Cleaning compositions providing improved mush reduction, mildness enhancement or both |
(57) Cleaning compositions are described which provide mush reduction, mildness enhancement
or both. Mush reduction and mildness enhancement is provided through the use of 1-15%
by weight of a compound selected from a group of defined compounds added to compositions
comprising fatty acid soap, detergent and free fatty acid. The mush-reducing agent
also allows the compositions to be processed at low moisture levels.
