Abstract: A personal cleansing composition comprising a piroctone compound and a cleansing surfactant comprising an amphoteric surfactant and an ethoxylated anionic surfactant in which the anionic surfactant has an average degree of ethoxylation of 2.5 or greater.

Abstract: A sulphate-free-surfactant cleansing composition comprising, in an aqueous continuous phase: a total amount of anionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant consisting of: (i) from 3 wt % to 13 wt %, by weight of the total composition at 100% activity, of an alpha olefin sulfonate anionic surfactant of general formula (I): R1—CH?CH—CH2—SO3-M+ (I) in which R1 is selected from linear or branched alkyl groups having from 11 to 13 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof; and M is a solubilizing cation; (ii) from 1 to 8 wt %, by weight of amphoteric surfactant, which is cocamidopropyl betaine; (iii) from 0.05 wt % to 0.5 wt % of a cationic polymer; (iv) from 0.3 to 2.8 wt % an inorganic electrolyte; and (v) water; in which the weight ratio of (i) to (ii) ranges from 2:1 to 1:4 and the pH of the composition is from 3 to 6.

Abstract: The invention provides a personal cleansing composition having an aqueous continuous phase including cleansing surfactant and a solubilised hydrocarbon oil having a kinematic viscosity of 1 to 35 cSt at 40° C. and a specific gravity of 0.76 to 0.87 at 25° C.; in which the hydrocarbon oil is solubilised in wormlike micelles in the aqueous continuous phase by means of a linker molecule and an inorganic electrolyte; in which the linker molecule is selected from one or more compounds of formula: R(X)n, in which R is a C6 to C14 mono-, di- or trivalent saturated aliphatic or an aromatic hydrocarbyl group, n is 1 to 3 and each X is independently selected from —OH and —COOH; and in which the level of hydrocarbon oil in the composition ranges from 0.8 to 1.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
