Fecha de publicación: -- Fuente: WIPO "tomato" The present invention is directed to a cleansing powder composition. More particularly, the cleansing powder composition comprises a solid ionic surfactant comprising at least one anionic surfactant and at least one zwitterionic surfactant; a solid nonionic surfactant; cold-swellable modified starch; oily component; and optionally basic neutralizer. The cleansing powder composition is mild during use and generates consumer-desirable lathering characteristics. Such a cleansing powder composition unexpectedly is convenient to evacuate from packaging, hydrates rapidly into a lamellar wash composition, and provides superior lather during use.
