Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions which are in the form of an externally structured aqueous liquid matrix having dispersed therein a plurality of visibly distinct beads. Such beads are prepared so as to be in the form of a liquid core surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane formed by interaction of a cationic polymeric material with an anionic polymeric material. Such beads are stable in the aqueous liquid detergent compositions herein yet disintegrate substantially upon their introduction via the composition into agitated dilute aqueous laundering liquors.

Abstract: A paint containing a surfactant system capable of structuring a non-aqueous liquid composition, wherein the surfactant system comprises at least about 5% of a structuring particle. The surfactant system preferably further comprises a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof. A well dispersed mixture of a non-aqueous liquid, for example, a nonionic surfactant, and at least about 25%, by weight of the surfactant system results in the mixture having a yield of at least about 2.0 Pa when measured at 20 sec−1 and 25° C. Moreover, the surfactant system should exhibit a peak when measured by SAXS x-ray diffraction, wherein the peak's center is between about the 1.5 to 2.5 v positions on the 2 theta axis. The structuring particles are most preferably structuring particles of sulfate and linear alkyl benzene sulfonate.
