1. A clear stable liquid micro-emulsion cleanser composition comprising:
- a. from about 0.5% to 10% of a terpene selected from mono- and sesquiterpenes and mixtures thereof;
b. from about 0.5% to about 10% of a water soluble glycol ether solvent;
c. from about 0.5% to about 10% of an isopropylamine salt of linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid as a first anionic surfactant;
d. from about 0.4% to about 10% of a sodium 1-octane sulfonate as a second anionic surfactant to provide coupling and stability effects;
e. from about 0.5% to about 10% of an alkyl ethoxylate nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 11 to 15 to approximate the HLB of the terpene solvent;
f. from about 2.0% to about 22.8% by weight of a 35% by weight aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide;
g. from about 0.2% to 4% by weight of a food grade anti-oxidant based on the terpene weight percentage to stabilize the terpene;
h. from about 1.0% to 5.0% by weight of a polyacrylate-polyalcohol polymer used as a thickening agent; and
i. deionized water.
