  • Patent number: 8187580
    Abstract: Benefit agent delivery systems, compositions incorporating such benefit agent delivery systems, and methods for making the delivery system in the compositions are provided. The benefit agent delivery systems of the present invention employ polymer particles having affinities for selected benefit agents, such as perfume, to form the polymeric assisted benefit agent delivery systems, which can effectively deposit benefit agents onto, onto the surface of a substrate, e.g., fabrics being laundered, hard surfaces, hair, skin or nails.

  • Publication number: 20100115708
    Abstract: Compositions, articles and methods are provided for supplying fabric care benefits to clothing or fabrics in an automated washing machine and by manual washing. The fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% detergent surfactants, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. Similarly, the fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% fabric softener actives, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. The laundry articles can take a variety of forms in a variety of physical states all of which will rapidly dispense a unitized amount of one or more selected fabric care agents to a wash and/or rinse bath solution during the laundering process under a variety of conditions.
