Use Of Alkyl Dialkylamine Oxide And Surfactant Blend To Increase Mildness Of Unit Dose Or Liquid Laundry Detergent

A detergent composition comprising:

• A. a surfactant component present in an amount of about 40 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said detergent composition and consisting of;
• (1) a sodium C10-18 alcohol ethoxylate sulfate having about 2 to about 3 ethoxylate groups and present in an amount of from about 24 to about 88 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said surfactant component;
• (2) a C10-C18 alcohol ethoxylate that is capped with approximately 7 moles of ethylene oxide and present in an amount of from about 12 to about 50 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said surfactant component;
• and
• (3) at least one anionic surfactant comprising a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate comprising an alkali metal salt of a C10-C16 alkyl benzene sulfonic acid and present in an amount of from about 0 to about 38 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said surfactant component;
• B. water present in a total amount of from about 25 to about 30 weight percent based on a total weight of said detergent composition;
• and
• C. C12-C14 dimethylamine oxide present in an amount of about 5 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said detergent composition.

A unit dose detergent pack comprising:

• a pouch made of a water-soluble film;
• and
• a detergent composition encapsulated within said pouch, wherein said detergent composition comprises:
• A. a surfactant component present in an amount of about 20 to about 75 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said detergent composition and comprising;
• (1) an alkyl ether sulfate;
• (2) an alkoxylated alcohol;
• and
• (3) a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate;
• wherein said alkyl ether sulfate is present in an amount of greater than about 20 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said surfactant component and said linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is present in an amount of less than about 40 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said surfactant component;
• B. water present in a total amount of from about 10 to about 80 weight percent based on a total weight of said detergent composition;
• and
• C. an alkyl dialkylamine oxide present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent actives based on a total weight of said detergent composition.
