Liquid detergent composition
A detergent composition having a) from about 10% to about 60%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant system wherein the surfactant system includes: 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.
1. A liquid detergent composition comprising:
a) from about 10% 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) fatty acid; and
c) from about 35% to about 80%, by weight of the composition, of water;
wherein the surfactant system does not comprise alkyl ethoxy sulfate surfactants; wherein the composition does not comprise a silicone suds suppressor; and the fatty acid to amine oxide weight ratio is from 2 to 4.
2. The liquid 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 liquid detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant system further comprises an additional surfactant selected from anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof.
4. The liquid detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the composition comprises from about 15% to about 50%, by weight of the composition, of the surfactant system.
5. The liquid 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 liquid 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 liquid detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises perfume microcapsules.
8. The liquid detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a hueing dye.
9. The liquid detergent composition of claim 1 , further comprising an anionic surfactant comprising a first anionic surfactant, wherein said first anionic surfactant consists essentially of a mixture of surfactant isomers of Formula I and surfactants of Formula II:
wherein from about 50% to about 100% by weight of the first anionic surfactant are isomers having m+n=11; wherein from about 25% to about 50% of the mixture of surfactant isomers of Formula I have n=0; wherein from about 0.001% to about 25% by weight of the first surfactant are surfactants of Formula II; and wherein X is a hydrophilic moiety.
