Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a detergent composition, and more particularly, it has a good foaming property during cleaning, has a good foaming property during rinsing, does not cause slimy skin, and is irritating to the skin. The present invention relates to a detergent composition which has a small amount and is excellent in storage stability.

2. Description of the Related Art Cleaning compositions such as kitchen cleaners, hair cleaners and body cleaners generally contain an anionic surfactant as a main component and mainly contain higher fatty acid salts (soaps) and alkyl sulfates. , Sulfonate, etc. are used. However, for example, when soap is used for cleaning the skin, soap scum (higher fatty acid Ca salt) is generated during rinsing and adheres to the skin, so that the lubricity of the skin surface is significantly lowered, and there is a drawback that squeak and tightness occur. there were. Further, when an alkylsulfate or a sulfonate is used for hair washing, it has no squeaky feeling or tightness, but has drawbacks such as poor foam breakage and poor lubricity of hair.

Therefore, for the purpose of improving these drawbacks, attempts have been made to blend various auxiliaries such as oil components such as higher alcohols and co-activators. However, when such auxiliaries are added, cleaning is performed. Since the effect, the foaming power, the feeling of use, etc. are deteriorated, it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently satisfactory cleaning agent because it is easily restricted by prescription.

Further, detergent compositions containing an acylimino dibasic acid type anionic surfactant have been investigated (JP-A-2-84496, JP-A-5-117139, JP-A-6-80987). These cleaning agents
Although the foaming power, the feeling of use, etc. are improved, the acylimino dibasic acid type anionic surfactant used as a cleaning agent is a derivative from iminodiacetic acid, and storage stability is particularly poor at low temperatures. There was a problem.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to have good foaming, foam retention, good foaming during rinsing, no stickiness, low irritation, and low temperature storage stability. Another object is to provide an excellent cleaning composition.
