Abstract: A cleansing article composed of a solid or semi-solid foamable composition, a wear promotion agent and a fibrous layer with bonded fibers is described that provides the user with a pleasant personal cleansing experience by revealing sufficient free fibers during personal cleansing to provide both excellent lather and exfoliating properties and which in one embodiment combines cleansing, aesthetic and/or skin benefit with active agents. The batting layer is at least partially encompassed by the solid or semi-solid foamable composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fire blocking non-woven three-dimensional structure. The structure may include a fabric having a multiplicity of compressible projections wherein the projections return substantially to their original shape after being compressed by 50%. The fabric may include a layer of non-woven and/or metallic film or foil fire blocking material.

Abstract: A non-woven hydroentangled textile is described formed in cross-section with a central area of low mass fiber density surrounded on both sides by areas of higher mass density. Further, a personal cleansing article is described wherein the hydroentangled textile is associated with a personal cleansing composition that includes a lathering surfactant. The composition is deposited onto, impregnated into or at least is partially enclosed by the textile. Also described is a process for producing the textile involving feeding into a hydroentangling unit a loose random assembly of fibers both above and below a fibrous screen modifying textile substrate.

Abstract: A personal care cleansing article is provided which includes a cleansing composition having a lathering surfactant and a water absorbing material capable of accepting at least ten times the weight of the material of water, the composition being held within a water-insoluble sachet.

Abstract: A cleansing article is provided which includes a fibrous web of continuous network bonded fibers and a solid or semi-solid foamable composition joinably penetrating the web. The web has a first and second major surface each being on opposite faces of the web. The composition and web are present in a relative weight ratio ranging from about 30:1 to about 2000:1. At least a major portion of the first major surface of the web preferably being exposed above the foamable composition, and a majority of surfaces defining an exterior of the article are formed of the foamable composition.

Abstract: A cleansing article composed of a solid or semi-solid foamable composition and a batting layer with bonded fibers is described that provides the user with a pleasant personal cleansing experience and which in one embodiment combines cleansing, aesthetic and/or skin benefit with active agents and exfoliation. The user also experiences substantial lather during use of the cleansing article. The batting layer is at least partially encompassed by the solid or semi-solid foamable composition.

Abstract: An article that is especially suitable for cleansing skin is described which includes a foamable composition having the form of an elastic semi-solid gel and a fibrous layer made up of a continuous network of bonded fibers. The weight ratio of the foamable composition to the fibrous layer is in the range from about 30 to 1 to about 2000 to 1 and the foamable composition at least partially encompasses the fibrous layer.

Abstract: A cleansing article and process for manufacture is provided, the article being a solid or semi-solid foamable composition joinably penetrating a fibrous web, the combination being molded and held for sale to consumers in a single use disposable sealed plastic receptacle. The receptacle includes indicia printed onto or associated with the plastic receptacle.

Abstract: A personal cleansing kit and related method are described. The kit includes a water-insoluble fibrous web folded into a plurality of pleats, each adjacent pleat adhering to one another from about 3 to about 100 separate personal washing events and a cleansing composition having from about 0.5 to about 60% by weight of surfactants in a carrier.

Abstract: Skin care or cleansing implements are described containing a liquid, semi-solid or solid cleansing or skin treatment composition that is releasably associated with the implement. The composition is substantially nonaqueous and has a continuous and a discontinuous phase. Components of the discontinuous phase can react with each other or with water when water is blended with the nonaqueous cleansing or skin treatment composition during consumer use. Methods for treating the skin with the inventive implements are also described.
