Cleaning compositions having an enzyme system, where the enzyme system includes a nuclease enzyme, an extracellular-polymer-degrading enzyme, and a cleaning adjunct. Methods of making and using such cleaning compositions. Use of an extracellular-polymer-degrading enzyme.

Method of cleansing human skin employing an aqueous soap composition comprising of fatty acid soap, at least one silver (I) compound having a silver ion solubility (in water at 25? C.) of at least 1?10.sup.?4 mol/L, and water, which composition provides biocidal activity against Gram positive bacteria in particular S. aureus, in relatively short contact periods.

The present invention relates to a process for making soap bar compositions comprising bar matrix comprising predominantly long chain length soap and interspersed regions comprising predominantly shorter chain soaps. The novel bars of the invention are sufficiently hard to survive large scale manufacturing while simultaneously delivering benefits of significant foam value enhancement, for example, due to delivery of short-chain soaps from concentrated regions. Surprisingly, even when soaps in concentrated regions comprise small percentage of overall soap used, they form observable kappa phase pattern.

The present invention relates to bars comprising soap bar matrix comprising predominantly long chain length soap and regions or domains interspersed within the matrix comprising predominantly shorter chain soaps. The novel bars of the invention are sufficiently hard to survive large scale manufacturing while simultaneously delivering benefits of significant foam value enhancement, for example, due to delivery of short-chain soaps from concentrated regions. Surprisingly, even when soaps in concentrated regions comprise small percentage of overall soap oils or fats used, they form observable kappa phase pattern.

The invention relates to specific ketones of formula (I) which act as photolabile pro-fragrances. The invention also relates to detergents or cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air fresheners including such ketones. The invention further relates to a method for creating a long-lasting fragrance on surfaces and also to a method for creating a long-lasting fragrance in a room using the aforementioned ketones.

Natural soap compositions and methods of manufacturing the same having anti-microbial properties for treating and preventing diaper rash and other microbial infections. The soap compositions may contain one or more fatty acids with carbon length ranging from four (C4) to twenty-two (C22) and/or natural fatty acid mixtures of coconut oil, olive oil, and/or tall oil fatty acids which are saponified with lye. The saponification lye may be sodium or potassium hydroxide. In preferred embodiments, the soap compositions contain at least one of sodium or potassium caprate, sodium or potassium caprylate, or mixtures thereof, especially 55:45% caprylate to caprate. The soap compositions are effective at treating or preventing diaper rashes and other microbial infections associated with Candida albicans (Cayeast), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Psaa Gram negative bacteria), Staphylococcus aureus (Saa Gram positive bacteria), and Aspergillus niger (Ana mold).

The present invention relates to microcapsules formed by interfacial polymerization, which present high deposition properties and which can be advantageously used for example in the perfumery industry. Perfuming compositions and perfumed consumer products comprising these microcapsules are also objects of the invention.

The antiseptic and fragrance-free soap includes about 5% to 30% percent by weight of deionized water, about 3% to 10% by weight of caustic soda, about 25% to 90% by weight of vegetable fat, and about 0.1% to 1% by weight of antibacterial nanoparticles. The vegetable fat can be selected from the group consisting of olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, or a combination thereof. The antibacterial nanoparticles are preferably silver nanoparticles made by any conventional method.
