Claims
- 1. An aqueous hair shampoo composition containing about 10 to 20% by weight of (1) an anionic surface active agent comprising an ammonium, amine or alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of a sulfated condensation product of ethylene oxide with a base formed by condensing propylene oxide with propylene glycol and having a molecular weight of about 1100 to 4800, said condensation product having the structure:
- HO--(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.x (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub.y (C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.z --H
- where y is an integer from about 30 to 70, and (C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.x+z equals about 5 to 20% of the total weight of the compound, in combination with (2) about 5 to 15% by weight of a foam promoter comprising an amine oxide of the general formula:
- R.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 N.fwdarw.O
- wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group containing from about 10 to 16 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each selected from the group consisting of methyl and ethyl groups.
- 2. An aqueous hair shampoo composition as described in claim 1 in which y is an integer from about 40 to 60.
- 3. An aqueous hair shampoo composition as described in claim 1 in which (C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.x+z equals about 7 to 13% of the total weight of the compound.
- 4. An aqueous hair shampoo composition as described in claim 1 in which said condensation product of ethylene oxide with a base formed by condensing propylene oxide with propylene glycol has been reacted with 0.5 to 2.0 moles of sulfating agent per mole of condensation product.
- 5. An aqueous hair shampoo composition as described in claims 1, 2, 3, or 4 in which said amine oxide is dodecyldimethylamine oxide.
