A liquid surfactant composition can include a C-Calkylbenzene sulfonate, a nonionic surfactant, and an anionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant can include a first alcohol ether sulfate (AES) surfactant and a second AES surfactant. The first AES surfactant can have a molecular formula of R&#x2014;O&#x2014;(CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O)&#x2014;SOM, wherein Rrepresents a C-Calkyl group, m represents a number from 6 to 8, and M represents a monovalent cation. The second AES surfactant can have a molecular formula of R&#x2014;O&#x2014;(CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O)&#x2014;SOM', wherein Rrepresents a C-Calkyl group, n is 2 or 3, and M&#x2032; represents a monovalent cation. The first AES surfactant and the second AES surfactant can be present in the liquid surfactant composition at a weight ratio to provide the liquid surfactant composition with a fresh viscosity from about 350 centipoise (cPS) to about 550 cps.

Liquid surfactant compositions and associated methods

A liquid surfactant composition can include a C-Calkylbenzene sulfonate, a first alcohol ether sulfate (AES), and a nonionic surfactant. The first AES surfactant can have a molecular formula of R&#x2014;O&#x2014;(CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O)&#x2014;SOM, wherein Rrepresents a C-Calkyl group, m represents a number from 6 to 8, and M represents a monovalent cation. The first AES surfactant can be a modified oxo-alcohol-based surfactant.

Methods and apparatus are provided for containing and dispensing a particulate detergent composition. The apparatus includes a transparent container. The transparent container holds a solid state particulate detergent composition. The apparatus also includes a solid state particulate detergent composition. The solid state particulate detergent composition includes a number of surfactants.

Solid state detergent in a transparent container

A laundry detergent for enhancing fabric whiteness comprising at least an alkyl ethoxysulfate having an alkyl chain length of 12-18 carbons and 5-9 moles of ethylene oxide. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the composition further includes an alcohol ethoxylate having an alkyl chain length of 12-18 carbons and 5-9 moles of ethylene oxide.

Detergent composition with enhanced whitening power

Liquid laundry detergent compositions are provided that show remarkable performance even though they utilize only eco-friendly ingredients and have a sustainability index of greater than 3. Some embodiments include a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising alkyl polyglycoside (APG) with fatty alcohol sulfate, at least two detersive enzymes, an enzyme stabilization system (e.g. borate and/or citrate and/or calcium salts), d-limonene or other natural essence, water and adjuvant. In another exemplary embodiment, APG is combined with fatty acid soaps, at least two detersive enzymes, an enzyme stabilization system (e.g. borate and/or citrate and/or calcium salts), d-limonene or other natural essence, water and adjuvant. Such compositions show remarkable performance, good viscosity, physical storage stability, enzyme stability, and have a sustainability index of greater than 3.

Low carbon footprint compositions for use in laundry applications

A unique eco-friendly liquid laundry detergent enhanced with natural essence and further comprising non-petroleum source anionic and nonionic surfactants, naturally occurring builders, and optional enzymes, to yield remarkably effective yet environmentally responsible detergents.
