A structuring premix having a non-polymeric, crystalline, hydroxyl-containing structuring agent and at least two nonionic surfactants having a low HLB and a high HLB. A liquid fabric care composition that includes such a structuring premix. A process for making a structured liquid fabric care composition.

Structuring premixes and liquid compositions comprising them

The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising from about 10% to about 25% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.1% to 10% of sulfur; wherein the sulfur has a mean particle size (D50) of from about 5 &#x3bc;m to about 150 &#x3bc;m; from about 0.05% to about 10% of one or more stabilizing polymers; and from about 0.01% to about 4% of a suspending wax.

Compositions with sulfur having enhanced efficacy and aesthetics

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.

Methods of making personal care compositions, such as dentifrices, involving the addition of rheology modifiers at a later stage in the personal care composition formation process.

Late stage addition of rheology modifier

The present invention generally relates to microparticles and, in particular, to systems and methods for encapsulation within microparticles. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to microparticles containing entities therein, where the entities contain an agent that can be released from the microparticles, e.g., via diffusion. In some cases, the agent may be released from the microparticles without disruption of the microparticles. The entities may be, for instance, polymeric particles, hydrogel particles, droplets of fluid, etc. The entities may be contained within a fluid that is, in turn, encapsulated within the microparticle. The agent may be released from the entity into the fluid, and then from the fluid through the microparticle. In such fashion, the release of agent from the microparticle may be controlled, e.g., over relatively long time scales. Other embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making such microparticles, methods of using such microparticles, microfluidic devices for making such microparticles, and the like.

Non-spherical liquid droplets comprising a liquid, an internal solid material defining the shape of the droplet, a benefit agent, and methods of making non-spherical liquid droplets.

Non-spherical droplet

A structured liquid detergent composition in the form of a liquid matrix made up of an external structuring system of a bacterial cellulose network; water; and surfactant system including an anionic surfactant; a nonionic surfactant; a cationic surfactant; an ampholytic surfactant; a zwitterionic surfactant; or mixtures thereof, wherein said liquid matrix has a yield stress of from about 0.003 Pa to about 5.0 Pa at about 25&#xb0; C. and provides suitable particle suspension capabilities and shear thinning characteristics.
