Detergent compositions containing polyhydroxy fatty acid amide, sulfated polyhydroxy fatty acid amide and soap

摘要

Mixed nonionic/anionic surfactants which comprise polyhydroxy fatty acid amides and their sulfated analogs are used with soaps in various cleaning functions. Thus, C10-C22 fatty acid N-alkyl glucamides are partly sulfated to form mixtures of the nonionic glucamide and the anionic glucamide sulfate. The resulting mixtures are admixed with soaps to provide extremely low interfacial tensions and good cleaning of fabrics, dishware, skin and hair. Excellent removal of cosmetic stains from fabrics is also provided.
