Abstract: The invention relates to a micellar aqueous cleansing composition featuring a natural thickener comprising lauryl lactate and at least one or a combination of polyquaternium cationic polymers. This composition is formulated to exclude any added PEG-based ingredients, including PEG/PEO polymeric thickeners, as well as sulfate-based ingredients, such as sulfate-based surfactants. The exclusion of these ingredients is aimed at reducing potential irritants and synthetic compounds. The resulting formulation achieves a gel-like viscosity and maintains a transparent appearance, offering a gentle and effective cleansing solution with improved stability and skin compatibility.
