The invention relates to aqueous surfactant compositions comprising one or more alpha-sulfo fatty acid disalts (A) of the general formula (I): R1CH(SO<；sb />；M1)COOM3 wherein the radical R1 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical with 6 to 18 carbon atoms and the radicals M1 and M2 – independently of one another – are selected from the groups H, Li, Na, K, Ca/2, Mg/2, ammonium and alkanolamines, one or more N-acyl-glutamic acid compounds (B) of the general formula (ll): M3OOC-CH2-CH2-CH(NH-CO-R2-COOM4 (II) wherein the radical R2is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical with 7 to 19 carbon atoms and the radical M3 and M4 -independently of one another - are selected from the groups H, Li, Na, K, Ca/2, Mg/2, ammonium and alkanolamines, water and water, where specific limiting conditions are to be observed. These compositions are transparent, storage-stable, are characterized by good foaming ability and are suitable for cosmetic products and also detergents and cleaners.
