(57) Abstract: (a) from about 1 to about 15% by weight of a short chain alkyl sulphate surfactant having an average of from 8 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and mixtures thereof; having an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 6, C 12 ~C 22 alkyl ethoxysulfate surfactant from about 1 to about 15 wt%, (c) C 8 ~C 10 alkyl sulfates other than anionic surfactants From about 0.1 to about 10% of a water-soluble co-surfactant selected from nonionic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof; (d) from about 0.01 to about 5 % Cationic conditioning polymer, and (e) water, wherein the ratio of said short chain alkyl sulfate surfactant: alkyl ethoxy sulfate is from about 1: 3 to about 3: 1, preferably about 2: 3. A liquid body cleansing composition ranging from 1 to about 1: 2. These products have excellent utility in use, including mildness, skin-feel for moisturizing the skin, excellent rinsing, good product stability, and lathering properties. |
