Patent ID: 8017566

Claim:
A liquid cleansing composition, comprising: a. about 5 to 30% by wt. of total synthetic anionic surfactant(s); b. about 0.5 to 5% by wt. of total hydrophobically modified acrylate copolymer(s); c. about 0.5 to 5% by wt. of total normal C8 to C16 alkyl carboxylic acid(s) wherein at least 90% by wt. of the total normal carboxylic acid(s) is C12 carboxylic acid; d. wherein the wt. % ratio range of the total hydrophobically modified acrylate copolymer(s) to the total normal akyl carboxylic acid(s) is about 0.1 to 3; e. wherein the composition has a pH range of about 5 to 7.8; f. wherein the composition contains less than 0.5% by wt. of total oil(s) and waxes selected from hydrocarbons, triglycerides and silicones with a number average particle size under 1000 microns; and g. wherein the Standard Delta zero shear viscosity ratio of liquid cleansing composition is more than 2 in the case of the hydrophobically modified acrylate copolymer(s) effect or more than 30 in the case of the total normal C8 to C16 alkyl carboxylic acid(s)effect.
