Patent ID: 7923426

Claim:
A detergent composition comprising: a non-sulphated anionic surfactant; and at least one alkyl sulphate surfactant, each alkyl sulphate surfactant in the detergent composition consisting of molecules having formula R 2 —O—SO 3 − M + , such that from 85% to 100% by weight of said molecules having formula R 2 —O—SO 3 − M + are molecules having formula R 1 —O—SO 3 − M + , where: each R 1 is a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, optionally alkoxylated C 6 -C 14 alkyl group; each R 2 is a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, optionally alkoxylated C 6 -C 18 alkyl group; and each M + is a proton or a cation, such that the proton or the cation provides charge neutrality to each alkyl sulphate surfactant.
