An air freshener with customizable fragrances is disclosed. The air freshener accepts a plurality of fragrance modules, which allow a user to create customized fragrant environments. A fan and/or heating element are included to increase fragrance dispersal. Additional components may be included into the air freshener to provide enhancements to the user experience, including but not limited to a clock, timer, or a music player. The air freshener obtains power from a number of sources, such as AC mains or DC batteries. Energy storage devices located on board the air freshener may be charged by inductive or solar power. The air freshener may also include lighting elements and styling cues to integrate into the local environment.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for modulating hair growth or regrowth. The compositions of the present invention include extracts of one or more of the following:, green tea (e.g.,), shiso,, luteolin (e.g.leaf extract), astilbin, vitamin E, amentoflavone, tetrahydropiperine, lichochalcone, astaxanthin, red clover,, unfermented green rooibos, enzyme CoQ10, salvia, ximenynic acid, hops oleoresin, apple, soy, saw palmetto, or ellagic extract, or any derivative thereof.

Methods and compositions for modulating hair growth or regrowth

An aqueous no-scrub, no-wipe cleaning composition containing at least one partial salt of EDTA and a water-soluble amine; at least one alkyl polyglycoside surfactant; at least one alkyl ether carboxylate surfactant; and up to 0.5% by weight of an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant, relative to the total weight of the composition, and a method for cleaning a soiled surface to provide a clean surface which is substantially streak-free by applying the cleaning composition to a soiled surface.

Non-streaking no-wipe cleaning compositions with improved cleaning capability

The dispensability of granular detergent compositions is enhanced by applying to granular detergent compositions comprising at least one detergent builder a liquified intimate mixture comprising at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one fatty acid and at least one fatty alcohol.

Dispensable powder detergent

The present invention relates to a nonionic loaded powder detergent composition which is free-flowing and is manufactured and agglomerated in a single operation. The free-flowing agglomerated powder detergent composition is produced by mixing sodium carbonate, a di- or tricarboxylic acid and a nonionic surfactant to form a nonaqueous slurry. Water is then added to the slurry to solubilize portions of the sodium carbonate and the di- or tricarboxylic acid which allows them to react to form a builder salt in the slurry. Silica is then added to the slurry to form a flowable or nearly flowable powder detergent mixture.

Mix process for formulating detergents

Dispensible powder detergent

A high density, enzyme-containing powder detergent composition including a combination of alkaline proteases for improved cleaning characteristics and a combination of different density sodium carbonates for improved dispensing characteristics.

Detergent and method for producing the same

A laundry method is disclosed including the step of laundering oil soiled fabric in lipophilic surfactant composition and subsequently laundering such fabric with a hydrophilic surfactant based detergent system.
