Abstract

Provided are an internal olefin sulfonate composition which is capable of sufficiently enhancing foamability, foam spreadability, and foam dissipation property, 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 14 carbon atoms, wherein a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A/B), is from 10/90 to 70/30, and a content of the internal olefin sulfonate having 18 or more carbon atoms is 5% by mass or less.

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 14 carbon atoms,
wherein a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A/B), is from 10/90 to 70/30, and a content of the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates having 18 or more carbon atoms is 5% by mass or less,
wherein a content of the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates in which a sulfonate group is present at a C-2 position in the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 and 14 carbon atoms is 25% by mass or less.

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 14 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 mass ratio of a content of a hydroxy form in the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 and 14 carbon atoms to a content of an olefin form in the internal olefin sulfonate having 16 and 14 carbon atoms, (hydroxy form/olefin form), is from 50/50 to 100/0.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 40% by mass.

7. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A/B), is from 20/80 to 30/70.

8. 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 14 carbon atoms in the mixture of internal olefin sulfonates is from 90 to 100% by mass.

9. 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 14 carbon atoms is from 0.1 to 80% by mass.

10. 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.
