Patent ID: 7326672

Claim:
A personal wash composition comprising: (1) about 5 to 25% by wt. of a surfactant system selected from the group consisting of: (a) an anionic surfactant; (b) a mixture of anionic surfactants; or (c) a mixture of one or more anionic surfactants and an additional zwitterionic/amphoteric surfactant wherein the additional zwitterionic/amphoteric surfactant is present in an amount from 1 to 10% by weight; (2) about 0.1 to 15% by wt of a non-silicate layer compound wherein a net cationic charge is found on the basal layer or layers; (3) about 36.59 to 40% by wt. of an aqueous solvent which is water; and (4) 5 to 40% by wt. non-aqueous solvent selected from the group consisting of low MW fatty acids, glycols, polyols, and mixtures thereof; wherein said composition is a liquid composition and is substantially enzyme free, said composition enhances foam relative to compositions without non-silicate of (2), said compound of 2 is dispersed with components (1), (3) and/or (4) during preparation of said personal wash composition, and wherein said compound of 2 interacts with surfactant and lowers the viscosity of said composition.
