The present invention relates to a cleaning or soap product, in particular personal care product, in particular hand washing soap, comprising a first chemical and/or mechanical mechanism for generating a first color transition of the cleaning or soap product, and a second chemical and/or mechanical mechanism for generating a second color transition. Numerous embodiments and chemical-technical variants of the invention are disclosed.

A liquid hand dishwashing detergent composition containing a cationically modified inulin compound, methods of making the liquid hand dishwashing detergent compositions, and methods of using said liquid hand dishwashing detergent compositions, which provide improved rinsing, solution feel, and finished product viscosity control.

Disclosed are multi-staged acrylic emulsion polymers and their use as rheology modifiers in the formulation of liquid personal care cleansers for the skin and hair. More particularly, the present technology relates to liquid cleansing compositions that possess the necessary rheology properties to stably suspend particles and insoluble materials within the cleanser but may also be used with pump dispensers to generate and dispense a creamy foam without fouling the pump mechanism.

The present invention relates to variants of a parent lipase which has lipase activity and comprise one or more substitutions corresponding to G23S, D27N, A40I, F51I,L, E56R, D57N, V60E,K, K98I, N101D, R118F, G163S, T231R, N233R, Y220F, T244E, and P256T using SEQ ID NO: 2 for numbering. The present invention also relates to compositions or microcapsule compositions comprising a lipase variant of the invention and to liquid products comprising a microcapsule composition of the invention as well as the use of said microcapsule composition for stabilizing lipase variants of the invention.

Provided among other things is a cleaning composition comprising: a carrier fluid; and Minute Fibrils suspended in the carrier fluid, wherein the composition is protein cleaning effective.

A method of making an opacified liquid detergent composition is disclosed. The method includes the steps of combining at least one anionic surfactant, a fatty acid, and water to form a mixture having a transparent optical appearance, then adding divalent cations to the mixture, and opacifying the mixture as the divalent cations interact with the fatty acid to form the opacified liquid detergent composition in the absence of a microplastic opacifier. The opacified liquid detergent composition having a turbidity value of greater than about 250 turbidity units (NTUs) measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C.

A suspension medium for improved grit delivery in vapor blast operations sets forth addition of a suspending-agent to a blast solution whereby solids are maintained in suspension absent agitation or mixing for at least 60 hours. The suspending agent increases the viscosity and/or density of the blast solution to increase the buoyancy force and/or acts as a dispersant and/or surfactant to maintain suspension of solids in solution over the extended time period. Different concentrations of suspending-agent may be employed with different grit and solid sized particles, depending on the application of vapor blasting at hand. The suspending-agent is preferably biodegradable.

A hard surface cleaning composition is provided, including: carbon dioxide; an ionic acrylic based rheology modifier comprising at least one of an alkali swellable emulsion polymer and a hydrophobically-modified alkali swellable emulsion polymer; a pH adjuster; a surfactant; at least one of an alkyl benzene sulfonic acid and an alkyl benzene sulfonate; water; a cosolvent; and, optionally, a pH color indicator; wherein the pH of the hard surface cleaning composition is 3.5 to 6.0. Also provided is a method of cleaning a hard surface.

The present invention relates to the provision of salt-sensitive particles capable of improving the feeling of effects at the time of use of an oil agent to be blended in a cleaner or the like and a method for producing the same, and so on.

The present invention provides the following [1] to [4].

[1] Salt-sensitive particles containing an oil agent having a solubility in 100 g of water of less than 1 g and an acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol, wherein the oil agent is dispersed in the salt-sensitive particles.
[2] A cleaner containing the salt-sensitive particles as set forth in [1].
[3] A method for cleaning a skin, a hair, or a clothing, including using the cleaner as set forth in [2].
[4] A method for producing the salt-sensitive particles as set forth in [1], including a step of preparing an emulsion composition containing an oil agent having a solubility in 100 g of water of less than 1 g and an acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol; and a step of removing the water from the emulsion composition.

Formulations comprising a nanostructured particles consisting of a solid acid, made of mixed oxides of silica and titania (TiO.sub.2—SiO.sub.2); supporting in its dispersed matrix: copper, silver, gold, iron, rutenium, rhodium, cobalt, zinc, palladium, zinc, manganese, iridium and/or platinum metals at minimal concentrations, and at least one functionalizing agent in contact with the particle, for use as a surface, material and personal cleaner.
