Abstract
A structured liquid detergent composition in the form of a liquid matrix made up of an external structuring system of a bacterial cellulose network; water; and surfactant system including an anionic surfactant; a nonionic surfactant; a cationic surfactant; an ampholytic surfactant; a zwitterionic surfactant; or mixtures thereof, wherein said liquid matrix has a yield stress of from about 0.003 Pa to about 5.0 Pa at about 25° C. and provides suitable particle suspension capabilities and shear thinning characteristics.
Claims15
A liquid detergent composition comprising:
- a. a liquid matrix comprising:
- i. from about 0.005% to about 1.0% by weight of said liquid detergent composition of an external structuring system comprising a bacterial cellulose network;
- ii. from about 1% to about 75% by weight of said liquid detergent composition of water;
- iii. from about 0.01% to about 70% by weight of said liquid detergent composition of a surfactant system comprising from about 5% to about 60% of an anionic surfactant and from about 0.1% to about 25% of amine oxide;
- and
- iv. from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight of said liquid detergent composition of an organic solvent;
- wherein said liquid matrix has a yield stress of from about 0.003 Pa to about 5.0 Pa at about 25° C. and wherein said surfactant system has a ratio of about 2.5:1 to about 18:1 of anionic surfactant to said amine oxide.
