A core-shell microcapsule comprising a core containing a functional ingredient and a shell surrounding or at least partially surrounding said core, the shell comprising a thermosetting resin formed by the reaction of shell-forming monomers comprising a polyamine and a material comprising a plurality of olefinic double bonds capable of reacting with the polyamine.

The invention relates to stable, anhydrous concentrated cleanser formulations.

Described herein are hard-surface cleaning compositions comprising: an alkyl polyglycoside; an organic solvent comprising a diol having the formula: C.sub.nH.sub.2n(OH).sub.2, wherein n=3 to 10 and mixtures thereof; an alpha hydroxy acid; and a humectant. Methods of making and using these hard-surface cleaning compositions are also described herein.

A method of depositing bacterial spores on a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric, includes contacting the fabric with an aqueous liquor comprising at least 1×10.sup.2 CFU/l of the aqueous liquor, of bacterial spores wherein the aqueous liquor is substantially free of fabric conditioning agent.

A method of facilitating stain removal from a fabric including treating the fabric directly with bacterial spores prior to a laundry process; and subsequently subjecting the fabric to a laundry process.

The present specification discloses compositions comprising one or more encapsulates comprising one or more agents and methods and uses for the disclosed agents. A composition disclosed herein can be incorporated into a body wash, an after shower body lotion, a shampoo, a conditioner, a soap, a gel, a hand sanitizer, a cream, a spray, a mouse, a lotion, an ointment, a make-up product, a lip balm, a hair spray product, an arachnid/insect repellent or a medicinal product.

A method of forming a gel or gel-like detergent composition comprising: dosing a solid composition, and dosing a liquid composition; into a water-soluble container.

Evaporation of water from an aqueous dispersion of a solid peroxide such as benzoyl peroxide is retarded by the incorporation of carboxylic acid salt. The carboxylic acid salt renders the aqueous dispersion less susceptible to explosive decomposition when exposed to external triggering events such as impact, heat, friction or contamination, yet does not interfere with the ability to achieve and maintain a stable, small particle size dispersion having desirable viscosity and flow properties.

A nonflammable aerosol cleaning composition is formulated with trans 1,2 dichloroethylene, 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane, 1,1,1,3,3 pentafluoropropane, HFC-134a, and carbon dioxide. The aerosol cleaning composition is formulated for heavy duty, high pressure, and high output cleaning applications for cleaning aviation parts, such as jet engines located about 10 feet away from a user.

Fabric treatment compositions that include benefit agent capsules and biphenyl brightener. Methods of using the same. Wash water that includes such compositions.
