Abstract

A compliant personal care composition can include i) from about 20% to about 80%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant; and ii) from about 3% to about 40%, by weight of the composition, of a water insoluble hygroscopic fiber, fine, or filament; wherein the composition has a compliance value of about 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm or before a simulated use. The composition may also be at least partially surrounded by a substrate and in the form of an article.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compliant personal care article, comprising:
a) a composition comprising:
i) from about 20% to about 80%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant; and
ii) from about 3% to about 40%, by weight of the composition, of a water insoluble hygroscopic filament comprising a fiber and a fine; and
iii) a solvent; and

b) a water insoluble substrate;
wherein the composition is at least partially surrounded by the substrate and the article has a compliance value of about 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm before a simulated use; and
wherein the substrate in a multiplanar film.

2. The compliant personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the article has a compliance value before a simulated use of about 0.10 kg/mm to about 0.75 kg/mm.

3. The compliant personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the article has a compliance value of about 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm after 15 minutes of drying after one simulated use.

4. The compliant personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the article has a compliance value after drying for 12 hours after 10 simulated uses of about 0.10 kg/mm to about 0.75 kg/mm.

5. The compliant personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the composition is in the form of a soft solid.

6. The compliant personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises from about 5% to about 50%, by weight of the composition, of the solvent.

7. A compliant personal cleansing article, comprising:
a) from about 40% to about 99.6%, by weight of the article, of a cleansing composition, comprising;
i) from about 20% to about 80%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant;
ii) from about 3% to about 40%, by weight of the composition, of a fine, fiber, or filament, comprising cellulose; and
iii) a solvent; and

b) a multiplanar film at least partially surrounding the composition;
wherein the article has a compliance value of about 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm before a simulated use.

8. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 7 , wherein the surfactant comprises cocoamide monoethanolamine, cocoamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, an alkyl sulfate, or a combination thereof.

9. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 8 , wherein the composition comprises the filament and the filament comprises from about 1% to about 95%, by weight of the filament, of fines, and from about 5% to about 99%, by weight of the filament, of fibers.

10. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 9 , wherein the article has a compliance value of 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm after 12 hours of drying after 15 simulated uses.

11. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 10 , wherein the composition is in the form of a soft solid.

12. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 11 , wherein the composition comprises from about 5% to about 50%, by weight of the composition, of the solvent.

13. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 12 , wherein the film comprises a surface aberration.

14. The compliant personal cleansing article of claim 13 , wherein the surface aberration comprises a pore.
