Hand dishwashing liquid detergents contain an anionic surfactant, perhaps an alcohol ether sulfate (or, in Europe, an alkanesulfonate), as major active agent, along with a lower level of an amide or amine oxide type nonionic to improve foaming. Betaines are sometimes used as foam boosters. A hydrotrope such as an alcohol or xylene sulfonate is generally also present. 

These products are marketed under the trade name Hostapur. Hostapur SAS 60, a 60% active paste, is used at low levels in some European liquid hand-dishwashing products.
