HIGH MOISTURE RETAINING STRUCTURING SYSTEM FOR DETERGENT COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention relates to a structuring system having hydrated sodium carbonate, which holds high levels of moisture. The present invention also relates to detergent composition and in particular detergent bars having the structuring system without compromising on bar properties. It is an object of the present invention to provide a detergent composition containing the structuring system that retains high levels of moisture without negatively affecting the physical appearance or other sensory attributes. We have found that the object of the invention can be achieved by the structuring system of the present invention. In particular, it was surprisingly found that an improved structuring system having a combination of hydrated sodium carbonate and a hydrated aluminium material, silica material or a mixture thereof can be used to provide detergent composition that is capable of retaining high levels of moisture without compromising on the physical properties and sensorial attributes.
