Abstract
An opacified liquid detergent composition includes at least one anionic surfactant, a fatty acid, calcium cations, and water. The fatty acid and calcium cations are present in the opacified liquid detergent composition in a weight ratio of the fatty acid to the calcium cations of from about 1:25 to about 1:150. 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.
Claims13
An opacified liquid detergent composition comprising:
- at least one anionic surfactant;
- a fatty acid present in an amount about 1.75% to about 3% by weight of the total composition;
- calcium chloride present in an amount of at least 0.2% by weight of the total composition;
- and
- water,
- wherein said calcium chloride and said fatty acid are present in said opacified liquid detergent composition in a weight ratio of said calcium chloride to said fatty acid of from about 1:10 to about 1:30,
- wherein said opacified liquid detergent composition is free of a microplastic opacifier,
- wherein said opacified liquid detergent composition has a turbidity value of at least about 2000 NTU measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C., and
- wherein said opacified liquid detergent composition remains structurally stable for at least about 1 month at 23° C.
