Abstract

Described herein is a hair care composition having from about 0.2% to about 10% of one or more surfactant soluble active agents, from about 1% to about 10% of one or more viscosity reducing agents having a partition dispersion coefficient of from about 0.05 to about 2.0, from about 16% to about 40% of one or more anionic surfactants, and from about 40% to about 83% of a carrier. The hair care composition has a liquid phase kinematic viscosity, measured at 40 degrees Celsius, of from about 10 cSt to about 1000 cSt.
