Composition containing a soluble potassium salt, a sodium alkylsulphonate, a polar surfactant and a carrier, use as a toothpaste, oral rinse, skin detergent, shampoo, hard surface cleaner and a fabric detergent
An aqueous detergent composition comprising an effective amount of a soluble potassium salt, a sodium (C8-C24) alkylsulfate in an amount effective to remove or loosen debris and/or stains from a surface, and a polar surfactant, said polar surfactant comprising a hydrophobic portion selected from the group consisting of a (C6-C30) alkyl group and a polymeric silicone group is disclosed, wherein the molar ratio of the surfactant to the sodium (C8-C24) alkylsulfate is greater than or equal to about 1:1 and wherein the pH of the composition ranges from 5 to 7. A method for inhibiting the formation of a potassium alkylsulfate precipitate in an aqueous detergent composition is also disclosed. (62) Divided out of 514069
