Abstract

A detergent composition having a) from about 1% to about 60%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant system wherein said surfactant system comprises: i) at least 35%, by weight of the surfactant system, of nonionic surfactant and ii) from 5% to about 20%, by weight of the surfactant system, of amine oxide. The detergent composition having greater than 3% of fatty acid.

Claims (16)

1. A detergent composition comprising:

a) from about 1% to about 60%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant system wherein said surfactant system comprises:

i) at least 35%, by weight of the surfactant system, of nonionic surfactant;

ii) from 5% to about 20%, by weight of the surfactant system, of amine oxide;

b) greater than 3%, by weight of the composition, of fatty acid; and

c) from about 35% to about 99%, by weight of the composition, of water;

wherein the surfactant system does not comprise alkyl ethoxy sulfate surfactants;

wherein the composition does not comprise silicone suds suppressor; and

wherein the composition comprises a fatty acid to amine oxide weight ratio of between 2 to 4.

2. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein from about 0.1% to about 100% of the carbon content of the nonionic surfactant, the amine oxide, or combinations thereof are derived from renewable sources.

3. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant system further comprises an additional surfactant selected from anionic surfactants other than the alkyl ethoxy sulfate surfactants, cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof.

4. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the composition comprises from about 5% to about 50%, by weight of the composition, of the surfactant system.

5. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises from about 15% to about 35%, by weight of the composition, of the surfactant system.

6. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises from about 0.1% to about 10.0%, by weight of the composition, of a laundry adjunct selected from enzymes, enzymes stabilizers, optical brighteners, hydrotropes, perfume, soil suspending polymers and/or soil release polymers, fabric care benefits, pH adjusting agents, dye transfer inhibiting agents, preservatives, hueing dyes, nonfabric substantive dyes, encapsulated actives, and mixtures thereof.

7. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises perfume microcapsules.

8. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a hueing dye.
