Abstract:
A surfactant composition comprising:(a) from about 20 to about 63% by weight of an acyl isethionate;(b) from about 3 to about 52% by weight of a nonionic sugar surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucose esters, aldobionamides, gluconamides, glyceramides, glyceroglycolipids, polyhydroxy fatty acid amides, alkyl polyglycosides having the general formula I:R.sub.1 O(R.sub.2 O).sub.b (Z).sub.a Iwherein R.sub.1 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is divalent alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms; Z is a saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms; b is a number having a value from 0 to about 12; a is a number having a value from 1 to about 6, and mixtures thereof;(c) from about 11 to about 23% by weight of a free fatty acid; and(d) remainder, water, all weights being based on the weight of the surfactant composition.
