The invention provides a detergent composition which contains components (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), wherein (A) is C12-C22 fatty acids or salts thereof, (B) is an anionic surfactant with carboxylic acid or salts thereof on the hydrophilic group other than the component (A), (C) is an amphoteric surfactant, (D) is polyalcohol with the IOB value of 0.8-4 or a mixture of polyalcohol with the IOB value of 0.8-4 and C3 below monobasic alcohol, and (E) is water. On the basis of reduced mass of acid, the sum of the component (A) and component (B) ((A)+(B)) is 35-60 wt%, the mass ratio of the component (B) to the sum of the component (A) and component (B) ((B)/[(A)+(B)]) is 0.06-0.65%, the content of the component (C) is 1.5-15 wt%, and the content of the component (D) is 6-18 wt%.
