  • Publication number: 20250066696
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improving the stability of a peroxide containing bleach composition. It particularly relates to such a composition for hard surface cleaning applications including toilet cleaning as well as for fabric cleaning application. It relates to an antimicrobial composition comprising a peroxide bleaching agent which in the presence of a cationic surfactant and an organic acid is more stable than has been heretofore known. This is achieved by inclusion of a stabilizer which in the present invention is a polyalkylene glycol compound.

  • Publication number: 20250049692
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antiperspirant composition, particularly to antiperspirant composition having high levels of oil. The present inventors have found that when compositions having an unsaturated oil such as sunflower seed oil is present in the antiperspirant composition together with high total oil content present in the composition, the fabric which comes in contact with the composition in the axilla tends to get stained on repeated use. The present inventors have found that the problem of staining or yellowing of fabrics is significantly lowered when a combination of an alkoxylated aliphatic ether with an alkyl chain length of C3 to C10 and specific polyethylene glycol diester of fatty acid with chain length of C12 to C18 is used in an antiperspirant composition having high total oil content including unsaturated oil and an antiperspirant active.
