Abstract

Provided are an internal olefin sulfonate composition which is capable of sufficiently enhancing foamability, foam dissipation property free from a slimy feeling during rinsing, and a feel after cleansing and subsequent drying, and a cleansing composition containing the same.
The internal olefin sulfonate composition comprises (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) an internal olefin sulfonate having 12 carbon atoms, in which a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A/B), is from 10/90 to 90/10.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cleansing composition comprising a mixture of internal olefin sulfonates comprising:
(A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms, and
(B) an internal olefin sulfonate having 12 carbon atoms,
wherein a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B) of the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates, (A/B), is from 10/90 to 75/25,
wherein the foam dissipation property of the cleansing composition comprising the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates is better than if the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates was replaced with alkyl polyoxyethylene sulfate.

2. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of (A) the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) the internal olefin sulfonate having 12 carbon atoms in the internal olefin sulfonate composition is from 50 to 100% by mass of the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates.

3. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the internal olefin sulfonate in which a sulfonate group is present at a C-2 position in the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 and 12 carbon atoms is 25% by mass or less of the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates.

4. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a mass ratio of a content of a hydroxy form in the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 and 12 carbon atoms to a content of an olefin form in the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 and 12 carbon atoms, (hydroxy form/olefin form), is from 50/50 to 100/0.

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

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

7. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates is obtained by sulfonating a raw material internal olefin composition containing a raw material internal olefin, followed by neutralization and then hydrolysis, with a content of the raw material internal olefin in which a double bond is present at a C-2 position being from 15 to 45% by mass.

8. The cleansing composition according to claim 7 , wherein a content of the raw material internal olefin in which a double bond is present at a C-2 position in the raw material internal olefin composition is from 15 to 35% by mass.

9. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A/B), in the internal olefin sulfonate composition is from 10/90 to 15/85.

10. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A/B), in the internal olefin sulfonate composition is from 40/60 to 60/40.

11. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of (A) the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) the internal olefin sulfonate having 12 carbon atoms is from 0.1 to 80% by mass with respect to the cleansing composition.

12. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of an alkyl sulfate and an alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfate.
