Provided herein are solid salt base or sugar base compositions for delivering encapsulated fragrance to textiles, and processes of making and using the compositions for treating textiles. It has been discovered that, during the manufacturing process, premixing a silicon compound and a salt base or sugar base before incorporating an encapsulated fragrance slurry to the salt base or sugar base significantly decreases the encapsulate breakage rate of the solid compositions. Solid encapsulated fragrance compositions prepared by the process allows consumers to experience a long-lasting freshness of their clothes after treating their clothes with the encapsulated fragrance compositions.

Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion compositions having freeze-thaw stability are provided which include water, at least one hydrocarbon solvent, at least one nonionic emulsifier, and at least one freeze-thaw stabilizer which either prevents breaking of the emulsion after a freeze-thaw cycle or enables the emulsion to be re-formed following breaking after a freeze-thaw cycle by simple shaking of the emulsion composition. Preferred freeze-thaw stabilizers are polyols (e.g., glycerin), sugars (e.g., sucrose), polar aprotic solvents (e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide) and amphoteric compounds (e.g., lauryl dimethyl amine oxide). The freeze-thaw stabilizers are particularly useful in furniture care, shoe care and auto care cleaning and/or polishing products including therein water, hydrocarbon solvent(s), nonionic emulsifier(s) and additives, such as film former(s), surfactant(s), fragrance component(s) and preservative(s).

Provided herein are detergent formulations which can effectively suppress efflorescence in unit dose detergent packs. In accordance with one embodiment, the detergent formulations comprise an alkyl ethoxysulfate component having an alkyl chain length of about 12-18 carbon atoms and about 2-9 moles of ethylene oxide and a cation, an alcohol ethoxylate component having an alkyl chain length of about 12-18 carbon atoms and about 5-9 moles of ethylene oxide, high fructose corn syrup, and a liquid carrier.

The present invention relates to an ophthalmic solution comprising 0.00001 to 10.0 weight percent of a simple saccharide, at least 0.00001 weight percent of a preservative, and not more than about 0.2 percent by weight chloride. The simple saccharide is chosen from the group consisting of: inositol; mannitol; sorbitol; sucrose; dextrose; glycerin; propylene glycol; ribose; triose; tetrose; erythrose; threose; pentose; arabinose; ribulose; xylose; xylulose; lyxose; hexose; allose; altrose; fructose; galactose; glucose; gulose; idose; mannose; sorbose; talose; tagatose; adlose; ketose; heptose; sedoheptulose; monosaccharides; disaccharides; sugar alcohols; xylitol; and polyol.

The invention relates to dyed particles of a bleach material that comprise a coating. The invention also relates to the use of the dyed particles in detergent compositions.

A laundry additive composition comprising a) at least one oxylated material chosen from polyoxyalkylene, a polyoxyalkylene fatty acid ester, and a polyoxyalkylene fatty alcohol ether; b) a polyol; c) a coloring agent; and d) at least one additive chosen from fragrance and a fabric treatment material. The composition can deliver the additive to clothing during washing or rinsing of the clothes, such as to impart a fragrance to clothing.

The present invention relates to a detergent tablet, in particular, it relates to a detergent tablet for providing a liquid cleaning composition on dissolution in water. It discloses a unit dose tablet comprising at least 10% by weight surfactant; and a dissolving aid selected from hydrated monosaccharides, hydrated disaccharides, hydrated oligosaccharides and combinations thereof, wherein the ratio of the surfactant to the dissolving aid is at least 1:1.5 by weight. It further discloses a process for forming a liquid cleaning composition comprising the steps of providing water in a container, adding said tablet into the water, wherein the ratio of tablet to water is in the range from 1:5 to 1:100 by weight.

The present invention relates to a novel process for preparing compositions comprising alkyl(alkyl-glucoside)uronates, from biobased or biocompatible/biodegradable raw materials, and also salts and acids thereof.

An oxygen-based cleaning composition, comprises a cleaning formulation in powder form, wherein the cleaning formulation includes a hydrogen peroxide addition compound layer comprising a hydrogen peroxide addition compound powder for producing hydrogen peroxide, a surfactant layer formed by coating an outer surface of the hydrogen peroxide addition compound layer with a liquid surfactant, and a saponin layer formed by coating an outer surface of the surfactant layer with a saponin powder.

The need for a method of cleaning household surfaces which results in less grease residues on the surface, and improved surface shine is met by cleaning the household surface using an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition which comprises specific amines.
