Abstract:
A liquid detergent composition comprising:a) a sunscreer having the formula (I); ##STR8## in which: M is hydrogen, an alkali metal ion, ammonium or a cation formed from an amine;R.sub.1 is a group having one of the following formulae (i) to (vii): ##STR9## in which R.sub.3 is optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted aryl; ##STR10## in which R.sub.4 is hydrogen, an alkali metal ion, ammonium or cation formed from an amine, optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted aryl; ##STR11## in which R.sub.5 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl or --NR.sub.7 R.sub.8 in which R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 independently, are hydrogen, CH.sub.3 optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted aryl, or R.sub.7 and R.sub.8, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a heterocyclic residue; ##STR12## in which R.sub.6 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted aryl, provided that R.sub.6 is not carboxymethyl or hydroxymethyl;R.sub.2 is independently hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl, ##STR13## OH.sub.1 --NH.sub.2, --N(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH).sub.2 N(CH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.3).sub.2 --NH--R.sub.4, --N(R.sub.4).sub.2 or --OR.sub.4 in which R.sub.4 has its previous significance;n.sub.1 and n.sub.2, independently, are 0 or 1;(b) less than 5% by weight total of builder salts; and from 5% to 50% by weight of anionic surfactant;wherein the composition is substantially transparent in the absence of opacifier.
