Abstract: A stable, post-foaming gel shower product comprising a soap-free, surfactant-based gel composition consisting essentially of a major amount of water, about 3-23% by weight of a water-soluble anionic alkali metal C.sub.10 -C.sub.16 alkyl ether sulfate surfactant, about 1-24% by weight of a water dispersible ethoxylated fatty alcohol or fatty ester, about 2-4% of isopropyl myristate, about 1-10% of a mono- or disaccharide and about 5-20% by weight of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon foaming agent having 4 to 5 carbon atoms as an integral part of the gel structure, the anionic surfactant and the ethoxylated fatty alcohol or ester being present in a weight ratio of 4:1 to about 1:4.
