Abstract: A solid cleansing composition which comprises a high proportion of soap and exhibits reduced or eliminated grit formation and which can be made by conventional manufacturing processes. The composition comprises soap, C8-22 fatty acid, at least one isethionate ester surfactant, and at least one alkyl isethionate ester surfactant.

Abstract: A free-flowing surfactant composition comprising at least one anionic surface-active agent, an alkanolamide, an electrolyte, and water is described. In particular, the composition is a surfactant composition that has free-flowing non-Newtonian shear thinning properties and the ability to suspend components and is stable under at least one freeze/thaw cycle.

Abstract: A detergent composition having low eye and skin irritation properties and capable of forming a high viscosity composition in water which includes an adduct of ethylene oxide or mixtures of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and a glycerol ester of certain carboxylic acids; and an anionic surface active agent.

Abstract: A liquid detergent system wherein the active content is a combination of an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in the form of ethoxylated partial glycerol esters of a higher, detergent grade fatty acid and optionally containing a foam stabilizing agent. These systems are particularly useful for formulating shampoos and light duty liquid household cleaning compositions having low eye and skin irritation properties.

Abstract: A liquid detergent system wherein the active content is a combination of an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in the form of alkoxylated partial glycerol esters of a detergent grade fatty acid and optionally containing a foam stabilizing agent. The indicated nonionics are characterized in having a polyoxyalkylene chain composed of randomly distributed oxyethylene and oxypropylene residues. These systems are particularly useful for formulating shampoos and light duty liquid household cleaning compositions having low eye and skin irritation properties.
