Disclosed are multi-staged acrylic emulsion polymers and their use as rheology modifiers in the formulation of liquid personal care cleansers for the skin and hair. More particularly, the present technology relates to liquid cleansing compositions that possess the necessary rheology properties to stably suspend particles and insoluble materials within the cleanser but may also be used with pump dispensers to generate and dispense a creamy foam without fouling the pump mechanism.
