Patent number: 11883835Abstract: A discrete product refill container and a rigid outer shell container. The refill container includes a product chamber and a fitment secured thereto. The fitment includes a ledge which is suitable for resting on a ledge of the rigid outer shell container while permitting the product chamber to pass into the shell interiorly to the ledge. It may also include a rim for grasping by transfer equipment. The fitment includes a destructive cover, i.e., one which cannot readily be re-closed, so that the consumer can easily make the product within the refill available for pumping, as desired. The rigid outer shell container can be snap fit closed. The refill bottle may be a pouch or a thin walled bottle, with a fitment. The fitment may serve to support the bottle in an inverted position for display or storage. The refill bottle may also include an integral ledge for support in the rigid outer shell container, instead of a discrete fitment.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2017Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Slavica Cesare, Lauren Alicia Ugliuzza, Graham Keith Lacy, Jonathan Edward Mason, Gregory Lalier

Patent number: 11883521Abstract: The present invention is in the field of rinse-off conditioner compositions; in particular, relates to rinse-off conditioner compositions for hair frizz reduction. Deposition of conditioning materials onto the hair surface results in hair having a greasy feel and look which is undesired. Therefore, there still exists the opportunity to increase the conditioning benefits delivered through hair care compositions, preferably without hair having to look and feel greasy. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a conditioning product with superior frizz control even after multiple washes and which does not make the hair look and feel greasy. It has been found that a conditioner composition providing superior frizz control can be obtained using a specific combination of silicones and a tricarboxylic acid.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Malcolm Murray, Anne-Sophie Piggott

Patent number: 11879112Abstract: The present invention is in the field of fabric cleaning compositions; in particular powder detergent compositions having foaming and cleaning characteristics in the main wash, yet significant foam reduction during rinse. Accordingly the present inventors have investigated ways of improving the defoaming ingredient such that the defoaming ingredient has improving foam-subsiding effects in the rinse stage. However they found that incorporating a monoester of glycerol of unsaturated fatty acids in a cleaning composition has adverse effects on the perfume impact of the cleaning composition. The inventors have found that the disadvantages of the prior art can be overcome, if a monoester of glycerol and unsaturated fatty acid is sorbed by a porous carrier material having a specific pore size and pH ranges. The inventive defoaming ingredient did not masked and/or altered the perfume delivery of the detergent composition.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Koushik Acharya, Sujitkumar Suresh Hibare, Panchanan Bhunia
