Fragrance-containing gel for delivering fragrance from structured liquid detergent compositions

摘要

A stable fragrance-containing gel is provided which is capable of being mixed with a fragrance-free base composition comprised of a homogeneous aqueous structured liquid detergent composition to form a pourable fragrance-containing homogeneous aqueous structured detergent composition. The resulting structured detergent composition provides enhanced deposition and longevity of fragrance upon fabrics laundered with such fragrance-containing detergent composition as compared to laundering with an otherwise identical composition containing the same level of fragrance but in the absence of said fragrance-containing gel, said fragrance-containing gel comprising:(a) a polyacrylic acid polymer having an average particle size below about 1 mm;(b) water in an amount sufficient to form a gel with said polymer;(c) a fragrance dispersed within said gel; and(d) a nonionic surfactant in an amount sufficient to emulsify said fragrance and enhance its dispersion within said gel to provide a stable fragrance-containing gel.
