PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide body detergent compositions by which good foaming is obtained even when using hard water, the compositions reducing a tight feeling after washing, and giving smoothness to the skin.SOLUTION: A body detergent composition contains a component (a): 0.1-20 mass% of a surfactant represented by formula (1), and a component (b): 10-50 mass% of C8-22 fatty acid salts, wherein the mass ratio (a)/(b) is 0.01-0.8. (R1CO is C8-22 aliphatic acyl group R2 is a single bond or C1-4 straight chain or branched chain alkylene group R3 is a C1-4 straight chain/branched chain alkylene group and M1 is an alkali metal atom or alkanolamine.)SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】硬水使用時においても良好な泡立ちが得られ、洗い上がりにつっぱり感を抑制し肌になめらかにする身体洗浄剤組成物の提供。【解決手段】(a)成分:式(1)で表される界面活性剤を0.1~20質量%、(b)成分:C8~22の脂肪酸塩を10~50質量%含有し、(a)/(b)(質量比)が0.01~0.8である身体洗浄剤組成物。(R1COはC8~22の脂肪族アシル基;R2は単結合又はC1~4の直鎖或いは分岐鎖のアルキレン基;R3はC1~4の直鎖/分岐鎖のアルキレン基;M1はアルカリ金属原子又はアルカノールアミン)【選択図】なし
