A cosmetic cleaning agent, comprises: in a cosmetic carrier: (a) greater than or equal to 12 wt % of a surfactant mixture comprising (i) at least one anionic surfactant and (ii) at least one zwitterionic/amphoteric surfactant in a weight ratio (i):(ii) of (2,5-3,5):1 (b) at least one cationic copolymer comprising (meth)acrylamide and dialkyldiallylammonium salts as the monomers and (c) at least one opacifier and/or one pearlizer wherein the quantities are based on the total weight of the cleaning agent. A method of producing a stable turbid and/or pearlescent cosmetic cleaning agent comprises: combining (a) at least one anionic surfactant and (b) at least one zwitterionic and/or an amphoteric surfactant to produce a surfactant combination and combining, at room temperature, the surfactant combination with, (c) at least one cationic copolymer comprising (meth)acrylamide and dialkyldiallylammonium salts as the monomers, and (d) at least one opacifier and/or one pearlizer.
