In one embodiment, the present invention relates to novel two tail-two head and two tail-one head surfactants. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a novel composition of matter having the general formula: <IMAGE> wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are selected from linear or branched hydrocarbon chains with from 6 to 22 carbon atoms; R3 is H, SO13yM+, or -O(CH2CH2O)nX; R4 is SO-yM+, or -O(CH2CH2O)nX; M is H, Li, Na, K, Rb or Cs; n is an integer from 2 to 50; y is 3 or 4; and, X is H or SO13yM+. Preferably, in the above composition when R3 is other than H, R3=R4.
