Abstract: This invention is an improved mild personal cleansing syndet bar comprising: long chain synthetic surfactant having essentially saturated C.sub.15 -C.sub.22, preferably C.sub.16 -C.sub.18, alkyl or acyl chains, more preferably cetearyl sulfate; a high lathering, mild synthetic surfactant, preferably C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 acyl isethionate; soap; fatty acids; sodium isethionate; and paraffin wax, preferably a high melting point paraffin wax. The bar has improved processability, good smears, and good in-use properties without meaningful lather negatives.

Abstract: This invention is an improved mild personal cleansing syndet bar comprising: long chain synthetic surfactant having essentially saturated C.sub.15 -C.sub.22, preferably C.sub.16 -C.sub.18, alkyl or acyl chains, more preferably cetearyl sulfate; a high lathering, mild synthetic surfactant, preferably C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 acyl isethionate; soap; fatty acids; sodium isethionate; paraffin wax, preferably a high melting point paraffin wax, and optionally, but preferably, cationic polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved freezer bar soap comprising selected saturated C.sub.14 -C.sub.18 fatty acid soaps and lathering synthetic surfactant. The bars of this invention have reduced bathtub ring, as well as improved mildness while maintaining acceptable lathering/sudsing characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved freezer bar soap comprising selected saturated C.sub.14 -C.sub.18 fatty acid soaps and lathering soap selected from lauric, oleic, and other minor selected more soluble soaps. The bars of this invention have improved mildness while maintaining acceptable lathering/sudsing characteristics.

Abstract: An isotropic liquid cleansing composition which is cosmetically attractive, stable and which also has excellent lather performance properties. The composition contains a water-soluble triethanolamine fatty acid soap, an electrolyte thickener selected from citrates, formates and tetraacetate, a synthetic surfactant, and water as essential components and has a neat viscosity (100%) of about 2,000 to 12,000 cps.

Abstract: A malodor-free personal cleansing bar with a low level of zeolite odor-controlling agent. The preferred application is a fragrance-free bar, a scented bar, or the like.

Abstract: A mild skin cleansing composition in the form of a bar comprising from about 0.5% to about 20% of a mixture of a silicone gum and a silicone fluid wherein the gum:fluid ratio is from about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably from about 4:1 to about 1:4, most preferably from about 3:2 to about 2:3. The silicone component is a skin mildness/moisturizing aid which imparts superior, durable conditioning to skin washed with the composition. Processes for preparing a mild skin cleansing toilet bar with this silicone component are disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to bleaching detergent compositions that provide effective and efficient surface bleaching of textiles over a wide range of bleach detergent solution temperatures. Surface bleaching of textiles is bleaching wherein the bleaching mechanism takes place on the textile surface and, thereby, removes stains and/or soils. The bleaching compositions within the invention contain either a mixture of peroxygen bleaches capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions and specific bleach activators or the corresponding percarboxylic acids and either a sulfosuccinate, a nitrilotriacetate or mixtures thereof as a bleach promoter.

Abstract: Solid detergent compositions containing alpha-amine oxide surfactants and alkaline materials, which exhibit a pH of greater than 9.0 at a concentration of 1% by weight in water, are disclosed. The alpha-amine oxides have improved stability against metal-catalyzed decomposition in the present compositions. The compositions preferably also contain other surfactants and detergent adjunct materials.

Abstract: Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific critical pH, and a relatively high level of available chlorine, buffered with trisodium phosphate, containing a tripolyphosphate or pyrophosphate sequestering builder, and having a relatively high level of surfactant. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and organic builders and preferably contains 2.0r alkali metal silicate and/or a preferred C.sub.17 -C.sub.19 polyethoxylate surfactant.

Abstract: Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific low level of a polyacetal carboxylate for improved hard water filming performance, especially in the presence of precipitating builders. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and other organic builders.

Abstract: Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific critical pH; relatively high levels of bleach, reserve alkalinity and surfactant; and, preferably, a specific mixture of alkali metal silicates. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and organic builders.

Abstract: Granular detergent compositions comprising an air sensitive material are packaged in a pouch which comprises a reclosable spout structure, the pouch being formed by heat sealing a laminate comprising an outside layer of a high melting point material, an aluminum foil layer, a paper layer, and an inner layer of a low melting material capable of acting as a glue.

Abstract: Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific critical pH, and, preferably, a relatively high level of available chlorine, buffered with trisodium phosphate, containing a tripolyphosphate or pyrophosphate sequestering builder, and having a relatively high level of surfactant. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and organic builders and preferably contains 2.0r alkali metal silicate and/or a preferred C.sub.17 -C.sub.19 polyethoxylate surfactant.

Abstract: Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific critical pH; a specific mixture of alkali metal silicates for corrosion prevention, improved spotting and filming, and improved processing and physical characteristics; and having a relatively high level of surfactant. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and organic builders.
