DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS

The invention relates to a detergent composition comprising: from 0.5 to 50 wt. % of a C12-C14, alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant; wherein the alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant comprises a C14 alkyl group at a level of at least 50 wt. % of the alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant; wherein the average degree of ethoxylation (EO) is from 2.5 to 3.5; wherein with reference to the wt. % of the total ethoxylated portion of said alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant, the level of 1EO is from 10 to 25 wt. %, the level of 2EO is from 15 to 24 wt. %, the level of 3EO is from 20 to 35 wt. %, and the level of 4EO is from 12 to 25 wt. %; and, wherein the C12-C14 alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant includes at most 10 wt. % alkyl chains of C15 and higher; the invention also relates to the use and method to enhance the foaming of a detergent composition by inclusion of said specified alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant.
