Improved gel compositions for delivering volatile materials such as fragrance oils, fragrance solutions, deodorants, insecticides, and the like into the surrounding air are disclosed. In general, such gel compositions do not include the use of cross-linking and/or chelating agents. In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, hardness and resistance to syneresis of a translucent gel composition is significantly improved by employing a modified polysaccharide as the gelling agent. In accordance with other embodiments, also disclosed is the use of an amine oxide to reduce the total surfactant level of the gel. Preferred gel composition, in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, include a nonionic-based silicone antifoam agent to effectively control the production of foam during manufacture of the gel composition. |
