Abstract

A consumer product comprises: (a) a porous dissolvable solid structure, and (b) a hydrophobic coating comprising a benefit agent. The hydrophobic coating is applied to the porous dissolvable solid structure and the hydrophobic coating has an average thickness and/or maximum thickness of less than about 1000 microns. 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 (22)

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

(a) providing a consumer product comprising:

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

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

(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 particles of silicone conditioning agent having a particle size of from about 10 microns to about 500 microns.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said particles of said silicone conditioning agent of said aqueous treatment liquor have a particle size of from about 30 microns to about 200 microns.

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

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said aqueous treatment liquor comprises a hydrophobic portion and an aqueous portion.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hydrophobic coating of said consumer product has an average thickness and/or maximum thickness of less than about 500 microns.

6. The method 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.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said consumer product comprises said hydrophobic coating applied to said porous dissolvable solid structure in an amount of from about 1% to about 70%, by weight of the consumer product.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hydrophobic coating has an area density of application of less than about 250 μg per mm 2 of said porous dissolvable solid structure.

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

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said silicone conditioning agent is terminal aminosilicone.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hydrophobic coating is a first hydrophobic coating and said consumer product further comprises a second hydrophobic coating comprising a second benefit agent, wherein said first hydrophobic coating and said second hydrophobic coating are discretely applied to said porous dissolvable solid structure.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said first hydrophobic coating and said second hydrophobic coating are applied to the same surface of said porous dissolvable solid structure.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein said first hydrophobic coating and said second hydrophobic coating are respectively applied to opposing surfaces of said porous dissolvable solid structure.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein said second benefit agent is perfume.

15. The method of claim 4 , wherein said method provides a Capillary Number of less than about 1000.

16. The method of claim 4 , wherein said 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.
