Aqueous skin cleaning agents in the form of viscous lotions, creams or gels containing vegetal abrasive materials, e.g. natural flours made from ground kernels, pods or seeds, have high stability with regard to enzymatic decomposition of thickening agents when the thickening agents used are biopolymers from the group of extracellular microbial polysaccharides, preferably xanthan gum. Preferred skin cleaning preparations contain 0.5-30 wt. % vegetal abrasives, optionally 0-20 wt. % other abrasive substances, 0.1-5 wt. % microbial polysaccharide thickening agents, 0.1-20 wt. % surfactants, 1-20 wt. % glycol, polyol or polyethylene glycol and 20-40 wt. % water.
