Clear cleansing composition
A cleansing composition comprising a detersive surfactant; an aqueous carrier; from about 0.5% to about 30% by weight of the cleansing composition of discrete particles comprising anhydrous particles and an aqueous phase, and wherein said anhydrous particles comprise: one or more fatty amphiphile selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol, fatty ester, fatty acid, fatty amide and mixtures thereof; of one or more secondary surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, cationic or mixtures thereof. Wherein the discrete particle of the cleansing composition has a size from about 500 microns to about 7000 microns, and wherein the cleansing composition has a % transmittance of about 75% or higher.
1. A cleansing composition comprising:
(a) a detersive surfactant;
(b) an aqueous carrier;
(c) from about 0.5% to about 30% by weight of the cleansing composition of discrete particles comprising anhydrous particles and an aqueous phase, and wherein said anhydrous particles comprise:
(1) one or more fatty amphiphile selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol, fatty ester, fatty acid, fatty amide and mixtures thereof; and
(2) one or more secondary surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, cationic or mixtures thereof;
wherein the discrete particle has a size of 500 microns to 15000 microns, wherein the cleansing composition has a % transmittance of about 75% or higher.
2. The cleansing composition of claim 1 , wherein the fatty amphiphile is from about 0.25% to about 15% by weight of the cleansing composition.
3. The cleansing composition of claim 1 , wherein the size of the discrete particle is 500 microns to 7000 microns.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the anhydrous particle has a size scale of about 1 mm to about 10 mm.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the discrete particle is in a semi-hydrated gel phase and has a compression of from about 0.5 gram-force units to about 50 gram-force units as determined using the KES-FB3-A Compression Tester.
6. A cleansing composition comprising:
(a) a detersive surfactant;
(b) an aqueous carrier;
(c) from about 0.5% to about 30% by weight of the cleansing composition of discrete particles comprising anhydrous particles and an aqueous phase, and wherein said anhydrous particles comprise:
1) at least two fatty amphiphiles selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol, fatty ester, fatty acid, fatty amide, and mixtures thereof; and
2) one or more secondary surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, cationic or mixtures thereof, wherein the secondary surfactant comprises a hydrophobic tail group with a chain length of 16 to 22 carbon atoms, and wherein a weight ratio of fatty amphiphile to secondary surfactant is 1:5 to 100:1; and
(d) wherein the discrete particle has a size of 500 microns to 15000 microns, wherein the cleansing composition has a % transmittance of about 75% or higher.
