Abstract
The present invention provides an aqueous shower-gel composition comprising: 10-30% wt of an anionic surfactant, 3-15% wt of an oily component, the ratio of said anionic surfactant to said oil being at least 1:1, 1-5% wt of a fatty acid monoglyceride polyglycol ether, and, 1-5% wt of at least one nonionic surfactant having a HLB between 5 and 10. The oily component is present at a level which provides a skin benefit. The composition has a viscosity suitable for use as a shower-gel, contains an effective level of low molecular weight moisturising oil and does not lose product structure due to the presence of this oil. Typically, the oily component is a 3-6 carbon alcohol ester of a fatty acid having at least 10 carbon atoms.
