  • Patent number: 11667871
    Abstract: A detergent composition includes a surfactant component in an amount of about 20 to about 75 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the detergent composition. The surfactant component includes an alkyl ether sulfate, an alkoxylated alcohol, and a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The alkyl ether sulfate is present in an amount of greater than about 20 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the surfactant component. The linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is present in an amount of less than about 40 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the surfactant component. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 10 to about 80 weight and an alkyl dialkylamine oxide present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent actives, each based on a total weight of the detergent composition.
