Abstract

The present invention relates to liquid and powdered surfactant compositions comprising alkyl (alkyl glycosid) uronamide compounds. Compositions comprising these compounds have been found to provide significant benefits such as stable, aqueous foam (in shampoo compositions) and enhanced detergency and oily soil removal (in detergent compositions).

Claims

1. A surfactant composition comprising an alkyl(alkyl glycosid)uronamide wherein said alkyl(alkylglycosid)uronamide is selected from the group consisting of:

##STR6## wherein;

R₁ is a saturated or unsaturated alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 8 carbons; and

R is a saturated or unsaturated alkyl or alkenyl group having 6 to 24 carbons.

2. A composition according to claim 1, wherein R₁ has 1 to 3 carbons or is hydrogen and R has 8 to 18 carbons.

3. A composition according to claim 1 which is a liquid shampoo composition.

4. A composition according to claim 3 wherein the shampoo has the following ingredients:
