An object of the present invention is to provide an aliphatic amine alkylene oxide adduct which has a satisfactory color when used as a detergent, has a sufficiently sharp molecular weight distribution, and is highly pure and less odorous. The present invention is an aliphatic amine alkylene oxide adduct formed by adding m pieces of (A1O) and n pieces of (A2O) [wherein A1O and A2O each independently represent an oxyethylene group and/or an oxypropylene group] to an ethylene oxide 2-mole adduct of a primary amine having a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 4 to 24 carbon atoms, the aliphatic amine alkylene oxide adduct having a color which, as expressed by the Gardener color scale, satisfies the following expression (1) or (2):
In the case where 1 ≤ m+n ≤ 15 Gardner color scale≤0.5×m+n+2-1.5
In the case where 15 < m+n ≤ 100 Gardner color scale≤6
