The present invention relates to thickened personal care compositionsnwhich utilize a thickening amount of an acrylate-based polymeric rheologynmodifier prepared by polymerization of a C 1 -C 6 alkyl ester of acrylic acidnand/or a C 1 -C 6 alkyl ester of methacrylic acid, a monomer chosen from a vinyl-substitutednheterocyclic compound containing at least one of a nitrogen ornsulfur atom, (meth)acrylamide, a mono- or di- (C 1 -C 4 )alkylamino (C 1 -C 4 )alkyln(meth)acrylate, a mono or di-(C 1 -C 4 )alkylamino (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl (meth)acrylamide,nand, optionally, an associative monomer. |
