An alkaline earth alkylaryl sulfonate having a BN of at least 250, wherein t he aryl radical is not phenol, wherein the alkyl chain is a linear chain that contai ns between 14 and 40 carbon atoms, and wherein the mole % of the aryl-sulfonate radical fixed on position 1 or 2 of the linear alkyl chain is between 13% and 30%. Such an alkaline earth alkylaryl sulfonate has improved compatibility, solubility, a nd foaming performances while having low color and no skin formation. The starting alkylate has a low iodine number, a very high level of monoalkylate, and, as a consequence, a high yield at the sulfonation step.
