Personal wash compositions containing an anionic surfactant as a cleaning agent and a cationic dendrimer as a mildness aid. The dendrimer lowers the irritation potential of the surfactant. Cationic dendrimers remain dispersed in anionic surfactant solutions. The dendrimers are significantly less viscous than linear cationic polymeric mildness aids and are monodispersed. Furthermore, the dendrimers perform better than linear cationic polymers, especially in the presence of harsh anionic surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Cleansing compositions with dendrimers as mildness agents

A liquid automatic dishwashing composition containing a biodegradable structurant, such a microbial polysaccharide or a superabsorber, in combination with a wax encapsulated source of a chlorine bleaching agent and a chlorine scavenger to degrade small amounts of chlorine agent leaking from the encapsulates.
