PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skin detergent composition, which has an excellent foam retention property and hardly defoams during washing, which gives a sufficient actual feeling of washing, and which is not slimy during rinsing but gives a refreshed feeling of use.SOLUTION: The skin detergent composition comprises: (A) 0.1 to 30 mass% of an alkylether carboxylic acid or its salt expressed by general formula (1) (in the formula, R1 represents a 4-22C alkyl group n represents a number of 0 to 20 and M represents a hydrogen atom, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or organic ammonium), in which an average number of carbon atoms in R1 is 10.8 to 12.8, while a component with n=0 is included by more than 9.6 mass% and 27 mass% or less, and components with n=1 and n=2 are included, in total, by 21 mass% or more and less than 40 mass% (B) 0.01 to 5 mass% of a water-soluble polyvalent metal salt and (C) water.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】泡持ちに優れ、洗浄中に泡が消えにくく、高い洗浄実感が得られるとともに、すすぎ時にぬるつかず、さっぱりした使用感が得られる皮膚洗浄剤組成物を提供する。【解決手段】(A)一般式(1)【化1】(式中、R1は炭素数4~22のアルキル基を示し、nは0~20の数を示し、Mは水素原子、アルカリ金属、アルカリ土類金属、アンモニウム又は有機アンモニウムを示す)で表されるアルキルエーテルカルボン酸又はその塩であって、R1の平均炭素数が10.8~12.8であり、n=0の成分を9.6質量%を超え27質量%以下、n=1の成分とn=2の成分を合計で21質量%以上40質量%未満含むアルキルエーテルカルボン酸又はその塩 0.1~30質量%、(B)水溶性多価金属塩 0.01~5質量%、(C)水を含有する皮膚洗浄剤組成物。【選択図】なし
