The present invention relates to an isotropic concentrate composition that is easy to hydrate and transform into an end use wash composition. The end use wash composition resulting from the concentrate composition is suitable for topical application and for hand washing. The concentrate comprises fragrance oil and emulsifier at levels that unexpectedly result in a concentrate composition and end use composition that are free of ingredient precipitation that interferes with the appearance and usage of the compositions.

Compositions comprising a sugar alkoxylate and processes for preparing said compositions are provided. The compositions can be used as a bio-film inhibitor, rheology modifier, emulsion breaker, and/or emulsion inverter. Additionally, the compositions can be used in methods of breaking and/or inverting an emulsion of water and oil.

A method of reducing the viscosity of a crude oil, the method comprising adding to the crude oil (i) a surfactant compound including at least two hydrophobic groups wherein the resultant mixture has a water content of less than 10 vol %.

A surfactant composition includes a homogeneous mixture of greater than 70%, by weight, of N-acyl alaninate surfactant of formula (I) and an N-acyl amino acid surfactant of formula (II). A process for preparation of a blend of an N-acyl alaninate surfactant and an N-acyl amino acid surfactant includes combining (a) an alanine amino acid and (b) other amino acid, an anhydrous alkali salt of the other amino acid, or both, a waterless base, and a fatty alkyl ester of formula (V) to form a mixture including alanine amino acid salt of formula (III), and other amino acid salt of formula (IV). The process further includes increasing the temperature of the mixture to 180° C. or less to form a reaction mixture. The process further includes continuously removing alkyl alcohol from the reaction mixture and allowing the reaction mixture to become substantially clear to form the blend.

A porous dissolvable solid can include an isethionate surfactant; a non-sulfate anionic surfactant; and an amphoteric surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant, or a combination thereof.

A solid granule or granular material used for cleaning agents includes an anionic surfactant component and a molding agent. The anionic surfactant component includes an anionic sulfonate surfactant and an anionic fatty alcohol-based sulfate surfactant. Based on the total amount of the cleaning granule being 100 wt %, the combined amount of the sulfonate surfactant and the sulfate surfactant is between 15.0 wt % and 100 wt %. The amount of molding agent is 5.0 wt % or less. The ratio of the sulfonate surfactant to the sulfate surfactant is 0.20 to 0.75, inclusive. A cohesion of the solid granule is between 1000 g/mm and 4000 g/mm.
