Abstract: The present invention relates to a unit dose detergent product comprising a liquid fabric treatment composition and a water-soluble material, whereby the unit dose of the liquid composition is contained within the water-soluble material, wherein the liquid composition is a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning liquid having a low shear viscosity of at least 3,000 cps, when measured at a shear rate of 0.5 s?1 and 20° C., and wherein the liquid composition comprises silicone oil, the silicone oil being emulsified in the liquid composition so that the mean particle diameter of the emulsified silicone oil droplets is from 5 to 50 micrometers.

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions which are in the form of an externally structured aqueous liquid matrix having dispersed therein a plurality of visibly distinct beads. Such beads are prepared so as to be in the form of a liquid core surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane formed by interaction of a cationic polymeric material with an anionic polymeric material. Such beads are stable in the aqueous liquid detergent compositions herein yet disintegrate substantially upon their introduction via the composition into agitated dilute aqueous laundering liquors.
