- 1. A stable acidic microemulsion composition comprising approximately by weight:(a) 0 to 30% of at least one anionic surfactant containing carboxylate, sulfonate or sulfate groups; (b) 0 to 30% of a second surfactant selected from the group consisting of amine oxides and zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; (c) 2 to 30% of a cosurfactant; (d) 0.4% to 10% of a water insoluble perfume, antibacterial agent, allergen agent and/or an insect repellent containing amide linkages; (e) 0 to 18% of at least one dicarboxylic acid; (f) 0 to 1% of phosphoric acid; (g) 0 to 0.2% of an aminoalkylene phosphoric acid; (h) 0 to 15% of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate; (i) 0.1% to 10% of a Lewis base, neutral polymer being complexed with the perfume, antibacterial agent and/or insect repellent containing amide linkages, said Lewis base is selected from the group consisting of an ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone and a polyethylene glycol; and (j) the balance being water, wherein the composition does not contain an N-alkyl aldonamide, a nonionic water-soluble cellulose polymer, a C8-C18 alkylamide C2-C3 alkyl di C1-C2 alkylamine, cyclomethicone, a linear anionic polycarboxylate which is a copolymer of vinyl methyl ether and maleic anhydride, and a mono, di or triester of an ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol having the formula: wherein w equals one to four, B is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a group represented by: wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl group having about 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and alkenyl groups having about 6 to 22 carbon atoms, wherein at least one of the B group is represented by said and R′ is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl groups; x, y and z have a value between 0 to 60, provided that (x+y+z) equals about 2 to about 100, wherein in said Formula a ratio of monoester/diester/triester is 45 to 90/5 to 40/1 to 20.
- 2. A light duty liquid composition which comprises approximately by weight:(a) 0 to 30% of an anionic surfactant containing carboxylate, sulfate or sulfonate; (b) 0 to 30% of a second surfactant selected from the group consisting of amine oxides and zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; (c) 0.4% to 10% of a perfume, allergen agent and/or antibacterial agent; (d) 0 to 25% of a cosurfactant; (e) 0.1% to 10% of a Lewis base, neutral polymer being complexed with said perfume, allergen agent and/or antibacterial, said Lewis base is selected from the group consisting of an ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone and a polyethylene glycol; and (f) the balance being water, wherein the composition does not contain an N-alkyl aldonamide, a nonionic water-soluble cellulose polymer, a C8-C18 alkylamide C2-C3 alkyl di C1-C2 alkylamine, cyclomethicone, a linear anionic polycarboxylate which is a copolymer of vinyl methyl ether and maleic anhydride, and a mono, di or triester of an ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol having the formula: wherein w equals one to four, B is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a group represented by: wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl group having about 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and alkenyl groups having about 6 to 22 carbon atoms, wherein at least one of the B group is represented by said and R′ is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl groups; x, y and z have a value between 0 to 60, provided that (x+y+z) equals about 2 to about 100, wherein in said Formula a ratio of monoester/diester/triester is 45 to 90/5 to 40/1 to 20.
- 3. The composition of claim 2, wherein the cosurfactant is a glycol ether.
