Abstract: Provided herein are solid salt base or sugar base compositions for delivering encapsulated fragrance to textiles, and processes of making and using the compositions for treating textiles. It has been discovered that, during the manufacturing process, premixing a silicon compound and a salt base or sugar base before incorporating an encapsulated fragrance slurry to the salt base or sugar base significantly decreases the encapsulate breakage rate of the solid compositions. Solid encapsulated fragrance compositions prepared by the process allows consumers to experience a long-lasting freshness of their clothes after treating their clothes with the encapsulated fragrance compositions.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the manufacture of a personal washing bar having an artisan crafted appearance that has one or more inclusions emanating from its surface. The process involves forming a billet of an extruded cleansing base; placing one or more inclusion masses on the surface of this billet; and stamping the inclusion bearing billet in a direction perpendicular to the surface on which the inclusion mass is placed so as to embed the inclusion mass in and fuse it with the extruded cleansing base to form a personal washing bar having one or more visually distinct surface inclusions substantially continuous with the continuous phase at the surface of the bar.
