Abstract:
1. A personal cleansing composition comprising, based upon the total weight of the composition: a) from about 1 percent to about 8 percent of an anionic surfactant; and b) from about 0.1 percent to about 3 percent of a hydrophobically modified, crosslinked, anionic acrylic copolymer derived from at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer; at least one hydrophobic monomer; a hydrophobic chain transfer agent comprising alkyl mercaptans, thioesters, amino acid-mercaptan-containing compounds or peptide fragments, or combinations thereof; a cross-linking agent; and, optionally, a steric stabilizer; wherein the amount of said unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer is from about 60% to about 98% by weight based upon the total weight of said unsaturated monomers and said hydrophobic monomer, wherein the weight ratio of component a) to component b) is about 1:1 to about 5:1, and wherein the composition is mild to the skin and/or eyes and comprises less than about 0.5 percent of non-ionic surfactants.
