The shampoo composition has a consumer-preferred viscosity of greater than 2500 cP, a pH greater than 5.5 and lacks in-situ coacervate.

Shampoo compositions containing a sulfate-free surfactant system and sclerotium gum thickener

A stable mild shampoo composition delivering consumer desired wet conditioning, moisture feel and viscosity. The shampoo may contain 5 wt % to 35 wt % of alkyl polyglucoside; 0.15 wt % to 1.05% sclerotium gum, and 0.15 wt % to 1.05% of a cationic polymer. The shampoo has a viscosity of 0.6 Pa-s to 20 Pa-s, which allows for ease of use by the consumer. It may be desirable for the shampoo to contain less than 1 wt % ionic surfactant.
