Benefit agent delivery systems, compositions incorporating such benefit agent delivery systems, and methods for making the delivery system in the compositions are provided. The benefit agent delivery systems of the present invention employ polymer particles having affinities for selected benefit agents, such as perfume, to form the polymeric assisted benefit agent delivery systems, which can effectively deposit benefit agents onto, onto the surface of a substrate, e.g., fabrics being laundered, hard surfaces, hair, skin or nails.

Polymeric assisted delivery using separate addition

Compositions, articles and methods are provided for supplying fabric care benefits to clothing or fabrics in an automated washing machine and by manual washing. The fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% detergent surfactants, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. Similarly, the fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% fabric softener actives, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. The laundry articles can take a variety of forms in a variety of physical states all of which will rapidly dispense a unitized amount of one or more selected fabric care agents to a wash and/or rinse bath solution during the laundering process under a variety of conditions. The invention also pertains to laundry kits that contain a variety of such articles and instructions concerning their use. Likewise, methods for preparing a customized laundry solution to obtain a specific fabric care benefit selected based on the user's personal preferences and/or the fabric care needs of the fabrics being laundered are also provided. Further, the present invention also concerns methods for assisting a consumer in identifying the unitized articles to be used in preparing a laundry solution that will impart desired fabric care benefits as well as merchandising displays for dispensing the articles, assembling customized laundry kits and instructing the consumer on the selection and use of laundry articles.

Laundry system having unitized dosing

Perfume polymeric particles, polymeric particles having affinities for certain perfume raw materials, compositions containing them and methods for making the same are provided.

Perfume polymeric particles

A laundry agent delivery particle and granular compositions including the particle are provided. The particle comprises a porous carrier selected from the group consisting of Zeolite X, Zeolite Y and mixtures thereof with the porous carrier including a number of pore openings. The laundry release inhibitor is then incorporated into the porous carrier so that the cross-sectional area of the release inhibitor is larger than the cross-sectional area of the pore openings of the porous carrier. The laundry release inhibitor includes the residue of a deliverable agent such as a perfume component. The deliverable agent is then entrapped in the porous carrier until the release inhibitor is hydrolyzed thereby releasing the deliverable agent and allowing it to escape from the porous carrier.

Delivery system having release inhibitor loaded zeolite and method for making same

Delivery system having release barrier loaded zeolite

Laundry particles comprising: a) a porous carrier selected from the group consisting of Zeolite X, Zeolite Y, and mixtures thereof; and b) laundry agents comprising from about 5% to about 100% by weight of deliverable agents, preferably comprising from about 0.1% to about 50% blocker agents.

High efficiency delivery system comprising zeolites
