A personal care composition which exhibits excellent cleaning qualities without the use, or inclusion, of a sulfated surfactant. Generally, the personal care compositions described herein contain from about 0.01 wt % to about 0.05 wt % of aloe. The aloe vera can contain salts, which can further increase aloe vera potentiation, making the aloe vera more available to deliver consumer desired benefits such as increased hair strength as demonstrated by a decrease in hair breakage during washing. The aloe vera can contain from about 100 mg/100 g (of aloe) to about 300 mg/100 g (of aloe) of a material selected from the group consisting of sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt, zinc salt, magnesium salt, copper salt and mixtures thereof. Additionally, the personal care compositions described herein contain a cationic cellulose polymer. The cationic cellulose polymer can have a weight average molecular weight of from about 1 Million to about 2.2 Million, and from about 1.8 Million to about 2 Million; and a charge density of from about 0.4 to about 2.6, from about 0.4 to about 2, and from about 0.6 to about 1.6. |
