Abstract
A rinse-off skin conditioning composition employs a hydrocarbon oil, a di-block or tri-block copolymer as a viscosity improver, optionally a fatty acid ester as an emollient, and a surfactant soluble in the mixture of the hydrocarbon oil, copolymer and fatty acid ester, and capable of dispersing said composition in water. The composition may be applied when showering and then rinsed away, leaving a residue of approximately 3-25 percent by weight of the total applied after rinsing. The residue has a skin-conditioning effect.
