A rinse-off liquid personal cleansing composition comprising: (a) water; (b) from about 1 % to about 60 % by weight of a water soluble surfactant; (c) a water-insoluble oil selected from highly branched polyalphaolefins having formula (A) wherein R1 is H or C¿1?-C20 alkyl, R?4 is C¿1-C20 alkyl, R2 is H or C¿1?-C20, and R?3 is C¿3-C20 preferably from C5-C20, n is an integer from 0 to 3 and m is an integer of from 1 to 1000 and having a number average molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 25,000; and (d) a hydrophobic skin active component selected from antimicrobial agents, sunscreens, vitamins, perfume oils, insect repellants, anti fungal agents, and mixtures thereof, wherein the hydrophobic skin active component has a ClogP value of greater than 3. The personal cleansing compositions of the invention provide improved deposition of hydrophobic skin actives, excellent rinse feel and skin mildness. |
