The subject invention involves detergent compositions comprising, by weight: (a) from about 10 % to about 40 % anionic surfactant comprising one or more anionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of about C10-C14 linear or branched alkylbenzene sulfonate and about C10-C18 alkyl sulfate; (b) from about 3 % to about 30 % nonionic polymeric mildness aid material comprising nonionic homopolymers of ethylene oxide, or nonionic copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide having a HLB of greater than about 18; (c) from about 1 % to about 15 % mild non-anionic lather builder having the structure RX, wherein R is a hydrophobic group having from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms, the group being selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkyl aryl, and aryl alkyl, and wherein X is a non-polymeric moiety comprising at least one oxygen or nitrogen atom. |
