Abstract
An opacified liquid detergent composition includes at least one anionic surfactant, a fatty acid, magnesium cations, calcium cations, and water. The fatty acid, magnesium cations, and calcium cations are present in the opacified liquid detergent composition in a weight ratio of from about 0.95:0.04:0.01 to about 0.88:0.11:0.01 of fatty acid to magnesium cations to calcium cations. The opacified liquid detergent composition is free of a microplastic opacifier and has a turbidity value of greater than 250 NTU measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C.
Claims17
An opacified liquid detergent composition comprising:
- a) at least one anionic surfactant;
- b) a fatty acid present in an amount of from about 1.25 wt. % to about 7 wt. %;
- c) magnesium cations present in an amount of from about 0.05 wt. % to about 0.75 wt. %;
- d) calcium cations present in an amount of from about 0.01 wt. % to about 0.075 wt. %;
- and
- e) water,
- wherein said fatty acid, said magnesium cations, and said calcium cations are present in said opacified liquid detergent composition in a weight ratio of from about 0.97:0.03:0.01 to about 0.78:0.20:0.02 of fatty acid to magnesium cations to calcium cations, and
- wherein said opacified liquid detergent composition has a turbidity value of greater than 250 NTU measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C.
