Abstract

A personal care article can include a composition and a substrate. The article can be compliant to a surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A personal care article, comprising:
a compliant personal care composition;
a water penetrable first substrate adjacent to the composition; and
a chamber adjacent to both the compliant personal care composition and the water penetrable first substrate;
wherein the composition is greater than 3500 wt. %, by weight of total substrate.

2. The personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a compliance of about 1.5 kg/mm or less.

3. The personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate surrounds the composition.

4. The personal care article of claim 1 , further comprising a second substrate adjacent to the first substrate.

5. The personal care article of claim 3 , wherein the second substrate at least partially surrounds the first substrate which at least partially surrounds the composition.

6. The personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate is fibrous.

7. The personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the article has a consumption rate of about 1.5 g/use to about 15 g/use.

8. The personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate has a water flux rate of 20 cm 3 /cm 2 /s or more.

9. The personal care article of claim 1 , wherein the composition is in the form of pellets, bar, paste, gel, or a combination thereof.

10. A personal cleansing article, comprising:
a compliant personal cleansing composition having a first side and a second side;
a first water penetrable substrate adjacent to one side of the personal cleansing composition;
a second substrate adjacent to the other side of the personal cleansing composition;
a first water insoluble substrate adjacent to the first substrate,
a second water insoluble substrate adjacent to the second substrate; and
a chamber adjacent to the compliant personal cleansing composition and at least one of the first substrate and second substrate;
wherein the composition has a compliance of about 0.03 to about 1.50 kg/mm.

11. The personal cleansing article of claim 10 , wherein the first and second substrates form a pouch around the cleansing composition.

12. The personal cleansing article of claim 11 , wherein the composition is greater than 3,500 wt %, by weight of the total substrate.

13. The personal cleansing article of claim 11 , wherein the composition is greater than 4,000 wt %, by weight of the total substrate.

14. The personal care article of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first or second substrates has a water flux rate of 20 cm 3 /cm 2 /s or more.

15. The personal care article of claim 14 , wherein the article has a consumption rate of about 1.5 g/use to about 15 g/use.

16. A compliant personal care article, comprising:
about 4000 wt. % or more, by weight of total substrate, of a personal care composition;
a first substrate surrounding the personal care composition and having a water flux rate of about 0.1 cm 3 /cm 2 /s to about 60 cm 3 /cm 2 /s;
a second substrate surrounding the first substrate and having a water flux rate of about 0.1 cm 3 /cm 2 /s to about 60 cm 3 /cm 2 /s; and
a chamber between the personal care composition and the first substrate;
wherein the personal care article has a consumption rate of about 0.05 gm/use to about 20 gm/use.

17. The compliant personal care article of claim 16 , wherein the composition has a compliance of about 1.50 kg/mm or less.

18. The compliant personal care article of claim 17 , wherein the composition is greater than 5000 wt. %, by weight of total substrate.

19. The compliant personal care article of claim 18 , wherein the first substrate comprises a batting.

20. The compliant personal care article of claim 19 , wherein the article is used for cleansing the skin, cleansing the hair, shave preparation, post shave treatment, or a combination thereof.
