Abstract: Compositions, articles and methods are provided for supplying fabric care benefits to clothing or fabrics in an automated washing machine and by manual washing. The fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% detergent surfactants, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. Similarly, the fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% fabric softener actives, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. The laundry articles can take a variety of forms in a variety of physical states all of which will rapidly dispense a unitized amount of one or more selected fabric care agents to a wash and/or rinse bath solution during the laundering process under a variety of conditions. The invention also pertains to laundry kits that contain a variety of such articles and instructions concerning their use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a starch composition comprising starch, a polymer that is substantially compatible with starch and has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 500,000 such that the polymer forms effective entanglements or associations with neighboring starch molecules, and preferably at least one additive to improve melt flow and melt processability. The additive may be a hydroxyl plasticizer, a hydroxyl-free plasticizer, a diluent, or mixtures thereof. The composition is melt processable on conventional thermoplastic equipment. The composition is especially suitable for uniaxial and biaxial extensional processes to make fibers, films, foams and like products.

Abstract: A composition comprising at least about 25% of a fiber component, by weight of the composition, provides a safe and effective amount of fiber component to a user. A method of producing such a composition is provided. Additionally a method of providing a safe and effective amount of fiber component to a user is provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mask composition comprising: (1) a water insoluble substrate; and (2) an emulsified liquid composition comprising: (a) an oily component; (b) a hydrophilic surfactant; (c) a water-soluble thickening polymer which provides the liquid composition a viscosity of from about 500 mPa·s to about 60,000 mPa·s; and (d) an aqueous carrier.

Abstract: A fabric treatment composition comprising from about 0.0001% to about 0.01% by weight of a fabric substantive dye loaded onto a particle carrier having an average particle size of less than 100 ?m is disclosed. The process for making the fabric treatment composition is described. A fabric substantive dye-loaded particle carrier having an average particle size of less than 100 ?m and comprising from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of a fabric substantive dye is described.

Abstract: Personal care compositions comprising a cleansing phase and a benefit phase. These products are intended to provide a multi-phase personal care composition that is packaged in physical contact while remaining stable and providing improved in-use and after-use hair and skin benefits.

Abstract: A combination toothbrush and toothpaste dispenser, and method, are adapted for use by a child. The dispenser provides an easily actuatable activator that, when operated, discharges a predetermined amount of toothpaste from an orifice. The toothbrush is adapted to automatically lift the toothbrush head off of a support surface to a height near that of the dispenser orifice. As a result, a child may focus on manipulating one item at a time when loading a toothbrush with toothpaste.
