Abstract

A consumer product comprises: (a) a porous dissolvable solid structure, (b) a first hydrophobic coating comprising a first benefit agent, and (c) a second hydrophobic coating comprising a second benefit agent. The first and second hydrophobic coatings are discretely applied to the porous dissolvable solid structure. A method of forming an aqueous treatment liquor comprises the steps of: (a) providing a consumer product, (b) providing an aqueous solution, and (c) dissolving the consumer product in the aqueous solution to form an aqueous treatment liquor comprising a hydrophobic portion and an aqueous portion.

Claims (24)

1. A consumer product comprising:

(a) a porous dissolvable solid structure, wherein said porous dissolvable solid structure is in the form of fibrous web structure,

(b) a first hydrophobic coating applied to said porous dissolvable solid structure, wherein said first hydrophobic coating is a silicone conditioning agent having a viscosity of less than about 12 Pa·s, and

(c) a second hydrophobic coating, wherein said second hydrophobic coating is perfume oil, said second hydrophobic coating applied to said porous dissolvable solid structure,

wherein said first hydrophobic coating and said second hydrophobic coating are discretely applied to said porous dissolvable solid structure; wherein said first hydrophobic coating and said second hydrophobic coating are respectively applied to opposing surfaces of said porous dissolvable solid structure; and wherein said first hydrophobic coating is applied on a top outer-facing surface of said porous dissolvable solid structure and said second hydrophobic coating is applied on a bottom outer-facing surface of said porous dissolvable solid structure.

2. The consumer product of claim 1 , wherein said consumer product is selected from the group consisting of a beauty care product, hand washing product, body wash product, shampoo product, conditioner product, cosmetic product, hair removal product, laundry product, laundry rinse additive product, laundry detergent product, hard surface cleaning product, hand dishwashing product, automatic dishwashing product, and unit dose form automatic dishwashing or laundry product.

3. The consumer product of claim 1 , wherein said consumer product comprises said first and second hydrophobic coatings applied to said porous dissolvable solid structure in an amount of from about 1% to about 70%, by weight of the consumer product.

4. The consumer product of claim 1 , wherein said first and/or second hydrophobic coating of said consumer product has an average thickness and/or maximum thickness of less than about 1000 microns.

5. The consumer product of claim 1 , wherein said silicone conditioning agent is selected from the group consisting siloxanes, silicone gums, aminosilicones, terminal aminosilicones, alkyl siloxane polymers, cationic organopolysiloxanes, and mixtures thereof.

6. The consumer product of claim 5 , wherein said silicone conditioning agent is terminal aminosilicone.

7. The consumer product of claim 1 , wherein said first and/or second hydrophobic coating has an area density of application of less than about 250 μg per mm 2 of said porous dissolvable solid structure.

8. The consumer product of claim 1 , wherein said first and/or second hydrophobic coating further comprises viscosity modifier, surfactant, or mixtures thereof.

9. A method of forming an aqueous treatment liquor comprising a benefit agent, said method comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a consumer product according to claim 1 ;

(b) providing an aqueous solution; and

(c) dissolving said consumer product in said aqueous solution to form an aqueous treatment liquor comprising a hydrophobic portion and an aqueous portion.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said method provides a Capillary Number of less than about 1000.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said first or second hydrophobic coating of said consumer product has a first viscosity and said aqueous portion of said aqueous treatment liquor has a second viscosity, wherein a ratio of said first viscosity to said second viscosity is less than about 100:1.

12. A method of forming an aqueous treatment liquor comprising a benefit agent, said method comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a consumer product according to claim 1 ;

(b) providing an aqueous solution; and

(c) dissolving said consumer product in said aqueous solution to form an aqueous treatment liquor,

wherein said aqueous treatment liquor comprises silicone particles having a particle size of from about 10 microns to about 500 microns.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said silicone particles of said aqueous treatment liquor have a particle size of from about 30 microns to about 200 microns.
