Abstract: A cleansing composition including a sarcosine based surfactant is disclosed. Desirably, the cleansing composition contains a sarcosinate surfactant. Additional cleansing surfactants that are nonionic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, or combinations thereof, may also be incorporated into the cleansing composition. The cleansing composition may be used in combination with a product, such as a personal care product, to improve aesthetic properties of that product such as glide across the skin. As such, the cleansing product has a coefficient of friction of less than about 0.40. More particularly, cleansing compositions may be incorporated into or onto a substrate, such as a wipe substrate, an absorbent substrate, a fabric or cloth substrate, or a tissue substrate, among others.
