Abstract: A non-intrusive device for automatically dispensing at least one liquid laundry care composition to an automatic laundry washing machine. The device employs a Venturi tube mechanism or a pump to dose the laundry detergent care composition. The dosing is either manually controlled or controlled by a machine-generic algorithm capable of determining the actual cycle at any duration of wash for various cycle designs from various washing machines, without the input of precise cycle design; and dose the correct products correctly and is capable of distinguishing between major water addition and a water pulse.

Abstract: A customized cleansing article provides the user with an assortment of one or more of skin cleansing, aesthetic, and skin benefit bars contained within a porous pouch. The toilet bars are characterized by a rigidity index greater than 0.2 Mpa at 25 C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cleansing composition product having at least one acid phase and at least one soap phase that are separated. The inventive composition is contained in a partitioned container in one embodiment and a partitionless container in another embodiment. This multiphase composition is stable upon storage and in a further embodiment is dispensed as a striped product where typically lather is reduced upon blending and a fatty acid is deposited onto the skin.

Abstract: Mild toilet bar compositions are described that contain harsh to the skin cleansing components, such as soap, and a latent acidifier. The latent acidifier reduces the pH of the toilet bar when used for cleansing but does not substantially affect the hardness of the toilet bar. Lather, drag properties, and deposition of benefit agents are substantially improved.

Abstract: A cleansing system is described that allows the user to select an assortment of one or more of skin cleansing, aesthetic, and skin moisturization and benefit bars for insertion within a porous pouch to produce a customized cleansing implement. A cleansing system kit is also described which includes at least one porous pouch and an assortment of skin cleansing, aesthetic, and skin benefit bars.

Abstract: Mild toilet bar compositions are described that contain synthetic surfactants, moisturizers and exfoliant particles where 25% or more of the particles have a major axis length of between 100 and 600 microns. The combination of the mild surfactants, moisturizers, and exfoliants provide the user with simultaneous moisturization and exfoliation.

Abstract: A toilet bar composition is described that contains an amido tertiary amine, amido amine salt, or amido ammonium skin conditioning agent in an amount effective to enhance skin feel and the deposition of hydrophobic emollients without having a deleterious effect on lathering speed, sand, and slip properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid cleansing compositions in lattellar phase which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. However, these liquids often undergo an irreversible decrease in viscosity under freeze/thaw conditions, losing their moisturization signals. The use of low salt levels in amphoteric and anionic surfactants in a structured liquid product has been found to improve its freeze/thaw stability.

Abstract: The present invention teaches liquid sunscreen compositions in which level of surfactant is higher than level at which the sunscreen component(s) are still soluble in the surfactant in which they are used; and which comprise minimal levels of cationic polymer. Combination of cationic polymer (especially preferred surfactants and at minimum levels) and minimal levels of sunscreen lead to compositions with minimal levels of deposition and minimal SPF. Further, the compositions also maintain good lather.

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid cleansing compositions in lamellar phase. Use of specific anionic surfactant has been found to enhance both initial viscosity and freeze thaw (low temperature) viscosity/stability.
