A container configured to hold a liquid shampoo composition with an aesthetic design formed at least in part by visually discernable, stable bubbles suspended therein. The shampoo composition can have a cleansing phase containing one or more detersive surfactants. In addition to the cleansing phase, the composition can have an additional cleansing phase and/or a benefit phase that can provide conditioning as well as additional visual interest.

Container containing a shampoo composition with an aesthetic design formed by bubbles

Process for late-stage differentiation manufacturing of a personal care composition including: formulating a base composition having a first viscosity; comparing the first viscosity of the base composition to a predetermined desired base viscosity range; adjusting the viscosity of the base composition to a second viscosity that is within the desired base viscosity range by addition of one or more viscosity modifiers; and adding one or more differentiation compositions to the base composition to create the personal care composition, wherein the personal care composition has a final viscosity within a desired final viscosity range without the need to add additional viscosity modifiers.

Late-stage product differentiation process for personal care products

A method of making a personal care composition that involves using a mixer to combine a personal care composition chassis with microcapsules. The mixer has a housing, a first fluid inlet, a second inlet, a fluid outlet and a rotor connected to the housing. The rotor has blades positioned within the housing to define cells between neighboring blades and the housing. The personal care composition chassis, which includes surfactants and water, is advanced along a flow path from the first fluid inlet toward the fluid outlet, while the microcapsules are transferred from the second inlet to the flow path by rotating the rotor. Air in the microcapsule composition is directed from inside the cells toward the second inlet, and the microcapsule composition is combined with the personal care composition chassis to form the personal care composition. The personal care composition is advanced from the outlet.

Method of making a clear personal care comprising microcapsules

Shampoo compositions having an anionic surfactant, cationic deposition polymer, sheet-like microcapsules and an aqueous carrier. The shampoo composition delivers both good in use benefits, while maintaining a consumer desirable appearance. The sheet-like microcapsules can also contain perfumes, extracts, dyes, colorants, and/or benefit agents.

Shampoo composition comprising sheet-like microcapsules

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a particulate zinc material, an effective amount of a detersive surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group, an effective amount of a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione, a dispersed gel network phase comprising: i) at least about 0.05% of one or more fatty amphiphiles, by weight of said shampoo composition; ii) at least about 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants, by weight of said shampoo composition; and iii) water; and at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier, by weight of said shampoo composition.

Composition comprising a particulate zinc material, a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione and a gel network

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a particulate zinc material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group wherein the particulate zinc material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15 % and wherein the composition comprises less than 5.5 micromoles of a zinc binding material per gram of the particulate zinc material/per m/gram surface area of the particulate zinc material.

Composition comprising particulate zinc material with a high relative zinc lability

A mixing assembly for use in a semi-continuous process for producing liquid personal care compositions, such as shampoos, includes a main feed tube carrying a base of the composition to be produced, a plurality of injection tubes in selective fluid communication with the main feed tube, and an orifice provided in a wall at an end of the main feed tube downstream of the plurality of injection tubes. The wall in which the orifice is provided includes a curved (e.g., semispherical) entry surface on an upstream or inlet side of an orifice, and a curved (e.g., semi-elliptical) exit surface on a downstream or outlet side of the orifice. The orifice may have a rectangular or elliptical shape. By maintaining symmetry of the injection tubes with respect to the orifice, and leveraging delay between introduction of dosed modules and increased viscosity, effective mixing may be achieved with minimal energy.
