Liquid personal cleansing compositions which contain a complex coacervate for improved sensory perception

A liquid personal cleansing composition comprising:

• a) from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight of complex coacervate particles consisting essentially of a polycation having a minimum filtrate weight of about 10 grams and a polyanion, wherein said complex coacervate particles have a particle size distribution such that at least about 10% by weight of the particles have a diameter of greater than about 100 microns, wherein said complex coacervate particles are essentially free of crosslinking agent;
• and external to the coacervate particles:
• b) from about 1% to about 30% by weight of a lipophilic skin moisturizing agent;
• c) from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of a crystalline, hydroxyl-containing stabilizer selected from the group consisting of:
• ##STR7## wherein ##STR8## R.sub.2 is R.sub.1 or H R.sub.3 is R.sub.1 or H
• R.sub.4 is C.sub.0-20 alkyl
• R.sub.5 is C.sub.0-20 alkyl
• R.sub.6 is C.sub.0-20 alkyl
• R.sub.4 +R.sub.5 +R.sub.6 =C.sub.10-22
• and wherein 1.ltoreq.x+y.ltoreq.4;
• ##STR9## wherein R.sub.7 is --R.sub.4 (CHOH).sub.x R.sub.5 (CHOH).sub.y R.sub.6,
• x and y have the same meaning as above;
• M is Na.sup.+, K.sup.+ or Mg.sup.++, or H;
• and
• (iii) mixtures thereof;
• d) from about 5% to about 30% by weight of a lathering surfactant;
• and
• e) water.
