Method for incorporating high levels of emollient oils into bodywash

A method of preparing a bodywash composition incorporating a high level of emollient oil comprising:

• a) preparing a stable dispersion by combining together by intensive mixing from about 80 to about 90 percent by weight of an emollient oil, from about 0.5 to about 5 percent by weight of a surfactant and from about 5 to about 15 percent by weight of water;
• b) separately preparing a bodywash base comprising about 35 to about 50 percent by weight of water, from about 15 to about 25 percent by weight of at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, ampholytic and non-ionic surfactant, from about 2 to about 8 percent by weight of polyethylene glycol, from about 29 to about 35 percent by weight of an anionic surfactant, and an optional additional ingredient selected from the group consisting of:
• a preservative, a fragrance, a color adjustor, an antibacterial agent, and a vitamin;
• c) mixing together said stable dispersion with said bodywash base to disperse emollient oil from the stable dispersion into the bodywash base and form said bodywash composition having from about 10 to about 35 percent of said stable dispersion and from about 60 to about 90 percent by weight of said bodywash base.
