1. A shampoo composition consisting of:
- (a) from about 2% to about 35% by weight of at least one surfactant;
wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, amphoteric, or nonionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof,(b) from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of a silicone oil having an internal phase viscosity of from about 5 csk about 50,000 csk, wherein said silicone oil is present as a preformed microemulsion of particles having an average particle size of less than about 0.15 microns, the emulsion comprising;
(i) water,(ii) surfactants selected from the group consisting of TEA dodecyl benzene sulfonates, laureth 23 and combinations thereof and(iii) the silicone oil;
wherein the molar equivalent of surfactant in the shampoo composition is equal to or greater than the molar equivalent of surfactant in the preformed microemulsion;
(c) from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of a cationic deposition polymer selected from the group consisting of cationic cellulose polymers having a molecular weight of at least about 800,000 and cationic guar polymers having a molecular weight of at least about 800,000 and a charge density of at least about 0.1 meq/g;
(d) an aqueous carrier; and
(e) from about 0.1% to about 0.5% of a stabilizing agent.

Abstract
Shampoo compositions comprising at least one surfactant; a silicone oil having an internal phase viscosity of less than about 50,000 cst, wherein said silicone oil is present as a preformed microemulsion of particles having an average particle size of less than about 0.15 microns, a cationic deposition polymer; an aqueous carrier and optionally a stabilizing agent provide a substantially clear shampoo composition, which provides superior conditioning to hair and/or skin while also providing excellent storage stability and high optical transparency or translucency.
