PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal olefin sulfonate composition which is capable of exerting good foamability, good volume of foam, rapidly foaming properties, foam cutting properties, foam quality, retentivity of foam in the presence of sebum, and volume of foam in the presence of sebum at high levels, and to provide a detergent composition containing the same.SOLUTION: There is provided an internal olefin sulfonate composition which comprises (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 16 carbon atoms and (B) an internal olefin sulfonate having 18 carbon atoms. The mass content ratio (A/B) of the component (A) to the component (B) is 75/25 to 90/10 and the mass ratio (hydroxy form/olefin form) of the content of a hydroxy form in the internal olefin sulfonate of the component (A) and the component (B) to the 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.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】良好な起泡性、泡量、速泡性、泡切れ性、泡質、皮脂存在下での泡の持続性、及び皮脂存在下での泡量をともに高いレベルで発現し得る内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩組成物、及びこれを含有する洗浄剤組成物の提供。【解決手段】(A)炭素数16の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩及び(B)炭素数18の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩を含有し、当該成分(A)と成分(B)の含有質量比(A/B)が75/25~90/10であり、かつ成分(A)及び成分(B)の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩におけるヒドロキシ体の含有量と成分(A)及び成分(B)の内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩におけるオレフィン体の含有量の質量比(ヒドロキシ体/オレフィン体)が75/25~100/0である内部オレフィンスルホン酸塩組成物。【選択図】なし
