Abstract

Moisturizing liquid personal cleansing emulsion compositions which comprise a moisturizing phase and an aqueous cleansing phase are disclosed. The moisturizing phase comprises from about 1% to about 30% by weight of the composition of lipophilic skin moisturizing agents comprised of droplets having a particle size distribution such that at least about 10% by weight of the droplets have a diameter of at least about 200 microns. The aqueous cleansing phase comprises from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a stabilizer, from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the composition of a lathering surfactant, and water. The liquid personal cleansing emulsion compositions contain less than about 5% by weight of fatty acid soap.
