A cleansing composition comprising:
- a cleansing agent;
- and
- a mixture of a plurality of reduced malto-oligosaccharide species, said mixture having a dextrose equivalent (DE) of essentially zero, said plurality of malto-oligosaccharide species differing at least in degree of polymerization (DP) value thus defining a DP profile for said mixture, at least about 40% of said malto-oligosaccharides in said mixture having a DP value greater than 10, said plurality of malto-oligosaccharides comprising a maltodextrin.
