Abstract

The present disclosure relates to gentle cleansing compositions, which generally include: (a) a taurate surfactant; (b) an isethionate surfactant; (c) a betaine (and/or another amphoteric surfactant); and (d) a nonionic emulsifier. The cleansing compositions exhibit very good cleansing properties, are particularly effective for removing makeup, and are mild and moisturizing to the skin.
