The present invention relates to a body having an aqueous continuous phase comprising a cleaning surfactant and a solubilized 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. A cleaning composition wherein a hydrocarbon oil is solubilized in a string of micelles in an aqueous continuous phase by a linker molecule and an inorganic electrolyte; the linker molecule is of formula R (X) n , where R is C 6 -C 14 A monovalent, divalent or trivalent saturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbyl group, n is 1 to 3, and each X is independently selected from —OH and —COOH. Provided is a composition wherein the level of hydrocarbon oil in the composition is in the range of 0.8 to 1.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. |
