Abstract: The present invention relates to a mild multi-phased personal care composition that contains a surfactant component containing a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants; where said mild multi-phased personal care composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 45%.

Abstract: A multi-phase personal care composition is described that comprises a first visually distinct structured phase and a second visually distinct structured phase. The first visually distinct structured phase comprises a cleansing phase that includes about 2% to about 23.5%, by weight of the cleansing phase, of surfactant component. Preferably, the surfactant component comprises at least one branched anionic surfactant.

Abstract: A package for storing a dryer sheet comprising: a carton comprising a top panel defining at least one window; and at least one dryer sheet comprising a perfume technology comprising at least one perfume microcapsule, wherein said at least one dryer sheet comprises an indicia of freshness, and wherein said at least one dryer sheet is located within the interior of said carton such that said indicia of freshness is visible through said at least one window.

Abstract: A stable, rinsable multi-phase personal care composition is described comprising at least two visually distinct phases. At least one visually distinct phase comprises from about 1% to about 99% of a depositable solid by weight of the composition; and wherein said stable multi-phase personal care composition provides at least about 0.2% Depositable Solids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to leave on, skin care compositions, comprising: (a) from about 0.1% to about 30% of a sunscreen active, (b) from about 0.5% to about 20% of a hydrophobic, structuring agent, (c) from about 0.2% to about 10% of a hydrophilic surfactant, (d) from about 0.1% to about 5% of a thickening agent, (e) from about 0.1% to about 25% of a skin lightening agent and (f) water. These compositions are useful for providing (i) protection to human skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation and (ii) a skin lightening benefit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substantially dry, disposable, personal cleansing product useful for both cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair. These products are used by the consumer by wetting the dry product with water. The product comprises of a water insoluble substrate, a lathering surfactant, and a conditioning emulsion. The invention also encompasses methods for cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair using these products and to methods for manufacturing these products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to leave on, skin care compositions, comprising: (A) from about 0.001% to about 20% of an active ingredient, (B) from about 1% to about 20% of a stable, hydrophobic, structuring agent selected from the group consisting of saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 fatty alcohols, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 fatty alcohols containing from about 1 to about 5 moles of ethylene oxide, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 diols, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 monoglycerol ethers, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acids, and mixtures thereof, having a melting point of at least about 45.degree. C.; and (C) from about 0.05% to about 10% of a hydrophilic surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof, and (D) from about 25% to about 98.949% water. These compositions are useful for delivering a wide variety of active ingredients to the skin.
