Aqueous surfactant compositions

An aqueous surfactant composition comprising

• one or more alpha-sulfa fatty acid disalt (A) of general formula
• R1CH(SO3M1)COOM2 (I)
• in which the radical R1 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 6 to 18 carbon atoms and the radicals M1 and M2, independently of one another, are selected from the group consisting of H, Li, Na, K, Ca/2, Mg/2, ammonium, and alkanolamine,
• one or more silicone compound (B) selected from the group consisting of amodimethicones (B1), dimethicones (B2), dimethiconols (B3) and cyclomethicones (B4), and
• water,
• where the following provisos apply:
• if the aqueous surfactant compositions comprises one or more ester sultanate (E) of general formula (V),
• R2CH(SO3M7)COOR3 (V)
• in which the radical R2 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 6 to 18 carbon atoms and the radical R3 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, where the radical R3 can be an alkenyl radical or be branched only above 3 carbon atoms, and the radical M7 is selected from the group comprising consisting of Li, Na, K, Ca/2, Mg/2, ammonium, and alkanolamine, it is the case that the compound (A), based on the totality of the compounds (A) and (E), must be present to an extent of 50% by weight or more.
• the amodimethicones (B1) have a general formula (IIa),
• HO—Si(CH3)2—O—[Si(CH3)2—O]n—[Si(OH)((CH2)3NH(CH2)2NH2)—O]m—Si(CH3)2—OH (IIa)
• in which index n is an integer between 10 and 100 000 and index m is an integer between 2 and 20 000,
• the dimethicones (B2) have a general formula (IIb),
• (CH3)3Si—O—[Si(CH3)2—O]x—Si(CH3)3 (IIb)
• in which index x is an integer between 10 and 100 000,
• the dimethiconols (B3) have a general formula (IIc),
• OH—Si(CH3)2—O—[Si(CH3)2—O]y—Si(CH3)2—OH (IIc)
• in which index y is an integer between 10 and 100 000, and
• the cyclomethicones (B4) have a general formula (IId),
• [Si(CH3)2O], (IId)
• in which index z is an integer between 3 and 6.
