Claims
- 1. A low eye and skin irritant detergent composition comprising:
- (a) an alkylene oxide adduct of a partial glycerol ester of a C.sub.10 -C.sub.18 fatty acid having a monoglyceride content of from about 15 to 45 wt. % with diglycerides essentially constituting the balance, said adduct prepared by reacting one mole of the partial glycerol ester per 15 to 100 moles of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a molar ratio of 2:1 to 4.5:1, respectively; and
- (b) anionic surface-active agent selected from the group of salt of higher alkyl sulfate or salt of higher alkyl ether sulfate or salt of higher alkyl benzene sulfonate; and
- wherein the weight ratio of (a) to (b) is between about 1:1 and 4:1, respectively.
- 2. A low eye and skin irritant detergent composition comprising:
- (a) an alkylene oxide adduct of a partial glycerol ester of a C.sub.10 -C.sub.18 fatty acid having a monoglyceride content of from about 15 to 45 wt. % with diglycerides essentially constituting the balance, said adduct prepared by reacting one mole of the partial glycerol ester per 15 to 100 moles of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a molar ratio of 2:1 to 4.5:1, respectively;
- (b) anionic surface-active agent selected from the group of salt of higher alkyl sulfate or salt of higher alkyl ether surface or salt of higher alkyl benzene sulfonate; and
- (c) an alkanolamide foam stabilizing agent;
- wherein the weight ratio of (b) to (c) is about 4:1 to 5:1, respectively, and wherein the weight ratio of (a) to (b) is about 2:1 to 5:1, respectively.
- 3. The detergent composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein said anionic surface-active agent is sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, or sodium C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 alkyl benzene sulfonate.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein said partial glycerol ester has a monoglyceride content of about 25 to 35 wt. %.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein said adduct is prepared by reacting about one mole of a partial glycerol ester of coconut oil per about 35 moles of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a molar ratio of about 3:1.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein said adduct is prepared by reacting about one mole of a partial ester of tallow per about 82 moles of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a molar ratio of about 3:1.
- 7. The composition of claim 1 or 2 wherein the molar ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide is about 3:1.
- 8. The composition of claim 1 or 2 being in the form of a dilute aqueous preparation.
