Abstract

Provided is an internal olefin sulfonate composition which is capable of exerting good foamability together with good volume of foam, foaming speed, foam dissipation property, foam quality, foam durability in the presence of sebum, and volume of foam in the presence of sebum at high levels, and a cleansing composition containing the same. The internal olefin sulfonate composition of the present invention comprises (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) an internal olefin sulfonate having 18 carbon atoms, wherein a mass content ratio (A/B) of component (A) to component (B) is from 75/25 to 90/10, and wherein a mass ratio (hydroxy form/olefin form) of a content of a hydroxy form in the internal olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) to a content of an olefin form in the internal olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) is from 75/25 to 100/0.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cleansing composition, comprising:
an internal olefin sulfonate composition comprising (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) an internal olefin sulfonate having 18 carbon atoms, wherein a mass content ratio (A/B) of the component (A) to the component (B) contained in the total internal olefin sulfonate composition is from 75/25 to 90/10, and wherein a mass ratio of a content of a hydroxyalkane sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) to a content of an olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) is from 75/25 to 100/0,
wherein a total content of (A) the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) the internal olefin sulfonate having 18 carbon atoms in the internal olefin sulfonate is from 70 to 100% by mass.

2. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of an internal olefin sulfonate in which a sulfonate group is present at a C-2 position in the internal olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) is 28% by mass or less.

3. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of an internal olefin sulfonate in which a sulfonate group is present at a C-2 position in the internal olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) is less than 20% by mass.

4. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of a raw material internal olefin in the internal olefin sulfonate composition is less than 5.0% by mass with respect to the amount of the internal olefin sulfonates.

5. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of inorganic compounds in the internal olefin sulfonate composition is less than 7.5% by mass with respect to the amount of the internal olefin sulfonates.

6. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein the internal olefin sulfonate composition is obtained by sulfonating a raw material internal olefin composition containing a raw material internal olefin, followed by neutralization and then hydrolysis, a content of the raw material internal olefin in which a double bond is present at a C-2 position being 48% by mass or less.

7. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein the internal olefin sulfonate composition is obtained by sulfonating the raw material internal olefin composition containing the raw material internal olefin, followed by neutralization and then hydrolysis, a content of the raw material internal olefin in which a double bond is present at a C-2 position being less than 20% by mass.

8. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the internal olefin sulfonate composition is from 0.1 to 80% by mass.

9. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , further comprising an alkyl sulfate, an alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfate, or mixtures thereof.

10. A method for washing hair, comprising applying the cleansing composition according to claim 1 to hair, followed by washing and then rinsing.

11. A method for washing skin, comprising applying the cleansing composition according to claim 1 to the skin, followed by washing and then rinsing.

12. A method for improving foam durability in the presence of model sebum, comprising applying the cleansing composition according to claim 1 to hair or skin.

13. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 for washing hair.

14. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 for washing skin.

15. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 for improving foam durability in the presence of model sebum on hair or skin.

16. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of an internal olefin sulfonate in which a sulfonate group is present at a C-2 position in the internal olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) is 24% by mass or less.
