1. A disposable, single use personal care cleansing and conditioning product comprising:
- (A) a water insoluble substrate,(B) from about 0.5% to about 12.5% by weight of said water insoluble substrate of a lathering surfactant added onto or impregnated into said substrate, and(C) from about 3% to about 99% by weight of said water insoluble substrate of a conditioning component added onto or impregnated into said substrate separately from said lathering surfactant, said conditioning component comprising,(i) a water soluble conditioning agent, and(ii) an oil soluble conditioning agent,wherein the weight ratio of the lathering surfactant to the conditioning component is less than about 40;
7, andwherein said product is substantially dry.
