Abstract: An antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition, including a carrier, an antiperspirant and/or deodorant active, one or two surfactants, and a preservative. The composition may optionally include a fragrance and/or an emollient, and may have a pearlescent appearance.

Abstract: A liquid cleansing composition comprising water in a sufficient amount to form a fluid composition; fatty acid soap; a divalent metal salt in an amount to provide a viscosity to entrain gas; and entrained gas to provide a specific gravity of not greater than 1.05 g/cm3. Optionally, a surfactant can also be included. The cleansing composition has a whipped texture. Also, a method of making the liquid cleansing composition.

Abstract: An aqueous cleansing composition comprising a cationic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, and a thickener comprising an alkoxylated methyl glucose ether, wherein a weight ratio of cationic surfactant to nonionic surfactant is greater than 0.9:1. The combination of the cationionic:nonionic surfactant ratio with the alkoxylated methyl glucose ether thickener provides the composition with cold weather stability. Cold weather stability is observed when the composition remains transparent after cold storage.
