Abstract

A high foaming, light duty, liquid detergent with desirable cleansing properties and mildness to the human skin comprising a water soluble nonionic surfactant, a sulfate anionic surfactant, a sulfonate anionic surfactant, a polyethylene glycol, stably suspended oil containing gelatin beads, a polyacrylate polymeric thickener and water.

Claims

1. A light duty, liquid cleaning composition comprising approximately, by weight:

(a) 1% to 10% of a water soluble nonionic surfactant;

(b) 20% to 40% of a water-soluble anionic sulfonate surfactant;

(c) 0.1% to 6.0% of a polyethylene glycol;

(d) 0.25% to 6% of an ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate surfactant;

(e) 2% to 5% of a polyacrylate polymeric thickener;

(f) 0.05 to 4% of oil containing gelatin bead particles which are stably suspended in said light duty liquid cleaning composition;

(g) the balance being water.

2. A liquid cleaning composition according to claim 1 wherein said nonionic surfactant is said condensate of a primary C₈-C₁₈ alkanol with 5-30 moles of ethylene oxide.

3. A liquid cleaning composition according to claim 2 wherein said anionic sulfonate is selected from the group consisting of C₁₀-C₁₅ alkylbenzene sulfonates, C₁₃-C₁₇ paraffin sulfonates and C₁₂-C₁₈ alpha olefin sulfonates.

4. A liquid cleaning composition according to claim 1 further including 0.1 to 4.0 wt. % of a perservative.

5. A liquid cleaning composition according to claim 1 further including a magnesium inorganic salt.

6. A liquid cleaning composition according to claim 1 further including a proton donating agent.
