Abstract: Water-soluble refill dose articles for forming a cleanser have a water-soluble film defining a first compartment enclosing a first composition and a second compartment enclosing a second composition, which are individual separate articles or are part of an integral article. The first composition has a rheology modifier, a first surfactant, 10% or less by weight water, 20% or less by weight glycol, and the first surfactant does not activate the rheology modifier. The second compartment has an alkaline substance that when mixed with the first composition and water activates the rheology modifier to increase the viscosity of a resulting cleanser and 10% or less by weight water. When the article is diluted in water at a 1:1 to 1:20 ratio, it produces a cleanser having a viscosity within a range of 2000 cps to 50,000 cps.

Abstract: The invention discloses cleaning compositions which employ a synergistic combination of an ester solvent, preferably a fatty acid methyl ester in combination with one or more linear alkyl amines. The alkyl amines act as to remove and suspend organic oils which have been burnt or adhered to a surface with heat and may even be used alone as a soil removal agent. The cleaning compositions have particular use in cleaning of distillation towers associated with biofuel, and vegetable oil refining, but also find use in cleaning ovens, food cooking surfaces and even dry cleaning.

Abstract: Perfumed latex soap is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 2-5 parts of natural latex, 5-12 parts of glycerin, 8-10 parts of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 5-10 parts of coconut oil, 6-8 parts of palm oil, 1-3 parts of titanium dioxide, 0.8-1.2 parts of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, 0.6-0.8 part of sulfur, and 0.8-1.0 part of radix asparagine essential oil. The perfumed latex soap is mild, safe, and non-irritating and has aroma of the natural latex. In addition, the added radix asparagine essential oil can effectively improve the skin condition of a human body without causing the human body to generate dependence. The temperature of the mixing tank in which the perfumed latex soup is prepared is convenient to adjust and materials in a mixing cylinder can be agitated and sheared during agitating, so that the materials are fully mixed and the quality of a product is improved.

Abstract: A bar soap composition is made from ingredients comprising: at least one cleanser chosen from soap and a first surfactant; and at least one taurate surfactant chosen from a salt of a fatty acid amide of taurine, a salt of a fatty acid amide of N-methyl taurine, and combinations thereof. The taurate surfactant is different than the first surfactant. The composition is in a solid bar form. Other personal care and home care products that include the taurate surfactants are also disclosed.
