Personal care rinse off formulation

An aqueous personal care rinse off formulation comprising:

• a dermatologically acceptable aqueous vehicle;
• a dermatologically acceptable cleaning surfactant, wherein the dermatologically acceptable cleaning surfactant comprises an anionic surfactant;
• and
• an alkyl polysaccharide thickener, wherein the alkyl polysaccharide thickener comprises 50 to 100 wt %, based on weight of the alkyl polysaccharide thickener, of a linear alkyl polysaccharide of formula A
• wherein R is a linear C9-15 alkyl group;
• wherein n is an average of 1 to 2.5 and wherein S is a monosaccharide selected from the group consisting of ribulose, xylulose, ribose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose and mixtures thereof;
• and wherein 70 to 100 wt % of the monosaccharide S, based on weight of monosaccharide S in the linear alkyl polysaccharide of formula A, is xylose;
• with the proviso that the alkyl polysaccharide thickener comprises <15 wt %, based on weight of the alkyl polysaccharide thickener, of branched alkyl polysaccharide of formula I
• wherein R1 is a linear or branched C3-4 alkyl group;
• wherein R2 is a linear or branched C5-6 alkyl group;
• wherein G1 is a monosaccharide with 4 to 6 carbon atoms and wherein x is 1.1 to 4;
• and
• with the proviso that the alkyl polysaccharide thickener comprises <1.5 wt %, based on weight of the alkyl polysaccharide thickener, of branched alkylpolysaccharide of formula II
• wherein R3 is an alkyl or alkenyl moiety containing 7 to 30 carbon atoms with branching at the 2 or higher carbon position on R3, wherein the branching is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and mixtures thereof;
• wherein G2 is a saccharide moiety selected from the group consisting of glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, talose, gulose, allose, altrose, idose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose, ribose and mixtures thereof and wherein y is an average of ≥2.
