The present disclosure relates to gentle cleanser compositions, which generally include: (a) a taurate surfactant; (b) salicylic acid; (c) kaolin; d) a betaine (and/or another amphoteric surfactant) and e) an emollient. The cleanser compositions exhibit very good cleansing properties, are particularly effective for removing makeup, and are mild and moisturizing to the skin, with a good deposition of salicylic acid.

An organoclay composition which is a mineral clay or mineral clay mixture that has been treated with at least organic quaternary ammonium compound and a synergist comprising (i) an amine salt of a trimer acid, and (ii) an amine salt of a monocarboxylic fatty acid. The monocarboxylic fatty acid may be (a) at least one saturated carboxylic acid; and/or (b) at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid.

This invention relates to non-bleeding, non-staining occult particles for use in granular or powdered laundry care compositions such as laundry detergents, laundry aids, and fabric care compositions. The occult particles are comprised of a clay carrier and a coloring agent and are characterized as being substantially indiscernible when contained in the laundry care composition.

A method for forming an object includes steps of forming a non-woven mat from one or more strands of meltable material and subsequently forming discrete units from the non-woven mat where portions of the surface of the formed discrete units are locally densified.

This invention relates to non-bleeding, non-staining occult particles for use in granular or powdered laundry care compositions such as laundry detergents, laundry aids, and fabric care compositions. The occult particles are comprised of a clay carrier and a coloring agent and are characterized as being substantially indiscernible when contained in the laundry care composition.

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 washing composition comprising a powder of which surface is hydrophobic, and more specifically, relates to a washing composition comprising a powder in which an alkyl group of a surfactant attached to the surface thereof is oriented towards an outermost shell, thereby the surface of the powder being hydrophobically modified.

The present invention discloses a three-phase heavy-duty laundry detergent wipe, a system comprising a three-phase heavy-duty laundry detergent wipe and a moistening device for manufacturing same and a method for manufacturing a three-phase heavy-duty laundry detergent wipe, wherein a dispersion (3) is applied to carrier material (4) which is solid at ambient temperature, characterized by the following steps: (a) providing a liquid laundry detergent lotion (1) with exothermically saponified components and a water content of 10-30 weight %; (b) adding solid additives (2) to the liquid laundry detergent lotion (1) using a disperser such that the dispersion (3)is created with a solid content of 1-10 weight %; (c) applying the dispersion to the carrier material (4) with a moistening device (5) such that the carrier material (4) statistically fixes the dispersion (3); wherein steps (a)-(c) are performed at ambient temperature and wherein the ratio between the average particle size of the solid additives (2) and the diameter and gap width, resp., of the openings of the moistening device (5) ranges between 5*10.sup.4:1 and 15*10.sup.4:1.

The present invention provides a beneficial composition comprising (a) an encapsulated benefit agent composition comprising: a core comprising at least one benefit agent, and a water-insoluble shell; and (b) a suspension medium comprising: at least one suspending polymer, and at least one clay. The present invention also provides methods of using such a beneficial composition. In addition, the present invention provides methods of making a beneficial composition comprising: (a) providing an encapsulated benefit agent composition comprising a core comprising at least one benefit agent and a water-insoluble shell; (b) providing a suspension medium comprising at least one suspending polymer and at least one clay; (c) adding the encapsulated benefit agent composition to the suspension medium; and (d) mixing the suspension medium and the encapsulated benefit agent composition to form a substantially uniform aqueous suspension.

The present invention provides a water-soluble package comprising a water-soluble substrate and a powder coating on an exterior surface of the water-soluble substrate, wherein the water-soluble substrate encloses a composition and the powder coating includes a powdered bittering agent, a method of making such water-soluble packages and their use, in particular for washing dishes or laundering textiles.
