Embodiments described herein relate generally to apparatus, methods and systems for low energy processing of consumer personal hygiene products (PHPs) and formulations of the same. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a consumer PHP comprises combining a first material and second material at room temperature to form a first mixture, mixing the first mixture at room temperature, adding a third material at room temperature to form a second mixture; mixing the second mixture at room temperature, adding a fourth material at room temperature to form a third mixture; and mixing the third mixture at room temperature. In some embodiments, the third material and the fourth material can be mixed to form the second mixture and the first mixture and second mixture can be combined to form the third mixture. In some embodiments, the mixing can be accomplished using a propeller mixer. In some embodiments, the propeller mixer can be rotated at a speed of greater than about 200 rpm during at least one of the mixing steps. In some embodiments, the pH of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 4.5 and about 6.5 using an acidifier. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 100 cP and about 25,000 cP using a thickener.

Solid concentrated compositions of foaming cleansers, methods for preparing such solid concentrated compositions, and methods for forming liquid cleansing solutions from such solid concentrated compositions are provided. An exemplary solid concentrated composition includes a surfactant and a dissolution promotion agent, wherein the composition is anhydrous, and wherein the composition is substantially free of sulfates.

The present invention relates to a hair cosmetic composition, especially for washing and/or conditioning hair, comprising surfactants and an oil-in-water emulsion that comprises: a silicone mixture comprising a trialkylsilyl terminated dialkylpolysiloxane and an amino silicone; a mixture of emulsifiers comprising one or more nonionic emulsifier, wherein the mixture of emulsifiers has a HLB value from 10 to 16; and water. The invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of hair, preferably for washing and/or conditioning hair, using this composition.

Provided is a sulfate-free surfactant system which is particularly suitable for use in personal hygiene products.
