Abstract:
A liquid personal cleansing composition comprising:(a) from about 1% to about 15% by weight of short chain alkyl sulphate surfactant having on average from 8 to about 10 carbon atoms on the alkyl chain and mixtures thereof;(b) from about 1% to about 15% by weight of C.sub.12 to C.sub.22 alkyl ethoxy sulphate surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 1 to about 6 wherein the alkyl ethoxy sulphate surfactant contains from about 15% to about 30% by weight of AE.sub.3 S, from about 10% to about 20% of AE.sub.4 S and from about 10% to about 20% of AE.sub.2 S;(c) from about 0.1% to about 10% of water-soluble auxiliary surfactant selected from anionic surfactants other than C.sub.8 to C.sub.10 alkyl sulphates and C.sub.12 to C.sub.22 alkyl ethoxy sulphates, nonionic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof;(d) from about 0.01% to about 5% of cationic conditioning polymer selected from the group consisting of cationic polysaccharides; cationic homopolymercan copolymers derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and mixtures thereof; cationic cellulose resins; cationic copolymers of dimethsldiallylammonium chloride, acrylamide and acrylic acid, cationic homopolymers of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride; cationic polyalkylene and ethoxypolyalkylene imines: and mixtures thereof; and(e) water,wherein the ratio of short chain alkyl suphate to alkyl ethoxy sulphate is in the range of from about 1:3 to about 3:1.
