1. A shear-thinning surfactant composition structured into planar lamellar phases consisting of:
a) at least one anionic surfactant,
b) at least one compound chosen from amphoteric surfactants and nonionic surfactants,
c) optionally fragrance,
d) an acid or base for adjusting the pH, and
e) water,
in which the total active material of said surfactants is from 35% to 60% by weight, with respect to the total weight of said composition,
in which the ratio of anionic surfactant is from 0.4 to 0.8, the ratio of amphoteric surfactant is from 0.2 to 0.5 and the ratio of nonionic surfactant is from 0.0 to 0.1, said ratio being the ratio of the percentage by weight of active material of said surfactant in said composition to the percentage by weight of total active material of said surfactants in said composition,
the pH of the composition being between 4 and 8,
said at least one anionic surfactant is ammonium lauryl sulfate, and the shear-thinning surfactant composition is a sprayable gel,
wherein the fragrance, when present, ranges from 0.05% to 10% by weight, with respect to the total weight of said composition, and
in which water is from 40% to 65% by weight, with respect to the total weight of said composition.
