A cleaning composition comprising a particle said particle comprising: (a) from 30 to 70% by weight thereof of a polymer having a softening point in the range from about 20 C. to about 60 C.; (b) from 20 to 60% by weight thereof of a first material having a BET surface area greater than 100 m2/g and a D50 from about 5 to about 20 m; (c) from 3 wt % to 15% by weight thereof of a second material having a BET surface area from about 0.01 to about 5 m2/g and a D50 from about 30 to about 100 m.

This invention relates to non-bleeding, non-staining occult particles for use in granular or powdered laundry care compositions such as laundry detergents, laundry aids, and fabric care compositions. The occult particles are comprised of a clay carrier and a coloring agent and are characterized as being substantially indiscernible when contained in the laundry care composition.

A fabric care composition including a plurality of particles, wherein each of the particles include a fabric care agent, water, a sugar alcohol polyol, and a modified starch. The modified starch can have a dextrose equivalent from 4 to 20. The fabric care active agent, said water, and said sugar alcohol polyol are dispersed in the modified starch.

This invention relates to non-bleeding, non-staining occult particles for use in granular or powdered laundry care compositions such as laundry detergents, laundry aids, and fabric care compositions. The occult particles are comprised of a clay carrier and a coloring agent and are characterized as being substantially indiscernible when contained in the laundry care composition.

A consumer product composition comprises a non-porous dissolvable solid structure comprising from about 30% to about 95%, by weight of the consumer product composition, of a carrier material, and from about 5% to about 50%, by weight of the consumer product composition, of a hydrophobic conditioning agent disposed within the carrier material of the non-porous dissolvable solid structure. The carrier material comprises a polyethylene glycol material, or mixtures thereof, having a molecular weight of from about 200 to about 50,000. The hydrophobic conditioning agent is selected from the group consisting of silicone materials, organic conditioning oils, hydrocarbon oils, fatty esters, metathesized unsaturated polyol esters, silane-modified oils, and mixtures thereof.

A composition including a plurality of particles, wherein the particles include: about 30% to about 95% by weight of a carrier; about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of a perfume; and about 0.00025% to about 30% by weight of a malodor agent; wherein the malodor agent comprises one or more malodor reduction materials having a Blocker Index of less than 3 or a Blocker Index average of 3 to about 0.001; and wherein each of the particles has a mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

The invention relates to a granulate comprising an inorganic solid carrier with at least one biosurfactant contained thereon, as well as to formulations containing this granulate and to the use of same.

Described are fabric care pellets comprising an amphiphilic polymer, preferably an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, a surfactant, and a filler, wherein the pellet contains 30 wt % to 90 wt % amphiphilic polymer, preferably ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, and methods of making and using the same.

Solid textile- and/or skin-care compositions encompassing a water-soluble particle and a water-insoluble particle that contains a water-insoluble carrier and a textile- and/or skin-care compound. Also, textile-softening washing detergents or cleaning agents encompassing the textile- and/or skin-care composition.
