The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of using such hair care compositions. Such hair care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.

The present invention discloses a hair care composition comprising, based on total composition weight, a) a sum total of from about 0.1% to about 2% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials having a wt % from about 0.0001% to about 2% of one or more of said malodor reduction materials; b) from about 0.01% to about 10% of a scalp active material selected from the group consisting of sulfur and mixtures thereof; c) from about 0.1% to about 40% of a surfactant.

A bacteria formulation includes bacteria including odor neutralizing bacteria configured to oxidize hydrogen sulfide and/or methyl mercaptan and one or more compounds for supporting viability of the bacteria.

The present invention relates to an antiperspirant or deodorant composition comprising: an antiperspirant or deodorant active material; optionally a carrier; and a perfume composition comprising perfume raw materials; characterized in that the perfume raw materials comprises —from 0.01% to 50% by weight of a first group A of perfume raw materials having a Log P≤2.5, and —from 0.01% to 50% by weight of a second group B of perfume raw materials having a Log P≥4 wherein the sum of perfume raw materials of group A and perfume raw materials of group B is greater than 35% by weight based on the total weight of the perfume raw materials.

The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an aqueous antiperspirant composition comprising: (i) nanocrystalline cellulose with a length from 1 run to 300 nm and a diameter from 1 nm to 20 nm; and (ii) a cosmetically acceptable carrier, wherein the ionic strength of the composition is lower than 0.016; wherein said composition is not a pickering emulsion; wherein surface of said nanocrystalline cellulose comprises hydroxyl and sulfate groups, wherein said composition comprises from 1 to 20 wt % of said nanocrystalline cellulose based on total weight of the composition.

The present disclosure relates to the field of antimicrobial compositions. More particularly, it concerns the use of a composition as an antimicrobial agent, the composition comprising ingredients selected from the group consisting of: (i) nona-2,6-dien-1-ol in combination with at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of 3-neopentylpyridine, 2-methylhexan-3-one oxime, terpineol and 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol; (ii) gamma-dodecalactone in combination with at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of 1-Methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)-cyclohexene, 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde, and 1,3-Benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde; (iii) (Z)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol and gamma-dodecalactone; (iv) cis-4(Isopropyl)cyclohexanemethanol and 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde; and (v) 1,3-Benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde and 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde, wherein the ingredients are present in an amount sufficient to provide an antimicrobial effect. The composition and its use for the preparation of antimicrobially active perfuming compositions and consumer products are also objects of the disclosure.
