A water-soluble or dispersible, hydrolytically stable polysaccharide preferably selected from the group consisting of poly-glucan, poly-mannan, gluco-mannan and mixtures thereof. Which is covalently linked by a hydrolytically stable bond to a first polymeric textile softening species (typically a silicone) and optionally emulsified with a second polymeric textile softening species. The specification also discloses laundry treatment composition comprising these compositions.

Laundry treatment compositions

The invention relates to a fabric treatment composition which comprises a self-crosslinking polymer possessing pendant azetidinium groups. A first aspect of the invention comprises an azetidinium functionalized polymer containing primary or secondary amine groups. Cross-linking reactions between the azetidinium group and primary or secondary amine groups do not form quaternary groups and consequently do not result in a charged, cross-linked polymer. This lack of charge is believed to overcome the problems of stain fixing and dye adsorption. A second aspect of the present invention subsists in an azetidinium functionalized polymer of which the monomers comprise: an amino-acrylate and/or amino-alkacrylate monomer, and, optionally, further non-amino acrylate and/or alkacrylate monomer. A third aspect of the present invention provides a textile treatment composition which comprises an azetidinium functionalized polymer in accordance with the first or second aspect of the invention and a textile compatible carrier.

Azetidinium modified polymers and fabric treatment composition

Cosmetic formulations containing a cosmetic active and a continuous phase comprising a water-immiscible liquid carrier, such as, amongst other materials, silicone oils, branched aliphatic alcohols or liquid aromatic/aliphatic esters that is structured by a cyclodipeptide derivative having the general formula 

Cosmetic compositions

A method of treating finished garments comprising cellulosic material so as to cause cross-linking, which comprises the step of treating fabrics with an effective amount of a blocked cross-linking agent for cellulose, the cross-linking agent being thermally activated.

Fabric treatment

A laundry treatment composition comprising composition comprising: in which Rare independently of one another selected from H, a hydrolysable group, or a fibre reactive group in which when Ris a hydrolysable group the degree of substitution is 0 to 1, and wherein Ris a fibre reactive group the degree of substitution is from 0.05 to 1 and;

Laundry composition

Fabric treatment compositions comprising a textile compatible carrier and particles having a layered structure comprising oxygen atoms and silicon and/or phosphorus atoms and comprising organic functional groups which are bonded to silicon and/or phosphorus atoms by direct covalent bonds between the silicon and/or phosphorus atoms and a carbon atom. The functional groups are selected to impart lubricating properties to the particles.

Fabric treatment compositions comprising organically modified particles

A substituted polysaccharide comprising &#x3b2;linkages having covalently bonded on the polysaccharide moiety thereof, at least one deposition enhancing group which undergoes a chemical change in water at a use temperature to increase the affinity of the substituted polysaccharide to a substrate, the substituted polysaccharide further comprising one or more independently selected silicone chains.
