Abstract

Liquid detergent compositions suitable for laundry use consist essentially of water, Electrolyte, Active Ingredient and preferably a Builder. They comprise a space-filling, floc-like aggregate of surfactant containing spherulites, substantially cocontinuous with an aqueous liquid micellar solution. They are shear thinning, mobile, stable to shear stress, storage under extreme climatic conditions and high pH.
