Abstract

A method of making a stable detersive surfactant containing personal care composition comprising the steps of emulsifying a stabilizing agent in the presence of anionic surfactant to form an emulsion containing droplets having a particle size of from about 0.1 to about 10 um. These particles are then cooled to form a stabilizing premix at a rate of about 10 to about 1000 C/min to form crystals from the droplets, the crystals having a maximum dimension of about 0.1 to about 3 um. These crystals are then added to a detersive surfactant containing personal care composition to increase stability.
