A laundry care composition including (i) from 2 to 70 wt % of a surfactant; and (ii) from 0.0001 to 20.0 wt % of a leuco polymer including an alkoxylated polyethyleneimine covalently bound to a leuco moiety. At least a first portion of nitrogen atoms of the alkoxylated polyethyleneimine have covalently bound thereto a leuco moiety. At least a second portion of nitrogen atoms of the alkoxylated polyethyleneimine have covalently bound thereto a moiety selected from the group consisting of oxyalkylene moieties, polyoxyalkylene moieties, and mixtures thereof; and at least a third portion of nitrogen atoms of the alkoxylated polyethyleneimine have covalently bound thereto a moiety selected from the group consisting of an alkylene chain, an alkylene chain having covalently bound thereto a phenyl or naphthyl group, and mixtures thereof. Methods of making the leuco polymer and methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

The invention provides artificial tear compositions, artificial tear-gel compositions, contact lens storage compositions, contact lens treatment compositions, ophthalmological drug vehicle compositions and topical drug vehicle compositions comprising one or more nonionic surfactants with one or more non-Newtonian viscosity enhancing excipients and one or more of a polyol and or an electrolyte and methods of their use.

Compositions comprising a neutral surfactant or a reaction product thereof and a reaction product of a saccharide polymer and a fatty acid may be obtained in the presence of water and a hydroxide base (optionally in the presence of the neutral surfactant), the saccharide polymer comprising a dextran, a dextrin compound, or any combination thereof. The reaction product of the saccharide polymer and the fatty acid may be present at a concentration effective to lower surface tension of the neutral surfactant. Depending on the fatty acid identity, among other factors, the compositions may promote emulsification or de-emulsification. In addition, the compositions may promote foam formation under appropriate conditions. Treatment fluids comprising the compositions, including foamed treatment fluids, may be introduced into a subterranean formation to perform a treatment operation in which fluid emulsification or de-emulsification may occur. The reaction products may be incorporated in soaps and other personal care products.

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a plant or plant part coated with a composition comprising a bacterial spore and a germinative compound. In another aspect the present invention is directed to a method of enhancing the growth of a plant or plant part comprising coating such plant or plant part with such a composition. In yet another aspect, the present invention is directed to a composition comprising a bacterial spore and a germinative compound where such components are maintained in an inactive form. The present invention also relates to use of the compositions in wastewater treatment, environmental remediation, oil recovery, aquaculture systems, and direct fed microbials.

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 use of sugars in a stabilization matrix and solid detergent compositions is disclosed along with methods of making and using the solid detergent compositions.

An aqueous solution contains a nonionic surfactant, a alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy phosphate and an alkyl glucoside selected from a group consisting of alkyl glucosides characterized by the alkyl group having eight or fewer carbons and when the alkyl group has eight carbons it is a branched alkyl having a linear six carbon chain with a two carbon branch, where the aqueous solution is further characterized by containing less than 0.3 weight-percent cumene sulfonic acid or its alkali salt based on total aqueous solution weight and the alkyl glucoside is present at a concentration greater than alkyl glucosides having an alkyl group with more than eight carbons, as well as its uses for increasing the cloud point and decreasing the foaming properties.

Described herein are cleaning compositions comprising fermented fruit solutions and builders, methods for making the same, and methods for using the same. The fermented fruit solutions can contain fruit, sugar and water. The builder can be selected from the group consisting of a non-phosphate builder, such as sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate, boric acid and mixtures thereof. The cleaning compositions can be used to clean articles, launder articles, clean stains from articles, and clean surfaces.

An aqueous composition comprising a blend of surfactants including (a) a mixture of C6 alkyl glucoside, propylheptanol, and ethoxylate, (b) sorbitan monooleate, (c) polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, (d) trietanolamine, and (e) sodium ether sulfate.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for use in descaling applications, particularly industrial cleaning applications, and preferably hard surface cleaning applications. The composition of the present disclosure is an aqueous liquid solution comprising an acidic component, a non-water solvent and a surfactant system. The acidic component of the present disclosure at least comprises one or more alkyl sulfonic acids.
