Abstract
A light duty liquid detergent with desirable cleansing properties and mildness to the human skin comprising: a sulfonate surfactants, an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a C.sub.8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate anionic surfactant, an alkali metal salt of an alkyl succinamate, and water.
Claims5
A clear light duty liquid cleaning composition which consisting essentially approximately by weight:
- (a) 0.5% to 22% of an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a C.sub.8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate;
- (b) 0.1% to 8% of an alkali metal salt of a C.sub.8 -C.sub.16 alkyl succinamate;
- (c) 0.5% to 10% of a magnesium salt of a C.sub.10 -C.sub.16 alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactant;
- (d) 1% to 12% of at least one solubilizing agent;
- (e) 3% to 20% of an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant;
- (f) 1% to 6% of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 alkyl monoalkanol amide and/or a C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 alkyl dialkanol amide;
- (g) 1% to 10% of a zwitterionic surfactant;
- (h) 1 to 30% of a nonionic surfactant;
- and
- (i) the balance being water, wherein the composition does not contain a space-filling, floc like aggregate of surfactant containing spherulites, substantially continuous with an aqueous liquid micellar solution and the composition does not contain an electrolyte selected from the group consisting of alkali metal silicate, alkali metal nitrates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal chlorides, alkali metal phosphates, alkali metal phosphonates, alkali metal citrates, alkali metal nitro triacetates, zeolites, and ethylene diamine tetraacetates and mixtures thereof.
