The present invention is in the field of washing and cleaning agents and relates to a fragranced shaped body, including a composition obtained by bringing the following components into contact: (a) at least one gelling agent having a molar mass of <2000 g/mol and (b) at least one fragrance. The invention also relates to a washing or cleaning agent, including the fragranced shaped body according to the invention, a method for producing the fragranced shaped body according to the invention and the use of the fragranced shaped body according to the invention for fragrancing surfaces.

The present invention relates to a homecare product composition or a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of an effective amount of 1,2-nonanediol or 2,3-nonanediol or a mixture comprising 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol or of a specific alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms or a mixture of two or more different specific alkanediols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms, in combination with an effective amount of at least one cooling agent. Additionally, the present invention relates to the use of 1,2-nonanediol or 2,3-nonanediol or a mixture comprising 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol or the use of a specific alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms or a mixture of two or more different specific alkanediols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms for malodour reduction or for inhibiting malodour development or for body odour control or for masking insect alluring odours. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cosmetic product comprising a cosmetic composition of the present invention. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of 1,2-nonanediol and/or 2,3-nonanediol or of a specific alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms or a mixture of two or more different specific alkanediols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms for preparing a cosmetic product of the present invention or a homecare product.

Surface-active compositions with supramolecular structures for industrial, household, agricultural, and oil and gas use include a surfactant, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the surfactant, and a solvent. The surface-active compositions optionally can be substantially free of yeast, or protein extracted from yeast. Methods of increasing wettability of a surface and increasing dispersibility in a fluid by using the surface-active compositions are also described.
