A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The composition contains an anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, an organic acid, and about 10% to about 40% by weight polyethylene glycol having molecular weight greater than 3,350. A unit dose of the composition is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning.

A microplastic-free, in-vitro opacified detergent composition includes a surfactant component present in an amount of about 8 to about 65 weight percent actives and including (1) an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C-Cbackbone that is ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, (2) at least one non-ionic surfactant having an alkoxylated alcohol, and (3) at least one anionic surfactant having a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 5 to about 90 weight percent, free fatty acids in a total amount from about 1 to 15 weight percent and a magnesium cation in a total amount of from 0.005 to 0.3 weight percent. The composition has a turbidity value of at least 250 NTU at 75&#xb0; F.

Microplastic-free, opacified liquid laundry detergents

A structured liquid detergent composition includes water, an anionic detergent surfactant, and a nonionic detergent surfactant. A ratio of the anionic detergent surfactant to the nonionic detergent surfactant is from about 0.5 to about 20. The structured liquid detergent composition further includes a zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and a bacterial-derived cellulose network. The structured liquid detergent composition exhibits improved rheological properties.

An in-vitro opacified and structured detergent composition includes a surfactant component present in an amount of about 7 to about 50 weight percent actives and including (1) an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C-Cbackbone that is ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, (2) at least one non-ionic surfactant comprising an alkoxylated alcohol, and (3) at least one anionic surfactant comprising a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 30 to about 90 weight percent, free fatty acids in a total amount from about 1 to 15 weight percent, a magnesium cation in a total amount of from 0.05 to 1 weight percent, and colloidal particles such as encapsulated fragrances. The composition has a yield point value of at least 0.075 Pa at 20&#xb0; C.

Opacified and structured liquid laundry detergents containing colloidal particles

A detergent composition includes a surfactant component present in an amount of from about 5 to about 70 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the composition, water present in an amount of from about 5 to about 90 weight percent based on a total weight of the composition, polyvinyl alcohol particles present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent based on a total weight of the composition, and a functional material that is encapsulated in the polyvinyl alcohol particles and is chosen from enzymes, surfactants, functional polymers, and combinations thereof and present in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 2 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the composition.

Disclosed is a method for producing a unit-dose capsule which includes optionally forming the first film into the shape of a first cavity, supercooling a first component to a temperature at which the equilibrium state of the first component is a solid or semi-solid, dispensing the first component in a supercooled state into the first cavity, such that the first component gels to form at least one layer of gel adhered to and/or in contact with the first film, forming a second film into the shape of a second cavity, filling the second cavity with a second component, sealing the first film to the second film to form a sealed cavity having at least one chamber containing the first component and the second component. The method may further include wetting and perforating the first film. The unit-dose capsule includes the sealed container and the two components.

Methods of making unit-dose products with supercooling

The present disclosure provides a single-compartment, multiple phase unit dose dishwashing detergent composition and a single-compartment, multiple phase unit dose fabric cleaning or treatment composition, the preparations and uses thereof.

Unit dose detergent composition

Disclosed is a method for producing a unit-dose capsule which includes optionally forming the first film into the shape of a first cavity, supercooling a first component to a temperature at which the equilibrium state of the first component is a gel, dispensing the first component in a supercooled state into the first cavity, such that the first component gels to form at least one layer of gel adhered to and/or in contact with the first film, forming a second film into the shape of a second cavity, filling the second cavity with a second component, sealing the first film to the second film to form a sealed cavity comprising at least one chamber containing the first component and the second component. The method may further include wetting and perforating the first film. The unit-dose capsule comprises the sealed container and the two components.

The present invention is directed to a composition comprising about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a clay, and about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of an external structuring agent which is a parenchymal cellulose material; the present invention is also directed to a liquid detergent composition, comprising from about 5 wt % to about 45 wt % of a surfactant, about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a clay, about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of an external structuring agent which is a parenchymal cellulose material, and about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of a builder component; and the present invention is further directed to methods of preparing the liquid detergent compositions; and the present invention is moreover directed to a fragrance composition, comprising about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of an encapsulated fragrance component, about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a clay, and about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of an external structuring agent.

Aqueous detergent compositions

The present invention provides methods for determining mild aqueous laundry detergent formulations, mild liquid laundry detergent formulations, and methods for preparing the same. The formulations comprise various surfactants and have a low detergent mildness indicator, derived from combining results from Zein test, corneosurfametry test, and in vitro cytokine release test.

Mild liquid detergent formulations

The present invention provides a beneficial composition comprising (a) an encapsulated benefit agent composition comprising: a core comprising at least one benefit agent, and a water-insoluble shell; and (b) a suspension medium comprising: at least one suspending polymer, and at least one clay. The present invention also provides methods of using such a beneficial composition. In addition, the present invention provides methods of making a beneficial composition comprising: (a) providing an encapsulated benefit agent composition comprising a core comprising at least one benefit agent and a water-insoluble shell; (b) providing a suspension medium comprising at least one suspending polymer and at least one clay; (c) adding the encapsulated benefit agent composition to the suspension medium; and (d) mixing the suspension medium and the encapsulated benefit agent composition to form a substantially uniform aqueous suspension.
