Water soluble pellet and method for manufacturing said water soluble pellet
A water soluble pellet for releasing one or more actives including a vegetable soap carrier in an amount of 10-95 wt %; a perfume oil in an amount of 2-12 wt %; and a dye in an amount of 0.001 to 0.5 wt %. The method for manufacturing the water soluble pellet includes the following steps: mixing the composition; extruding the composition; and cutting the extruded composition to form water soluble pellets.

polyethylene glycol in an amount of 15-40 wt %
at least one water soluble filler selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride and calcium chloride; and
at least one additive selected from the group consisting of natural cellulose fibers, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose.
2. The water soluble pellet according to claim 1 , wherein said vegetable soap carrier is made from coconut, olive, rice or corn soaps or a mixture of two or more of them.
3. The water soluble pellet according to claim 1 , further comprising perfume capsules in an amount of 0.5-12 wt %.
4. The water soluble pellet according to claim 3 , wherein said perfume capsules are made from melamine formaldehyde.
5. The water soluble pellet according to claim 1 , wherein said water soluble pellet has a weight from 5 mg to 1 g.
