Abstract
A non-lathering personal care article in the form of a porous dissolvable solid structure, comprising: from about 0% to about 10% ionic surfactant; from about 1% to about 60% of a non-surfactant cosmetic active; from about 15% to about 70% polymeric structurant, wherein the polymeric structurant has a weighted average molecular weight of from about 40,000 to about 500,000; and from about 1% to about 30% plasticizer. The article has a density of from about 0.03 g/cm3 to about 0.15 g/cm3.
Claims11
A substantially non-lathering personal care article in the form of a porous dissolvable solid structure, comprising:
- (a) from about 0% to about 10% ionic surfactant;
- (b) from about 1% to about 60% of an active selected from the group consisting of a conditioning agent, styling agent, anti-dandruff agent and combinations thereof;
- (c) from about 15% to about 70% polymeric structurant, wherein said polymeric structurant has a weighted average molecular weight of from about 40,000 to about 500,000;
- (d) from about 1% to about 50% of a substantially non-lathering surfactant wherein the non-lathering surfactant is selected from the group consisting of non-ionic surfactant, polymeric surfactant and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (e) from about 1% to about 30% plasticizer;
- wherein said article has a density of from about 0.06 g/cm3 to about 0.15 g/cm3.
