Abstract: A personal care composition that comprises: a) a sugar infused with at least one additive, in particular, hair and/or skin benefit agent, wherein the infused sugar is coated with a hydrocarbon layer of selected viscosity and melting point; b) at least 10 wt % water, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the infused and coated sugar is suspended in the composition as a disperse particle phase.

Abstract: A shampoo composition is described which includes from 1 to 25% by weight of mild surfactants, from 0.001 to 5% by weight of citrus fibers, from 0.01 to 5% by weight of anti-dandruff zinc salts, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The citrus fibers help structure the composition to maintain phase stability, provide appropriate viscosity and achieve deposition of the anti-dandruff zinc salts.

Abstract: The invention relates to specific synergistic combinations (providing perfume delivery in both diluted and undiluted compositions) between specific soap-based liquid concentrates and particularly defined perfumes. The invention further relates to a method of delivering enhanced smell and/or enhanced fragrance intensity in use using such combinations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of obtaining enhanced perfume bloom, e.g., bars providing enhanced perfume impact. By selecting specific bar compositions (e.g., with low TFM and specific starch-polyol structuring system), it has been unexpectedly found that bloom is actually increased upon dilution of such bars.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of enhanced perfume retention, e.g., bars providing enhanced retention. By selecting specific bar compositions (e.g., with low TFM and specific starch-polyol structuring system), it has been unexpectedly found that retention of perfume during dry bar storage is actually increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions, especially pastes/creams which have high level of long chain lipids or lipid mimics. These help provide “creaminess”, a desirable rheological characteristic. This is seen from defined viscosity values which define the pastes. In addition, unpredictably, when used in combination with short chain phase inducers, foam values are adequate when it would be expected the lipids would decrease foam. The composition also retains stability from physical separation.

Abstract: The invention relates to both compositions comprising flat platy particles wherein the particles individually have deposition system (i.e., cationic polymers and anionic surfactant) on them.

Abstract: Malodor free skin care compositions are described. The skin care compositions comprise an adsorbable solvent and an insoluble particle in an adsorbable solvent-insoluble particle complex. The complex is suitable to adsorb components with malodor to yield a skin care composition free of offensive odors like those generated from the oxidation of conjugated linoleic acid.

Abstract: The invention discloses bar compositions which are milder than soap but have squeaky feel or rinse associated with soap. This is accomplished by ensuring at least a certain portion (at least 1%), or all, of the soluble surfactant system is ion-sensitive. Further, soluble soap comprises less than 1% by wt. of bar, which helps produce a less alkaline pH bar while allowing squeaky feel to be produced.

Abstract: The invention relates to perfume-containing bar compositions in which the effect of said perfume(s) (e.g., longevity) is enhanced relative to comparative bars in that perfume-containing bar of the invention, comprise less than about 35% soluble surfactant. The invention further comprises a process for enhancing deposition/longevity of perfume, for example, by controlling the level of soluble active relative to insoluble active and/or by increasing levels of perfume.
