Abstract:
An ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition comprising:(a) about 3 to about 30% by weight of a surfactant system including at least one surfactant selected from an anionic, amphoteric, cationic and nonionic surfactant and mixtures thereof, wherein at least one anionic surfactant must be present; (b) about 0.1% to about 15% by wt. of an ordered liquid crystalline phase inducing structurant; (c) about 0.1 to about 25% by weight of organogel particles of from about 0.05 to about 10 millimeters in diameter, the particle comprising a benefit agent that is a liquid at about 75Â° C. and a gelation agent that is a solid at about 25Â° C., the proportions of the gelation agent to benefit agent being between about 0.05% to about 70% by weight gelation agent to benefit agent, the solidification or gelation temperature of the mixture being at or above about 25Â° C.; and wherein said ordered liquid crystalline phase composition has a viscosity of about 40,000 to about 300,000 cps at 25 C.
