R1 is a linear or branched C1 to C4 alkyl; and
R2 is a linear or branched C2 to C8 alkyl;
b) di- or tri-esters having the formula R1(C═OOR2)n wherein:
R1 is a saturated or unsaturated C2 to C4 alkyl;
R2 is independently selected from a linear or branched C2 to C8 alkyl; and
n is 2 or 3;
c) benzylbenzoate; and
d) mixtures thereof.

2 . The product according to claim 1 wherein the ester is selected from the group consisting of:
a) monoesters having the formula R1C═OOR2 wherein:
R1 is a linear or branched C2 or C3 alkyl; and
R2 is a linear or branched C3 or C4 alkyl;

b) di- or tri-esters having the formula R1(C═OOR2)n wherein:
R1 is a saturated or unsaturated C2 to C4 alkyl;
R2 is independently selected from a linear or branched C3 or C4 alkyl; and
n is 2;

c) benzylbenzoate; and
d) mixtures thereof.

3 . The product according to claim 1 wherein the esters are selected from the group consisting of:
a) monoesters selected from the group consisting of propylpropionate, isopropylpropionate, butylpropionate, isobutylpropionate, propylbutyrate, isopropylbutyrate, butylbutyrate, isobutylbutyrate, propylisobutyrate, isopropylisobutyrate, butylisobutyrate, isobutylisobutyrate, and mixtures thereof;
b) di- or tri-esters selected from the group consisting of ethyl-, propyl-, isopropyl-, butyl-, isobutyl-di- or tri-esters of succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaconic acid, citric acid, aconitic acid, propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, and mixtures thereof;
c) benzylbenzoate; and
d) mixtures thereof.

4 . The product according to claim 1 wherein the ester comprises n-propyl acetate, n-amyl acetate, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, n-butyl propionate, isobutyl isobutyrate, diisobutyl adipate, dibutyl maleate, tri-n-butyl acetyl citrate, benzylbenzoate, or mixtures thereof.

5 . The product according to claim 1 wherein the composition has a pH greater than 5 as measured at 10% solution in distilled water at 20° C.

6 . The product according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant system and the ester are in a weight ratio of from about 5:1 to about 1:5.

7 . The product according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant system comprises an anionic surfactant and at least one further surfactant.

8 . The product according to claim 7 wherein the anionic surfactant comprises a sulfate surfactant selected from the group of alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactants, branched short chain alkyl sulphate surfactants, and mixtures thereof.

9 . The product according to claim 8 wherein the anionic surfactant comprises the alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactants comprising alkyl ethoxylate sulfates having an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 2 to about 5, the branched short chain alkyl sulphate surfactants comprising branched hexyl sulphate or mixtures thereof.

10 . The product according to claim 9 wherein the anionic surfactant comprises the alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactants comprising alkyl ethoxylate sulfates having an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 3.

11 . The product according to claim 7 wherein the anionic surfactant comprises an alkyl sulfosuccinate.

12 . The product according to claim 11 wherein the alkyl sulfosuccinate is 2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate.

13 . The product according to claim 7 wherein the anionic surfactant and the at least one further surfactant are present in a weight ratio of about 5:1 to about 1:5 and wherein the at least one further surfactant is selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactant, zwitteronic surfactant and mixtures thereof.
