| abstract |
Compositions are described containing a) one or more sugar amines of the formula (I) wherein R 1 and R 2 independently of one another are H, CH 3 or 2-hydroxyethyl and / or one or more corresponding protonated sugar amines with the counterion R-COO - , in which R has the meaning of R from the substances of component b) below, and b) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of fatty acids of the formula R-COOH, fatty acid salts of the formula R-COO - M + and mixtures thereof, wherein R is a linear or branched saturated alkyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms or a linear or branched mono- or polyunsaturated alkenyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms, and M + is a counterion. For example, the compositions described are very advantageously suitable for the production of liquid detergents and shower baths, liquid soaps or facial cleansers. In addition, the sugar amines are advantageously suitable as neutralizing agents for fatty acids. |
