Patent ID: 8901059

Claim:
A liquid hand dishwashing detergent composition comprising: (a) from about 0.2% to about 3% by weight of the total composition of a chelant comprising glutamic-N,N-diacetic acid or a derivative thereof, (b) from about 12% to about 45% by weight of the total composition of a surfactant system consisting of: (i) an anionic surfactant present in an amount from about 3 to about 20% by weight of the total composition, (ii) an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant present at a level from about 3% to about 7% by weight of the total composition, and (iii) a coco dimethyl amine oxide amphoteric surfactant present at a level from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the total composition, wherein an average alkyl chain branching of the surfactants is at least about 20% by weight of the total surfactants and is provided by branched anionic surfactants, and wherein the weight ratio of total surfactant to nonionic surfactant is from about 2 to about 6, and wherein the composition does not include any additional surfactant other than the surfactant system.
