[0142] Procedure [0143] Phase A: The sucrose laurate is dissolved in the propylene glycol and the glycerin while stirring at slow speed with a deflocculating paddle. [0144] Phase B: At the same time, the powders are mixed with the sodium lauroyl glutamate while stirring with a mixer for approximately two minutes. [0145] Phase A is added to phase B while continuing to stir using a stirrer or mixer.

[0146] The above composition mixes well with water and exhibits good foaming properties.
