There is provided according to the present invention an aqueous gel composition, comprising a) an ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol which comprises a reaction product of an alcohol having 3 to 6 hydroxy groups with ethylene oxide; and b) a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of a polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene triblock surfactant having a molecular weight of from 4,000 to 16,000, and wherein the weight of the polyoxyethylene blocks is from 55% to 90% of the weight of the triblock surfactant; a crosslinked polyacrylic thickener; cellulose derivatives; hydrated silicas; and mixtures thereof. When the gelling agent is the triblock surfactants, the ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol comprises the reaction product of the polyhydric alcohol and up to 5 mole equivalents of ethylene oxide per mole equivalent of hydroxyl group in the alcohol.

É fornecido que concorda à invenção atual uma composição aqueous do gel, compreendendo a) um álcool polyhydric ethoxylated que compreenda um produto da reação de um álcool que tem 3 a 6 grupos hydroxy com óxido do etileno; e b) um agente gelling selecionado do grupo que consiste em um surfactant do triblock de polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene que tem um peso molecular de 4.000 a 16.000, e wherein o peso dos blocos do polyoxyethylene é 55% a 90% do peso do surfactant do triblock; um thickener polyacrylic crosslinked; derivatives da celulose; silicones hydrated; e misturas disso.
