A lotion for the topical application to reduce a swimmer's friction when swimming in water made by combining an aqueous phase comprising and at least one humectant with an oil phase. The at least one humectant is present in the aqueous phase in the range of from 45 to 97 wt. %. The oil phase comprises at least one surfactant and at least one oil, and is present in the lotion in the range of about 5 to 45 wt. %. The surfactant is present in the oil phase in the range of from about 0.1 to 25 wt. %. The lotion is stable, homogenous and hydrophobic, and reduces friction when swimming in water, with the lotion applied to a swimmer.

A personal cleansing composition includes a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system includes from 0.1% to 5% of a fatty acyl isethionate surfactant by weight of the composition; from 0.5% to 40% of a co-surfactant by weight of the composition; from 0.05% to 5% of a natural polysaccharide or a chemically modified natural polysaccharide by weight of the composition; wherein the personal cleansing composition includes a first and second phase, wherein the first phase is an isotropic and micellar surfactant phase; wherein the second phase is a polymer liquid crystalline phase; wherein the composition is free of alkyl sulfate and alkyl ether sulfate type of surfactants; wherein the composition exhibits a yield stress value τ.sub.y from 0.005 Pa to 3 Pa; and wherein the composition exhibits a flow viscosity from 3 Pa.Math.s to 100 Pa.Math.s at 25° C. at a shear rate of 1.5 s.sup.−1.
