Abstract: The present invention relates to an alkoxylated polyalkylene imine or an alkoxylated polyamine according to the general formula (I) (I), in which the variables E, R, B, y and z are defined below. The present invention further relates to a process for preparing such alkoxylated polyalkylene imines or alkoxylated polyamines as well as to the use of such compound within, for example, cosmetic formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a particulate textile treatment composition comprising at least two particulate components, wherein the first particulate component comprises clay and silicone, wherein the second particulate component comprises clay, and wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of clay present in the composition to the total amount of silicone present in the composition is higher than the weight ratio of the amount of clay present only in the first particulate component to the amount to silicone present only in the first particulate component.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solid particulate laundry detergent composition comprising: (a) from 2 wt % to 20 wt % clay; (b) from 0.5 wt % to 10 wt % polydimethylsiloxane; (c) from 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % flocculating component; (d) from 5 wt % to 25 wt % anionic detersive surfactant comprising a substituted or unsubstituted linear or branched alkyl benzene sulphonate; (e) from 1 wt % to 22 wt % zeolite; wherein the weight ratio of zeolite to alkyl benzene sulphonate is from 0.1:1 to less than 2.8:1, and wherein the clay and polydimethylsiloxane are present together in the composition in the form of a co-particulate admixture.
