Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a detergent composition,
More specifically, it relates to a detergent composition having excellent detergency, less irritation to the skin and hair, and improved foamability, foam retention, foam quality and usability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, detergent compositions mainly containing anionic surfactants such as shampoos, face soaps and kitchen detergents include higher fatty acid salts, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfates and alkylbenzene sulfonates. It is used. However, the detergents containing these surfactants as the main components are excellent in detergency, but the squeaky feeling at the time of washing, the feeling of tightness after use, and the like are not sufficiently satisfactory, and further the skin and It has a problem of strong irritation to hair.

N-Long-chain acyl acidic amino acid salts and N-long-chain acyl neutral amino acid salts are known as surfactants which are less irritating to the skin and hair and have excellent detergency. A number of studies have been reported on the addition and blending of the above-mentioned detergent composition with the above-mentioned detergent composition (for example, "functional cosmetics" (published by CMC, page 275, 1990), Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 5).
No. 156281). In addition, Japanese Patent Publication Sho 39-2944
No. 4 discloses a mild detergent composition containing 1 to 50% by weight of an N-long-chain acyl threonine salt or an N-long-chain acylalanine salt with respect to a mineral oil type or alcohol-based synthetic detergent. However, there are problems in terms of usability such as foaming, squeaking during cleaning, and feeling after washing.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to have excellent detergency, less irritation to skin and hair, excellent foaming property, and improved foam retention, foam quality and feeling of use. -Providing a detergent composition containing a long-chain acyl threonine salt aims at utilizing N-long-chain acyl threonine salt, which has hitherto been insufficient.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that the N-long chain acyl threonine salt and a polyhydric alcohol are used in combination.
The inventors have found that the above objects can be achieved and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention relates to a detergent composition comprising the following components (A) and (B). (A) N-long chain acyl threonine or a salt thereof (B) One or more polyhydric alcohols

The present invention will be described in detail below. In the component (A) of the detergent composition of the present invention, the long-chain acyl group represents an acyl group derived from a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and examples thereof include lauric acid, myristic acid and palmitic acid. Acyl groups derived from fatty acids of a single composition such as stearic acid and oleic acid can be mentioned. In addition to these, coconut oil fatty acid, beef tallow fatty acid, hardened beef tallow fatty acid, castor oil fatty acid, olive oil fatty acid, palm oil fatty acid and the like can be obtained from nature. The acyl group may be a mixed fatty acid or a fatty acid (including a branched fatty acid) obtained by synthesis.
Preferred specific examples include N-lauroyl threonine,
Examples thereof include N-myristoyl threonine, N-palmitoyl threonine, N-stearoyl threonine, N-oleoyl threonine and N-cocoyl threonine. These N-long chain acyl threonines may be optically active or racemic.

The compounding ratio of the component (B) is usually 99.5 / weight ratio.
0.5-50 / 50, preferably 90 / 10-70 / 3
It is 0. When the content ratio of the component (B) is less than 0.5, the irritation to hair and skin is low and the detergency is excellent, but the squeaky feeling at the time of washing is remarkable and the feeling of being washed up such as loss of smoothness. Is also bad. Further, when it exceeds 90, sliminess occurs during and after washing, the usability is deteriorated, and there is a problem in irritation to hair and skin.

Component (A) in the detergent composition of the present invention
And the total content of the component (B) is 5% by weight or more, preferably 10 to 90% by weight.

By incorporating a higher fatty acid salt as the component (C) into the detergent composition of the present invention, the detergent composition is further excellent in foaming property and has good foam retention, foam quality and feeling of use. A composition is obtained. Here, the higher fatty acid of the higher fatty acid salt (C) is a linear or branched saturated or unsaturated one having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and preferred specific examples thereof include lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid. , Stearic acid, coconut oil fatty acid, hardened beef tallow fatty acid, oleic acid and the like. Examples of the salt include alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium, alkaline earth metal salts such as magnesium and calcium, inorganic base salts such as ammonia, monoethanolamine and diethanolamine,
Triethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-
Examples thereof include propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and the like, and organic base salts such as lysine, ornithine and arginine. You may use these salts in combination of 2 or more types. These may be blended as a fatty acid salt, or a fatty acid and a base may be blended separately to form a fatty acid salt in the composition. The content of the component (C) in the detergent composition of the present invention is (A) / (C) = 9 by weight ratio.
9.5 / 0.5 to 0.5 / 99.5, especially 99/1 to 5
0/50 is preferable.
