Abstract: A personal cleansing composition comprising: (a) from about 1% to about 30% by weight of a dispersed oil phase comprising at least one nonocclusive liquid polyol fatty acid polyester containing at least four fatty acid ester groups wherein the polyol moiety is selected from sugars and sugar alcohols containing from about 4 to about 8 hydroxyl groups, and wherein each carboxylic acid moiety has from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms and wherein the liquid polyol fatty acid polyester has a complete melting point of less than about 30.degree. C.; and (b) from about 5% to about 30% by weight of water-soluble surfactant selected from anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof. The products provide excellent in-use and efficacy benefits including excellent skin feel during and after use, good lather volume and stability characteristics, skin conditioning, mildness, stability, cleansing, good water-feel and appearance.

Abstract: A personal cleansing composition comprising: (a) from about 1% to about 30% by weight of a dispersed oil phase comprising a first oil component having an oil/surfactant solution interfacial tension (IFT) of greater than about 1.0 dynes/cm and a second oil component having an oil/surfactant solution interfacial tension (IFT) in the range of from about 0.1 to about 1.0 dynes/cm; and (b) from about 5% to about 30% by weight of water-soluble surfactant selected from anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof; and (c) water; and wherein the ratio of first to second dispersed oil component is in the range from about 20:1 to about 1:20. The cleansing products demonstrate excellent in-use efficacy benefits including excellent skin feel during and after use, good lather volume, stability and appearance characteristics, good skin conditioning, mildness, stability, cleansing, good water feel and appearance.
