Abstract: The present invention is a vessel for containing consumer products. Parts of the containment vessel are made of material sufficiently capable of being deformed by the mechanical force applied by the hands of the consumer while avoiding accidental opening during shipment or display of the vessel on store shelves. The vessel can be made of a suitable material to display the contents of the containment vessel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to personal cleansing wipes articles which have superior softness, feel and cleansing properties. The wipes of the present invention comprise a substrate and an aqueous liquid cleansing composition which is coated onto or impregnated into said substrate to the extent of from about 100% to about 400% by weight of the substrate. The substrate is a single-layer, nonwoven substrate which is formed from hydroentangled fibers. Upon a substantial portion of a base surface comprising the substrate there exists a three-dimensional pattern comprising a plurality of discrete, raised fibrous regions. The raised fibrous regions have a density which is substantially the same as the density of the base surface. The raised fibrous regions are joined to the base surface by a fibrous transition region. The aqueous liquid cleansing composition comprises an effective amount of a cleansing surfactant.

Abstract: Disclosed are personal cleansing compositions, and corresponding methods of application, wherein the compositions comprise (A) a cleansing phase containing a cleansing surfactant and water; and (B) an active phase containing lipophilic carrier and preferably a skin active agent; wherein the cleansing and active phases are physically separated from one another by one or more packaging barriers, located in the same or separate packages. Preferred embodiments are further defined by selected lipophilic carrier rheologies, defined active phase particulates for improved skin feel, and selected chronic skin active agents for use in the active phase. These compositions and corresponding methods provide improved cosmetics, skin feel, and/or skin active efficacy.
