A structured cleansing composition comprising a) from 0.1 to 40 wt % of a non-sulphate containing anionic surfactant comprising i) an
amino acid head group; ii) an
alkyl tail with a carbon-
carbon chain length of from C6 to C22, b) from 0.15 to 4 wt % of a
polysaccharide selected from the group consisting of
agar,
agarose,
agaropectin and mixtures thereof; and c) an oil; wherein the
polysaccharide is in the form of gel particles; wherein the composition has
viscosity in the range of from 1,000 to 50,000 mPa.s, preferably from 1,000 to 25,000, more preferably from 2,000 to 25,000 mPa.s, even more preferably from 2,100 to 15,000 mPa.s, when measured at 25 degrees C and 4s-1, using sandblasted 40mm parallel plates, on a
Wingspan rheometer (TA instruments); and wherein the composition comprises no added salt.
