Description: CLEANSING COMPOSITIONS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to cleansing compositions. In particular it relates to mild personal cleansing compositions which display improved rinse feel in combination with good skin feel attributes, and foaming properties which are suitable for simultaneously cleansing and conditioning the skin and/or the hair and which may be used, for example, in the form of foam bath preparations, shower products, skin cleansers, hand, face and body cleansers, shampoos, etc. Background Of The Invention Mild cosmetic compositions must satisfy a number of criteria including cleansing power, foaming properties and mildness/low irritancy/good feel with respect to the skin, hair and the ocular mucosae. Skin is made up of several layers of cells which coat and protect the underlying tissue. The keratin and collagen fibrous proteins that form the skeleton of its structure. The outermost of these layers is referred to as the stratum corneum. Hair similarly has a protective outer coating enclosing the hair fibre which is called the cuticle. Anionic surfactants can penetrate the stratum corneum membrane and the cuticle and, by delipidization destroy membrane integrity and loss of barrier and water retention functions. This interference with skin and hair protective membranes can lead to a rough skin feel and eye irritation and may eventually permit the surfactant to trigger immune response creating irritation. Ideal cosmetic cleansers should cleanse the skin or hair gently, without defatting and/or drying the hair and skin and without irritating the ocular mucosae or leaving skin taut after frequent use. Most lathering soaps, shower and bath products, shampoos and bars fail in this respect. Certain synthetic surfactants are known to be mild. However, a major drawback of some mild synthetic surfactant systems when formulated for shampooing or personal cleansing is that they have what can be described as a "slippy" or "non-draggy" rinse feel which is not liked by some consumers. The use of certain surfactants such as potassium laurate, on the other hand, can yield a "draggy" rinse feel but at the expense of clinical skin mildness. These two facts make the selection of suitable surfactants in the rinse feel and mildness benefit formulation process a delicate balancing act. Thus a need exists for personal cleansing compositions which deliver a "draggy" rinse feel while at the same time having excellent skin mildness, in addition to excellent product characteristics such as lather, cleansing, stability, thickening, rheology and in-use skin feel attributes. Certain polyalphaolefin oils are known for use in personal cleansing compositions for the skin and hair. References to the use of such oils in personal cleansing formulations are to be found in WO 97/09031 , US-A- 5441730, WO 94/27574, EP-A-0692244, WO 96/32092 and WO96/06596. Hydrophobically modified silicones oils are also known for use in personal cleansing compositions and are disclosed for example in JP 05-310540. Surprisingly, it has now been found that personal cleansing compositions having a "draggy" rinse feel at the same time as having excellent mildness characteristics are provided by the combination of certain water-insoluble oils, such as certain polyalphaolefin oils, in combination with a mild, water-soluble surfactant system. Whilst not wishing to be bound by theory, the "draggy" rinse feel is considered to be associated with an increase in wet skin friction. An important mechanism for action of such oils is considered to be their ability to deposit and change the surface energy of the skin, i.e. making the skin surface more hydrophobic. During rinsing, the water film is considered to be the lubricant for the skin, and as surface hydrophobicity increases so the water film is destabilised and the surface de-wetted. As a result the water film is at first thinned and then displaced, allowing some direct contact between the surfaces. Both changes increase friction and produce "draggy rinsing". Summary Of The Invention According to the present invention there is provided a rinse-off liquid personal cleansing composition comprising water, from about 1% to about 60% by weight of a water-soluble surfactant and a water-insoluble oil. The compositions of the present invention provide an improvement in rinse feel while at the same time being exceptionally mild to the skin. All concentrations and ratios herein are by weight of the cleansing composition, unless otherwise specified. Surfactant chain lengths are also on a weight average chain length basis, unless otherwise specified. Detailed Description of the Invention The liquid cleansing compositions herein comprise water, surfactant and a certain water-insoluble oil which will be described below. As used herein the term "rinse feel" means the feeling of the skin during the process of rinsing lather from the skin after cleansing with a cleansing composition. The type of rinse feel which is provided by the compositions of the present invention can be described by terms such as a "draggy" rinse feel, a "soap-like" rinse feel and a "non-slippery" or "non-slimy" rinse feel. Such a "draggy", "soap-like", "non-slippery" or "non-slimy" rinse feel can be detected by an increase in friction between the hand and skin during the process of rinsing lather from the skin.

Preferably the branched alk(en)yl materials of type have a viscosity in the range of from about 500cst to about 50,000cst, preferably from about lOOOcst to about 10,000cst measured at 40°C using the ASTM method D-445 for measuring viscosity. Suitable alk(en)yl materials of type (b) for use herein are polymers of butene, isoprene, terpene, styrene or isobutene, preferably butene or isobutene. Examples of alk(en)yl oils of type (b) include polybutene oils such as those commercially available from Amoco under the tradename Indopol 40 and Indopol 100 and polyisobutene oils such as those commercially available from Presperse Inc. under the tradename Permethyl 104A and Parapol 950 from Exxon Chemicals Co.. Also suitable for use herein are hydrophobically modified silicones having the following formula: hydrophobically modified silicones having the following formula: wherein R is C1-C4 alkyl or phenyl, R' is C1-C20 alkyl or phenyl, z is 5 to 21, and x has a number average value in the range of from about 20 to 400, y has a number average value in the range of from about 0 to about 10 and x + y lies in the range of 30 to 400. Preferred materials have values for x of from 40 to 200, preferably 60 to 100, values for y of from 0 to 5, preferably 0, and values for the sum of x and y of from 60 to 100. The alkylene chain z may be linear or branched. In addition, the silicone backbone may contain a small degree of branching to yield a resin (eg. MDQ or MDT resins). Examples of such oils include those hydrophobically modified silicones available from GE Silicones under the tradename SF1632 (C16-C18 alkyl methicone), and octyl and decyl methicone. In preferred embodiments the number average particle diameter for the additional water-insoluble oil used herein lies in the range of from about 1 micron to about 500 microns, preferably from about 5 to about 200 microns, more preferably from about 5 to 50 microns, especially from about 5 to about 20 microns. Another water-insoluble, skin/hair care ingredient suitable for use in the foaming compositions herein is a liquid, polyol carboxylic acid ester. The polyol ester preferred for use herein is a nonocclusive liquid or liquifiable polyol carboxylic acid ester. These polyol esters are derived from a polyol radical or moiety and one or more carboxylic acid radicals or moieties. In other words, these esters contain a moiety derived from a polyol and one or more moieties derived from a carboxylic acid. These carboxylic acid esters can also be derived from a carboxylic acid. These carboxylic acid esters can also be described as liquid polyol fatty acid esters, because the terms carboxylic acid and fatty acid are often used interchangeably by those skilled in the art. The preferred liquid polyol polyesters employed in this invention comprise certain polyols, especially sugars or sugar alcohols, esterified with at least four fatty acid groups. Accordingly, the polyol starting material must have at least four esterifiable hydroxyl groups. Examples of preferred polyols are sugars, including monosaccharaides and disaccharides, and sugar alcohols. Examples of monosaccharides containing four hydroxyl groups are xylose and arabinose and the sugar alcohol derived from xylose, which has five hydroxyl groups, i.e., xylitol. The monosaccharide, erythrose, is not suitable in the practice of this invention since it only contains three hydroxyl groups, but the sugar alcohol derived from erythrose, i.e., erythritol, contains four hydroxyl groups and accordingly can be used. Suitable five hydroxyl group-containing monosaccharides are galactose, fructose, and sorbose. Sugar alcohols containing six -OH groups derived from the hydrolysis products of sucrose, as well as glucose and sorbose, e.g., sorbitol, are also suitable. Examples of disaccharide polyols which can be used include maltose, lactose, and sucrose, all of which contain eight hydroxyl groups. Preferred polyols for preparing the polyesters for use in the present invention are selected from the group consisting of erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, glucose, and sucrose. Sucrose is especially preferred. The polyol starting material having at least four hydroxyl groups is esterified on at least four of the -OH groups with a fatty acid containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms. Examples of such fatty acids include caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic, myristoleic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, ricinoleic, linoleic, linolenic, eleostearic, arachidic, arachidonic, behenic, and erucic acid. The fatty acids can be derived from naturally occurring or synthetic fatty acids; they can be saturated or unsaturated, including positional and geometrical isomers. However, in order to provide liquid polyesters preferred for use herein, at least about 50%) by weight of the fatty acid incorporated into the polyester molecule should be unsaturated. Oleic and linoleic acids, and mixtures thereof, are especially preferred. The polyol fatty acid polyesters useful in this invention should contain at least four fatty acid ester groups. It is not necessary that all of the hydroxyl groups of the polyol be esterified with fatty acid, but it is preferable that the polyester contain no more than two unesterified hydroxyl groups. Most preferably, substantially all of the hydroxyl groups of the polyol are esterified with fatty acid, i.e., the polyol moiety is substantially completely esterified. The fatty acids esterified to the polyol molecule can be the same or mixed, but as noted above, a substantial amount of the unsaturated acid ester groups must be present to provide liquidity. To illustrate the above points, a sucrose fatty triester would not be suitable for use herein because it does not contain the required four fatty acid ester groups. A sucrose tetra-fatty acid ester would be suitable, but is not preferred because it has more than two unesterified hydroxyl groups. A sucrose hexa-fatty acid ester would be preferred because it has no more than two unesterified hydroxyl groups. Highly preferred compounds in which all the hydroxyl groups are esterified with fatty acids include the liquid sucrose octa-substituted fatty acid esters. The following are non-limiting examples of specific polyol fatty acid polyesters containing at least four fatty acid ester groups suitable for use in the present invention: glucose tetraoleate, the glucose tetraesters of soybean oil fatty acids (unsaturated), the mannose tetraesters of mixed soybean oil fatty acids, the galactose tetraesters of oleic acid, the arabinose tetraesters of linoleic acid, xylose tetralinoleate, galactose pentaoleate, sorbitol tetraoleate, the sorbitol hexaesters of unsaturated soybean oil fatty acids, xylitol pentaoleate, sucrose tetraoleate, sucrose pentaoletate, sucrose hexaoleate, sucrose hepatoleate, sucrose octaoleate, and mixtures thereof. As noted above, highly preferred polyol fatty acid esters are those wherein the fatty acids contain from about 14 to about 18 carbon atoms. The preferred liquid polyol polyesters preferred for use herein have complete melting points below about 30°C, preferably below about 27.5°C, more preferably below about 25°C. Complete melting points reported herein are measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The polyol fatty acid polyesters suitable for use herein can be prepared by a variety of methods well known to those skilled in the art. These methods include: transesterification of the polyol with methyl, ethyl or glycerol fatty acid esters using a variety of catalysts; acylation of the polyol with a fatty acid chloride; acylation of the polyol with a fatty acid anhydride; and acylation of the polyol with a fatty acid, per se.
