Abstract
The present invention is a stable multi-phase personal care composition comprising: at least two visually distinct phases; wherein at least one visually distinct phase comprises a cleansing phase comprising from about 2% to about 90%, by weight of the cleansing phase, of a surfactant component; and wherein said cleansing phase comprises a polymeric phase structurant; and wherein said visually distinct phases form a pattern.

A stable multi-phase personal care composition comprising:
- at least two visually distinct phases;
- wherein at least one visually distinct phase comprises a cleansing phase comprising from about 2% to about 90%, by weight of the cleansing phase, of a surfactant component;
- and
- wherein said cleansing phase comprises a polymeric phase structurant;
- and
- wherein said visually distinct phases form a pattern.
A stable multi-phase personal care composition comprising:
- at least two visually distinct phases;
- wherein at least one visually distinct phase comprises a cleansing phase comprising from about 2% to about 90%, by weight of the cleansing phase, of a surfactant component;
- and
- wherein said cleansing phase has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 45%.
A multi-phase personal care composition comprising:
- at least two visually distinct phases comprising;
- a) a first phase comprising a cleansing phase comprising from about 2% to about 90%, by weight of said cleansing phase, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, soap, and mixtures thereof;
- wherein said cleansing phase is non-Newtonian shear thinning, has a viscosity of equal to or greater than about 3,000 cps;
- b) a benefit phase comprising a hydrophobic composition comprising from about 1% to about 100%, by weight of said benefit phase of a hydrophobic material is selected from the group consisting of lipids, hydrocarbons, fats, oils, hydrophobic plant extracts, fatty acids, essential oils, silicone oils, and mixtures thereof;
- wherein a weight ratio between said cleansing phase and said benefit phase is from about 1:99 to about 99:1 and said cleansing phase and benefit phase are in physical contact in the same package and remain stable in ambient conditions for at least about 180 days;
- and wherein said cleansing phase and benefit phase form a pattern;
- and wherein at least one phase comprises a polymeric phase structurant;
- and wherein said visually distinct phase are stable.
A multi-phase personal care composition comprising:
- at least two visually distinct phases comprising;
- a) a first phase comprising a cleansing phase comprising from about 2% to about 90%, by weight of the cleansing phase, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, soap and mixtures thereof;
- wherein said cleansing phase is non-Newtonian shear thinning, has a viscosity of equal to or greater than about 3,000 cps;
- and
- b) a separate non-lathering structured aqueous phase;
- and
- wherein the ratio of the cleansing phase to the non-lathering structured aqueous phase is from about 90:1 to about 1:90;
- wherein the cleansing phase and non-lathering structured aqueous phase are present as a pattern;
- and wherein at least one phase comprises a polymeric phase structurant;
- and wherein said visually distinct phase are stable.
