The liquid of the present invention can provide good cleansing, lather and good sensory feel and yet surprisingly provide a lipid moisturizing benefit via deposition of the lipid on the skin of the user. The liquid composition is stable and on a macro scale is homogeneous. The dual cleansing and lipid moisturizing liquid composition of this invention comprises: (1) about 5 parts to about 30 parts of a lipid skin moisturizing agent; (2) about 1 to about 15 parts of an ethylene glycol fatty acid ester; (3) from about 0.05 parts to about 3 parts of a selected water dispersible gel forming polymer; (4) from about 5 parts to about 30 parts of a lathering synthetic surfactant; and (5) water, and wherein said synthetic surfactant and any soap has a combined CMC equilibrium surface tension value of from 15 to 50, and wherein said lathering skin cleansing liquid composition has a Lipid Deposition Value (LDV) of from about 5 to about 1000 νg of lipid per sq. cm of skin. |
