Abstract: Disclosed are citric acid fatty alcohol ester polyglycol ether sulfosuccinates of the general formula (1) ##STR1## and personal care products containing them, in which each R is the same or different and is H or -CH.sub.3 ; ##STR2## R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of ##STR3## acyl radicals having 8-22 carbon atoms, which radicals are optionally substituted and optionally contain one or more multiple bonds;R.sup.3 is an alkyl or acyl radical having 8-22 carbon atoms, which is optionally substituted and optionally contains multiple bonds;a and b, which are identical or different, are each 0-5, provided that the sum of (a+b) is at least 1;c is 0-15; andX.sup.+ is in each occurrence H.sup.+ or a cation.
