Definitions

• This invention relates to a detergent composition, which exhibits a high detergency, good foaming properties, and low irritating properties.
• This invention particularly relates to a detergent composition, which can be stably formulated with a cationic conditioning agent, and which has markedly high rinsing effects and high conditioning effects when it is used for washing hair.
• a detergent which also has conditioning effects.
• many cationic substances have heretofore been known.
• a cationic substance is formulated with a detergent, which contains an anionic surface active agent as the predominant component, a complex of the cationic substance and the anionic surface active agent is formed undesirably. Therefore, it is difficult to formulate the cationic substance with the detergent, which contains an anionic surface active agent as a predominant component, and the problems occur in that, for example, sufficient conditioning effects cannot be obtained.
• a detergent containing, as the predominant component, a nonionic surface active agent which has lower irritating properties than an anionic surface active agent and can be easily formulated with a cationic conditioning agent.
• a detergent containing an alkyl saccharide as a nonionic surface active agent a low-irritating detergent composition, which contains an alkyl saccharide-based nonionic surface active agent and a cationic polymer, has been proposed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication 6-23085.
• a detergent composition which contains alkyl saccharide type nonionic surface active agent, a sucrose fatty acid ester, and an anionic surface active agent, or an amphoteric surface active agent, has been proposed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication 6-23086.
• the alkyl saccharide type nonionic surface active agent is comparatively expensive. Therefore, attempts have also been made in order to formulate a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether type nonionic surface active agent, which is comparatively cheap, with a detergent.
• the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether type nonionic surface active agent has poor foaming properties and has been rarely used for hair detergents. Only a shampoo composition, which contains an amide-amine type amphoteric surface active agent or an alkylolamide type nonionic surface active agent as the predominant component and contains a polyoxyethylene type surface active agent as an auxiliary component, has been proposed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application 55-25436.
