1. An aqueous liquid composition comprising:
- (a) 5 to 45% by wt. of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, nonionic surfactant and mixtures thereof;
(b) 0.1 to 5.0% by wt. dispersed cationic polymer particles having a particle size of about 1 to about 200 micrometers;
(c) 1 to 30% by wt. of a skin benefit agent emulsion having a particles size in the range of about 0.1 to about 10 micrometers;
(d) 1 to 30% by wt. of water soluble skin benefit agent;
wherein upon dilution of the liquid composition with water, said dispersed cationic polymer particle (b) dissolves and interacts with said skin benefit agent emulsion (c) to form emulsion/polymer aggregates having a length larger than about 50 micrometers.

Abstract
A stable aqueous liquid comprising surfactant, dispersed cationic polymer particle and small particle benefit agent. The dispersed polymer interacts with the benefit agent, without need of additional structurant to stabilize particles in solution. Further, upon dilution, enhanced cationic deposition is achieved.

14. A process for enhancing deposition of oil/emollient droplets having a particle size of 0.1 to 10 micrometers which process comprises:
-
(a) combining said oil droplets with dispersed cationic polymer in an aqueous solution to form dispersed oil and dispersed cationic polymer in an aqueous surfactant solution; and (b) diluting said aqueous surfactant solution such that dispersed cationic polymer particles dissolve and induce formation of cationic polymer/oil aggregates having length greater than 50 micrometers.
