Abstract:
1. A structured surfactant composition, comprising, based on 100 parts by weight of said composition: (i) from about 0.5 to about 10 parts by weight of an alkyl ether sulfate surfactant comprising one or more compounds according to structure (I): (ii) from about 1.5 to about 12 parts by weight of an alkyl sulfate surfactant comprising one or more compounds according to structure (II): (iii) from about 0.5 to about 6 parts by weight of an alkanolamide surfactant comprising one or more compounds according to structure (III): (iv) from 0 to about 8 parts by weight of an amphoteric surfactant comprising one or more compounds selected from compounds according to structures (IV) and (V): wherein: (v) an amount of electrolyte effective to, in combination with components (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) and in the absence of a polymer thickener, provide a liquid crystalline structured surfactant composition having an opaque visual appearance and exhibiting a yield strength of greater than 0 Pascals, and (vi) water.
