Abstract: Liquid personal wash composition comprises a synthetic anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant in range of 4:1 to 0.1:1. Use of levels of at least 10% of a specified PEG provides both enhanced lather and enhanced mildness.

Abstract: An aqueous liquid detergent composition comprises a mixture of synthetic anionic and amphoteric surfactants in a weight ratio within the range 4:1 to 0.1:1 and a polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of not more than 100,00. The later component boosts the lather of the composition during use. It may also enhance the mildness of the formulation.
