005 to Shimizu et al. describes a cleansing composition containing nonionic surfactants selected from various glycerol fatty acid esters in an oil base and having specific IOB values. The formulation is reported to resist phase separation. 
         [0004]    U.S. Patent Publication No. 2004/0136943 published on Jul. 15, 2004 to Tomokuni describes a cleansing composition comprising (A) an oil component, (B) a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant, (C) a lipophilic amphiphile, (D) a water soluble solvent and (E) water. The composition reportedly has an isotropic liquid phase exhibiting a bicontinuous structure. The composition is described as exhibiting excellent detergency for the removal of both oil stains and water soluble stains and has high rinsability. 
         [0005]    Various silicone oils have been used in the past to improve the sticky skin feeling from these products. Surprisingly the present inventive oil make up remover contains low levels of a high HLB nonionic surfactant and selected specific alkyl mono ester(s) and was seen to improve the rinsing speed and residual skin sensory feeling preferably without using silicone oils. Moreover it still was observed to stabilize high levels of hydrocarbon oil with excellent product transparency and stability. 
         [0006]    Preferably the inventive product is used with a countertop mechanical pump that may be situated in a stable position so that the hand or forearm can be used to depress the pump and dispense the product. This arrangement results in a convenient and hygienic cleansing process. 
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0007]    In one aspect of the invention is a cleansing composition including but not limited to:
       a. about 10 to 25 wt. % of nonionic surfactant(s) collectively having a weight average HLB greater than 10.8.   b. about 20 to 40 wt. % of linear and/or branched C5 to C 20 alkyl mono ester(s) where the molecular weight of the ester(s) is/are less than 320.   c. about 25 to 40 wt. % of hydrocarbon oil(s);   d. about 8 to 30 wt. % polyol(s); and   e. about 1 to 10 wt. % of water.       
 
       Definitions 
       [0013]    “Weight average HLB” is calculated referring to “The Atlas HLB Surfactant Selector”, 
         [0014]    Griffin, W. C. (1949) J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 1:311-26 
         [0000]      HLB average=Σ(Nonionic surfactant HLB×concentration)/total Nonionic surfactant concentration.
 
         [0015]    More specifically, as explained in Griffin, when two or more surfactants (emulsifiers) are combined (for our invention this relates specifically to combination of nonionic surfactants), the weight average HLB is the sum of the HLB value of each nonionic surfactant weighted by the concentration of each relative to overall concentration of nonionic surfactant. Thus, for example, if we were to blend three parts of a nonionic surfactant having HLB of 8 with one part of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 16, the weighted HLB average would be (¾) (8)+(¼) (16)=6+4=10. 
         [0016]    Transparent means a turbidity of 0.05 optical density (OD) or less at 25 C measured at 500 nm using a 1 cm glass cell and a U-2810 spectrophotometer (Hitachi) or equivalent measured against distilled or deionized water as reference. 
         [0017]    Stable means no phase separation after storage during 90 days at 45 C (in the dark). 
         [0018]    Rinsing speed means either slow, moderate or fast rinsing of the product off the skin with water as judged by an expert panel using the test procedure described below.

         [0066]    Based on the results reported in Tables 1 and 2, it is evident that clarity, stability and skin feel sensory results was generally better for the inventive samples when compared to the comparative samples. 
       Example 2 
       [0067]    Selected comparative and inventive compositions described in Tables 1 and 2 were tested by an expert test panel for perception of skin feel after rinsing according to the procedure described below and the results are shown in Table 3.

         [0078]    Measurement Method of Friction in the Present Invention
       1) A drop of the compound to be tested (0.1 mL) is applied on artificial leather*.   2) Measurement is started according to the following conditions.       
 
         [0081]    Measurement Conditions
       Apparatus: Friction Tester KES-SE (Kato Tech Co., Ltd.)   Temperature: 25+/−3° C.   Humidity: 65+/−3% RH (Relative humidity)   Load: 25 g   Detector: Silicone sensor   Artificial Leather: Tricot whose surface is treated with polyurethane and coated with collagen. Supplier: Idemitsu Technofine Co., Ltd. (Japan)/Ideatex Japan Co Ltd. This is available under the tradename Sapulale.
 
3. MIU is calculated via the graphical method illustrated in  FIG. 3 . The friction μ measured over a distance x, equals

         [0088]    The number of “MIU” is automatically provided by the KES-SE friction tester. The number of X is the actual distance of continuous measurement which affect to measurement accuracy. This equation exemplifies that the average of the friction coefficient equals MIU, derived from a continuous friction coefficient measurement. As known in the art, by dividing the integrated value by the monitoring width X, the mean coefficient of friction MIU is obtained. 
         [0089]    The foregoing description and examples illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention. In light thereof variations and modifications will be suggested to one skilled in the art, all of which are within the scope and spirit of this invention.
A cleansing composition is provided for removing waxy makeup, and for cleansing the skin with excellent rinse speed and after-feel. The inventive composition is also transparent and stable to phase separation and includes specific amounts of high average HLB nonionic surfactants, specific alkyl mono esters, hydrocarbon oils and polyol(s) and in a preferred embodiment contains very low levels of or no silicone oils.
