Abstract
Compositions used for cleansing hair and skin based on the combination of an ethoxy sulfosuccinate surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant are described that are very mild but do not compromise in-use properties and economy. It has been found desirable to utilize a mixture of a Mid-Chain alkyl ethoxy sulfosuccinate and a Long-Chain alkyl ethoxy sulfosuccinate wherein the Long-Chain component is present in the composition at a level from about 0.1% to about 6% based on the total weight of the Mid-Chain component.
