Abstract

There is provided a laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition comprising a benefit agent whereby said benefit agent is carried with a carrier material, thereby providing an enhanced deposition on the treated fabric of the benefit agent.

Claims (22)

1. A process for producing a laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition by combining:

a.) a pre-made carried composition having a viscosity of at least 400 cps at 20° C. and consisting of:

(i) a carrier consisting of a polyisobutylene polymer which is not capable of chemically reacting with a benefit agent, and mixtures thereof; and

(ii) a benefit agent, said benefit agent and said carrier being at a weight ratio of from 1:1 to 4:1; and

b.) a material selected from the group consisting of a detergent ingredient, a cleaning ingredient, a surfactant, a fabric care ingredient and mixtures thereof; and

c.) a bleaching system.

2. The process of claim 1 wherein said carried composition has a dry surface Odor Index of more than 5.

3. The process of claim 1 wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of a liquid carrier, a solid carrier, and mixtures thereof.

4. The process of claim 1 wherein said carrier has a molecular weight ranging from 2,000 to 10,000,000.

5. The process of claim 1 wherein said benefit agent is a perfume composition.

6. The process of claim 5 wherein said benefit agent consists of perfume ingredients with a Clog P of at least 2.0 and a boiling point of at least 250° C.

7. A laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition consisting of:

a.) a pre-made carried composition having a viscosity of at least 400 cps at 20° C. and consisting of:

(i) a carrier consisting of a polyisobutylene polymer which is not capable of chemically reacting with a benefit agent, and mixtures thereof; and

(ii) a benefit agent, said benefit agent and said carrier being at a weight ratio of from 1:1 to 4:1; and

b.) a material selected from the group consisting of a detergent ingredient, a cleaning ingredient, a surfactant, a fabric care ingredient and mixtures thereof; and

c.) and bleaching system.

8. The laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care of claim 7 , wherein said pre-made carried composition has a dry surface Odor Index of more than 5.

9. The laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition of claim 7 wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of a liquid carrier, a solid carrier, and mixtures thereof.

10. The laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition of claim 7 wherein said carrier has a molecular weight ranging from 2,000 to 10,000,000.

11. The laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition of claim 7 wherein said benefit agent is a perfume composition.

12. The laundry and/or cleaning and/or fabric care composition of claim 11 wherein said benefit agent consists of perfume ingredients with a Clog P of at least 2.0 and a boiling point of at least 250° C.
