Abstract
Abstract 0.2-5% by weight of a succinic acid derivative represented by the formula: ##STR1## is included in the compounding system of a liquid detergent composition containing an anionic surfactant and tertiary amine oxide in combination, but not containing an alkaline builder. Incorporation of such compound improves foamability, detergency and stability at low temperatures of a detergent composition. A liquid detergent composition according to the invention comprises the following ingredients (A), (B) and (C). (A): 10--40% by weight of anionic surface active agent. (B): 0.2--5% by weight of a tertiary amine oxide. (C): 0.2--5% by weight of a specific type of a succinic acid derivative.
