Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining mild aqueous laundry detergent formulations, mild liquid laundry detergent formulations, and methods for preparing the same. The formulations comprise various surfactants and have a low detergent mildness indicator, derived from combining results from Zein test, corneosurfametry test, and in vitro cytokine release test.

Abstract: The present invention provides a beneficial composition comprising (a) an encapsulated benefit agent composition comprising: a core comprising at least one benefit agent, and a water-insoluble shell; and (b) a suspension medium comprising: at least one suspending polymer, and at least one clay. The present invention also provides methods of using such a beneficial composition. In addition, the present invention provides methods of making a beneficial composition comprising: (a) providing an encapsulated benefit agent composition comprising a core comprising at least one benefit agent and a water-insoluble shell; (b) providing a suspension medium comprising at least one suspending polymer and at least one clay; (c) adding the encapsulated benefit agent composition to the suspension medium; and (d) mixing the suspension medium and the encapsulated benefit agent composition to form a substantially uniform aqueous suspension.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a lubrication box includes a first portion, a shaving aid material, and a second portion. The first portion of the lubrication box has a skin-engaging surface and at least one sidewall that, together, form a cavity. The skin-engaging surface includes at least two holes therethrough. The shaving aid material, which is optionally distributed in the cavity in a series of layers, is ultrasonically compressed into the cavity such that it at least partially fills at least one of the holes in the skin-engaging surface and at least a portion of the cavity. The second portion of the lubrication box is attached to the first portion such that the cavity is substantially closed. A gap exists between in the cavity between the shaving aid and the second portion of the lubrication box to permit the shaving aid material to expand during normal use.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition comprising about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a clay, and about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of an external structuring agent which is a parenchymal cellulose material; the present invention is also directed to a liquid detergent composition, comprising from about 5 wt % to about 45 wt % of a surfactant, about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a clay, about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of an external structuring agent which is a parenchymal cellulose material, and about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of a builder component; and the present invention is further directed to methods of preparing the liquid detergent compositions; and the present invention is moreover directed to a fragrance composition, comprising about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of an encapsulated fragrance component, about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a clay, and about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of an external structuring agent.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides sulfate-free detergent formulations comprising water, a nonionic surfactant, and at least a second surfactant, wherein the formulation has a Zein score of less than about 3 percent when tested as a 10% dilution.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a lubrication box includes a first portion, a shaving aid material, and a second portion. The first portion of the lubrication box has a skin-engaging surface and at least one sidewall that, together, form a cavity. The skin-engaging surface includes at least two holes therethrough. The shaving aid material is pre-formed in a pre-determined shape, placed in the first portion of the lubrication box, and then compressed. The second portion of the lubrication box is attached to the first portion such that the cavity is substantially closed. A gap exists between in the cavity between the shaving aid and the second portion of the lubrication box to permit the shaving aid material to expand during normal use.

Abstract: A shaving aid material is provided that includes a water-soluble lubricious shaving aid in combination with a water-insoluble erodable medium. In some embodiments, the shaving aid material further includes a water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, and may also include a plasticizer. Optional additional ingredients include emulsifiers, surfactants, skin conditioners, fragrances, depilatory agents, cleaning agents, medicinal agents, etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions comprising:(1) 1-80% by wt. surfactant;(2) defined peroxyacid; and(3) 0.01-20% by wt. of a mono substituted phenolic compound.The compounds help to extend the half life of the peracid bleaches in such compositions. The invention further relates to a method of incorporating stability of surfactant compositions comprising peracid bleaches which method comprises adding 0.01-2.0% by wt. of said substituted phenolic compound to the composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions comprising:(1) 1-80% by wt. surfactant;(2) defined peroxyacid; and(3) 0.01-20% by wt. of N-oxide compound.The N-oxide compounds help to extend the half life of the peracid bleaches in such compositions.
