The invention provides (A) an aqueous amphoteric-based opacifier (e.g. pearl concentrate), which comprises: water; a mixture of glycol stearates comprising from 2 to 15%, by weight, based on the total weight of the suspension, of ethylene glycol monostearate and from 15 to 36%, by weight, based on the total weight of the suspension, of ethylene glycol distearate; from 12 to 25% by weight of amphoteric surfactant; less than 15%, by weight, based on the weight of the amphoteric surfactant, of electrolyte; and from 0 to 10%, by weight, of nonionic or anionic surfactant, and (B) according to a further embodiment, a 'two component' opacifier, which comprises: water; a mixture of glycol stearates comprising from 2 to 12%, by weight, based on the total weight of the suspension, of ethylene glycol monostearate and from 15 to 36%, by weight, based on the total weight of the suspension, of ethylene glycol distearate; from 12 to 25% by weight of a single surfactant selected from anionic, non-ionic, amphoteric and cationic surfactants; from 0.1 to 2% total of a non-ionic or anionic deflocculant having a hydrophilic group with a mass of at least 100 amu and having an HLB greater than 12, and/or a non-ionic dispersant having an HLB of 1.5 to 10.
