Single compartment water-soluble refill dose articles having a water-soluble film enclosing a liquid concentrated cleanser composition, methods of making the same, and kits are disclosed. The liquid concentrated cleanser composition includes a mixture of a rheology modifier, a first surfactant, a stabilizing amount of a first alkaline substance, a viscosity increasing amount of an additional alkaline substance that interacts with the rheology modifier, when diluted with water to form a cleanser, to increase the viscosity, and about 10% or less wt/wt water and about 20% or less by wt/wt glycol. The first alkaline substance is an ethoxylated amine and prevents the viscosity increasing amount of additional alkaline substance from reacting with the rheology modifier before water dissolves the water-soluble film. When dissolved in water at a 1:1 to 1:20 ratio, a cleanser has a viscosity within a range of 2000 cps to 50,000 cps is formed.

An in-vitro opacified and structured detergent composition includes a surfactant component present in an amount of about 7 to about 50 weight percent actives and including (1) an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C.sub.8-C.sub.20 backbone that is ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, (2) at least one non-ionic surfactant comprising an alkoxylated alcohol, and (3) at least one anionic surfactant comprising a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 30 to about 90 weight percent, free fatty acids in a total amount from about 1 to 15 weight percent, a magnesium cation in a total amount of from 0.05 to 1 weight percent, and colloidal particles such as encapsulated fragrances. The composition has a yield point value of at least 0.075 Pa at 20° C.

The present invention relates to fabric softener active compositions comprising a combination of a quaternary ester ammonium compound and fatty solvents (a fatty acid ester, a fatty acid, a fatty alcohol and mixtures thereof) and methods of making and using the same.
