Abstract

An aqueous fabric care composition having perfume micro-capsules. The smell provided by the freshly formulated composition and the same composition after storage has a limited character and intensity change. The composition has from about 0 wt % to about 5 wt % of anionic surfactant, from about 0 wt % to about 3 wt % of cationic surfactant, from about 0 wt % to about 3 wt % of a non-ionic surfactant, from about 0.01 wt % to about 15 wt % of perfume micro-capsules and water.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An aqueous fabric care composition, having Brookfield viscosity at 60 rpm at 21° C. between 25 cp and 1000 cp, said composition comprising:
a) from about 0 wt % to about 3 wt % of anionic surfactant,
b) from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of cationic surfactant,
c) from about 0 wt % to about 2 wt % of a non-ionic surfactant,
d) from about 0.01 wt % to about 15 wt % of perfume micro-capsules, said perfume micro-capsules comprising a perfume mixture of at least 3 perfume raw materials and wherein the perfume mixture comprises at least about 50 wt % of perfume raw material having a ClogP above about 3,
e) from about 50 wt % to about 99.99 wt % of water

said composition having a surfactant to perfume micro-capsule ratio of 2.5 or less and greater than zero.

2. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of anionic surfactant, from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of cationic surfactant, from about 0 wt % to about 2 wt % of a non-ionic surfactant, from about 0.02 wt % to about 2 wt % of perfume micro-capsules, and from about 60 wt % to about 99.9 wt % of water.

3. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of surfactant to perfume micro-capsule is below 1.

4. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition has a Brookfield viscosity at about 21° C. at about 60 rpm between 40 cp and 500 cp.

5. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a polymeric thickener.

6. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises an antibacterial compound.

7. A package comprising the aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the package is a bottle or a sachet.

8. A composition according to claim 1 , comprising an ingredient selected from the group consisting of dispersing agent, stabilizer, pH control agent, metal ion control agent, colorant, brightener, dye, odor control agent, pro-perfume, cyclodextrin, solvent, soil release polymer, preservative, antimicrobial agent, chlorine scavenger, enzyme, antishrinkage agent, fabric crisping agent, spotting agent, anti-oxidant, anti-corrosion agent, bodying agent, drape and form control agent, smoothness agent, static control agent, wrinkle control agent, sanitization agent, disinfecting agent, germ control agent, mold control agent, mildew control agent, antiviral agent, drying agent, stain resistance agent, soil release agent, malodor control agent, fabric refreshing agent, chlorine bleach odor control agent, dye fixative, dye transfer inhibitor, color maintenance agent, color restoration/rejuvenation agent, anti-fading agent, whiteness enhancer, anti-abrasion agent, wear resistance agent, fabric integrity agent, anti-wear agent, rinse aid, UV protection agent, sun fade inhibitor, insect repellent, anti-allergenic agent, flame retardant, water proofing agent, fabric comfort agent, water conditioning agent, stretch resistance agent, cationic starch and mixtures thereof.

9. A composition according to claim 1 , comprising a dye.

10. An aqueous fabric care composition having a pH of from about 2 to about 5, and having Brookfield viscosity at 60 rpm at 21° C. between 25 cp and 1000 cp, said composition, said composition comprising:
a) from about 0 wt % to about 3 wt % of anionic surfactant,
b) from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of cationic surfactant,
c) from about 0 wt % to about 2 wt % of a non-ionic surfactant,
d) from about 0.01 wt % to about 15 wt % of perfume micro-capsules,
e) from about 50 wt % to about 99.99 wt % of water said composition having a surfactant to perfume micro-capsule ratio of 2.5 or less greater than zero.

11. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 10 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of anionic surfactant, from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of cationic surfactant, from about 0 wt % to about 2 wt % of a non-ionic surfactant, from about 0.02 wt % to about 2 wt % of perfume micro-capsules, and from about 60 wt % to about 99.9 wt % of water.

12. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 10 , wherein the weight ratio of surfactant to perfume micro-capsule is below 1.

13. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 10 , wherein the composition has a Brookfield viscosity at about 21° C. at about 60 rpm between 60 cp and 300 cp.

14. The aqueous fabric care composition according to claim 10 , wherein the perfume micro-capsules comprise perfume mixture of at least 3 perfume raw materials and wherein the perfume mixture comprises at least about 50 wt % of perfume raw material having a ClogP above about 3.
