A concentrate composition comprising: (a) at least 10 wt % of a glycol ester of a fatty acid; (b) at least one acyl alkyl isethionate surfactant of formula (I):

##STR00001## wherein R.sup.1 represents an optionally substituted C.sub.4-C.sub.36 hydrocarbyl group; each of R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently represents hydrogen or a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group and wherein at least one of R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 is not hydrogen; and M.sup.+ represents a cation; and (c) at least one zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant.

The present disclosure relates generally to cleaning compositions and, more specifically, to cleaning compositions containing a mannanase enzyme at a level of from 0.0001% to 2% pure enzyme by weight of total composition and an xyloglucanase enzyme.

The present invention relates to a pearly liquid detergent composition comprising a thickener, a pearlescent agent and perfume capsules. The present invention further relates to a method for cleaning textiles using such a pearly liquid detergent composition.

Described herein is a method of using aqueous polymer dispersions, which are obtainable by radical aqueous emulsion polymerization in the presence of a degraded starch as an opacifier in liquid formulations. Also described herein is a process for producing the aqueous polymer dispersions. Also described herein are liquid formulations, such as detergent formulations and liquid cosmetic preparations, which contain at least one aqueous polymer dispersion.

The present invention provides a cleansing composition for skin or hair which can provide a good durability of foam and rinse feel, give good combability and softness from during rinsing to after drying while imparting manageability to hair when the cleansing composition is applied to hair, and give good moist feeling to skin when the cleansing composition is applied to skin. The cleansing composition for skin or hair is a cleansing composition comprising an internal olefin sulfonate (A) having 12 or more and 24 or less carbon atoms.

Opaque cleaning compositions substantially free of opacifying agents and pearlizers, and methods for the same are disclosed. The cleaning composition may include a synergistic combination of a surfactant system and one or more salts. The surfactant system may include a nonionic surfactant and two anionic surfactants, and the one or more salts may include a multivalent ion. In some examples, the cleaning composition is free of thickeners.

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.

An opacified liquid detergent composition includes at least one anionic surfactant, a fatty acid, magnesium cations, calcium cations, and water. The fatty acid, magnesium cations, and calcium cations are present in the opacified liquid detergent composition in a weight ratio of from about 0.95:0.04:0.01 to about 0.88:0.11:0.01 of fatty acid to magnesium cations to calcium cations. The opacified liquid detergent composition is free of a microplastic opacifier and has a turbidity value of greater than 250 NTU measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C.
