A composition including a plurality of particles. The plurality of particles include: about 25% to about 99% by weight water soluble carrier; and about 0.01% to 50% by weight antioxidant. The antioxidant is dispersed in a matrix of the water soluble carrier.

Particulate laundry additive

A laundry care composition including: (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The laundry care composition has a ΔHA of at least 10. Methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

Leuco colorants as bluing agents in laundry care compositions

The present disclosure provides a laundry care composition having at least one laundry care ingredient and at least one leuco composition conforming to Formula (I):ArArArCH&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)wherein Arand Arare independently a carbocyclic aryl or heteroaryl, and Aris selected from the group consisting of: unsubstituted phenyl, electron deficient carbocyclic aryl, and heteroaryl. The present disclosure also provides a method of determining an authentic laundry care composition and test kits for detecting authentic laundry care compositions.

Laundry care compositions, methods, and test kits for determining authenticity

A laundry care composition including (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The leuco composition has a first color state and a second color state and the mole ratio of second color state to first color state is from 2:98 to 5:95. Also disclosed are methods of determining the approximate functional age of a laundry care composition comprising the steps of (a) providing a laundry care composition that includes at least one laundry care ingredient and a leuco composition, (b) providing a functional age scale that includes a plurality of distinct colors that correspond to a unique functional age and (c) comparing the color of the laundry care composition with the functional age scale.

Laundry care compositions and methods for determining their age

A method for treating textile articles including the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition comprising a leuco composition; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; (c) placing the textile articles in contact with the liquid medium; (d) depositing at least some portion of the leuco composition onto the textile articles; (e) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (f) drying the textile articles, wherein the leuco composition comprises a leuco colorant with a Photoresistance Index of less than or equal to 30.

Methods of using leuco colorants as bluing agents in laundry care compositions

A laundry care composition comprising: (a) at least one laundry care ingredient, (b) a leuco composition; (c) a stabilizing amount of an antioxidant composition which comprises at least one phenol selected from the group consisting of alkylated phenol, hindered phenol, and mixtures thereof and at least one substituted diarylamine, wherein the mole ratio of the phenol to the substituted diarylamine is greater than 1:1.

This invention relates to bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents, laundry care compositions comprising bis-azo colorants that may serve as bluing agents, processes for making such bluing agents and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The bluing agents are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. These bluing agents are advantageous in providing a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics.

Bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents

A method for treating textile articles including the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition comprising a leuco composition; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; (c) placing the textile articles in contact with the liquid medium; (d) depositing at least some portion of the leuco composition onto the textile articles; (e) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (f) drying the textile articles, wherein the leuco composition comprises a leuco colorant with a Photosensitivity Index of greater than or equal to 10.

A laundry care composition including: (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The laundry care composition has a &#x394;HA of at least 10 and produces a relative hue angle on fabric outside the range of 210 to 345. Methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

A laundry care composition including (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition including at least one leuco compound. The leuco compound including a leuco moiety and a polyalkyleneoxy moiety covalently bound to the leuco moiety. The polyalkyleneoxy moiety includes at least one ethylene oxide group and at least one propylene oxide group. A method of treating a textile includes the steps of (a) providing such a laundry care composition; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; (c) placing textile articles in the liquid medium; (d) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (e) drying the textile articles.

Leuco colorants as bluing agents in laundry care composition

Detergent compositions comprising a water-soluble film and a leuco colorant. At least about 10% of the leuco colorant is incorporated into the water-soluble film. Methods of making such detergent compositions. A detergent composition including (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The leuco composition has a first color state and a second color state and the mole ratio of second color state to first color state is from 2:98 to 5:95. Also disclosed are methods of determining the approximate functional age of a detergent composition comprising the steps of (a) providing a detergent composition that includes at least one laundry care ingredient and a leuco composition, (b) providing a functional age scale that includes a plurality of distinct colors that correspond to a unique functional age and (c) comparing the color of the detergent composition with the functional age scale.

Detergent compositions contained in a water-soluble film containing a leuco colorant

A laundry care composition having a carrier and a leuco colorant.

Laundry care composition comprising polyethylene glycol-based particles comprising a leuco colorant

A laundry care composition including: (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The laundry care composition after 30 days of storage at 25&#xb0; C. provides a whiteness benefit to cotton upon washing that is greater than the initial whiteness benefit. Methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

Detergent compositions comprising a water-soluble film and a shading dye. At least about 10% of the shading dye is incorporated into the water-soluble film. Methods of making such detergent compositions.
