The invention relates to stable, mild and moisturizing lamellar liquidcleansing compositions which possess a lotion-likeappearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. However, theseliquids often are either unstable or cause poor lather productionand other sensory deficits The use of a specific ratio of total acylisethionates to acyl glutamates or other divalent anionic surfactantin a structured liquid product improve stability and lather production,mildness and acceptable odor.
