A cleansing bar composition comprising at least one cleanser chosen from soap and surfactant; taurine, in free or salt form; and one or more hydrophobic stabilizing agents. The hydrophobic stabilizing agent prevents the crystallization of taurine on the surface of the cleansing bar. Also methods of making the cleansing bar to inhibit crystallization of taurine in a cleansing bar.

A fibrous structure with a plurality of fibrous elements and agglomerated particles. The agglomerated particles can be matrix particles containing perfume.

The present invention relates to a surfactant booster for use in high foaming cleaning compositions. In an aspect of the invention, a C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 or C12 linear alcohol in very low amounts is added to increase surface activity, foam and wetting properties of the composition. The alcohol is added in an amount of alcohol to surfactant of about 1:100 to 1:200 and must be linear. In another aspect, the invention relates to novel cleaning compositions such as pot and pan soaking compositions, dishwashing compositions, food and beverage foaming cleaners, vehicle cleaning and the like suitable for use in hard water, which can be solid or liquid. The invention further relates to methods of making these compositions, and to methods employing these compositions.

A foam forming aerosol product including a double structure container having a propellant filling space, two liquid concentrate filling spaces, and a discharging mechanism for simultaneously discharging contents filled in the two liquid concentrate filling spaces. The propellant filling space is filled with a propellant containing a compressed gas. A first liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a first liquid concentrate composition containing 0.5 to 15.0% by mass of an organic acid, and a second liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a second liquid concentrate composition containing 0.5 to 15.0% by mass of a hydrogen carbonate. The first liquid concentrate composition discharged from the first liquid concentrate filling space and the second liquid concentrate composition discharged from the second liquid concentrate filling space are mixed to form a foam. The foam forming aerosol product can be safely used, has an excellent storage stability and is capable of readily forming a foam.

The present invention provides a multi-compartment laundry detergent water-soluble pouch, wherein the pouch comprises a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein the first compartment comprises a benefit delivery composition, wherein the second compartment comprises a detergent ingredient, wherein the benefit delivery composition comprises a lamellar phase composition and a viscous hydrophobic ingredient, wherein the lamellar phase composition comprises a mixture of surfactant and fatty amphiphile in lamellar phase, wherein the viscous hydrophobic ingredient comprises silicone and/or petrolatum.

A lavatory cleansing block including: an alkane sulfonate; a carboxymethylcellulose; a dye; and a hydrophobe; wherein the weight ratio of carboxymethylcellulose to dye in the block is 1.5:1 to 0.8:2 and wherein the block is substantially free of guar gum.

The invention relates to a wetting composition comprising (a) from 20 to less than 50 wt % of one or more C10 to C14 alcohol, (b) 25 to 70 wt % of a surfactant selected from a non-ionic, cationic, anionic and amphoteric surfactant, and (c) from 5 to 50 wt % of a polar component comprising at least one selected from (i) water, and (ii) up to 25 wt % of a water-miscible C1-C3 organic solvent, to methods for using the wetting composition, and products and aqueous compositions containing the wetting composition.

Cleaning compositions that include (a) a glycine betaine ester, (b) an acidifying agent, (c) polysaccharide thickener, and (d) water, are provided. Commonly, the glycine betaine ester may include one or more compounds of formula (I): Me.sub.3N.sup.+—CH.sub.2—C(O)—O—R X.sup.− wherein R is an aliphatic group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms and X″ represents an inorganic or organic anion. Commonly, the composition has a pH of no more than about 4, a viscosity of no more than about 1,500 cP at a shear rate of 10 at 25° C., and/or a viscosity of at least about 250 cP at a shear rate of 50 at 25° C. (where the viscosities are determined with a Brookfield Cone/Plate viscometer). The cleaning composition may exhibit a unique sheer thinning profile, such that the composition thins less after being sprayed onto a surface and thereby providing a longer contact time than conventional cleaning products.

A washing agent portion unit including a) at least one first receiving chamber, b) at least one water-soluble film surrounding this first receiving chamber, and c) at least one first flowable washing agent preparation located in the first receiving chamber, which preparation contains, based on the total weight thereof, i) 40 to 80 wt. % surfactant; ii) 2 to 15 wt. % fatty acid; iii) 0.3 to 8 wt. % of salt of a divalent cation; iv) 8 to 35 wt. % solvent; d) at least one second receiving chamber which is surrounded by a water-soluble film and is filled with a second washing agent preparation which differs from the first flowable washing agent preparation, wherein the first receiving chamber and the second receiving chamber are directly adjacent to one another and separated from one another by a water-soluble film, and washing methods using these washing agent portion units.
