Abstract: The invention relates to a multiphase liquid detergent composition comprising at least one cleaning phase and at least one benefit phase, a surfactant, and a crystalline structurant. The crystalline structurant being substantially present in a non-lamellar phase. The invention also relates to a multiphase liquid detergent composition comprising at least two visually distinct liquid phases, a surfactant, and at least two incompatible or reactive materials. The first incompatible or reactive material is distributed in a first visually distinct phase and a second incompatible or reactive material is distributed in a second visually distinct phase. The present invention further relates to methods of cleaning dishware using such multiphase liquid detergent compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiphase liquid detergent composition comprising at least two visually distinct liquid phases and a surfactant. At least one of the visually distinct phases has a high shear viscosity between about 100 cps and 15,000 cps at 20° C., a medium shear viscosity between about 5,000 cps and about 60,000 at 20° C., and a low shear viscosity between about 10,000 cps and 500,000 cps at 20° C. The present invention further relates to methods of cleaning dishware using such multiphase liquid detergent compositions.
