Abstract
The present invention relates to non-abrasive personal care cleansing compositions. These compositions utilize insoluble micronized cleansing particles of defined particle size that are not tactilely perceived by the user during the cleansing process, and yet which provide improved cleansing performance from the composition. These compositions also comprise a surfactant, an emollient and water.

A nonabrasive personal cleansing composition comprising:
- (a) from about 0.05% to about 40% of water insoluble particles selected from the group consisting of polybutylene, polyethylene, polyisobutylene, polymethylstyrene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, nylon, teflon, polyhalogenated olefins, polyethylene/polypropylene copolymer, polyethylene/propylene/isobutylene copolymer, polyethylene/styrene copolymer and mixtures thereof and having a mean particle size diameter from about 1 micron to about 75 microns, with greater than about 95% of said particles in said composition having a diameter less than about 75 microns,
- (b) from about 0.05% to about 40% of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof,
- (c) from 0% to about 50% of an emollient, and
- (d) from about 20% to about 99.85% water.

A nonabrasive personal cleansing composition, in the form of a bar, comprising:
- (a) from about 0.1% to about 20% of water insoluble particles selected from the group consisting of polybutylene, polyethylene, polyisobutylene, polymethylstyrene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, nylon, teflon, polyhalogenated olefins, polyethylene/polypropylene copolymer, polyethylene/propylene/isobutylene copolymer, polyethylene/styrene copolymer and mixtures thereof and having a mean particle size diameter from about 1 micron to about 75 microns, with greater than about 95% of said particles in said composition having a diameter less than about 75 microns,
- (b) from about 50% to about 90% of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof,
- (c) from 0% to about 50% of an emollient, and
