Claim Text:
1. A visually patterned oriented composition comprising: a) at least a first visually distinguishable zone comprising visible particles having an aspect ratio greater than 1.5:1 and a particle size of 50 μm to 5000 μm in a longest dimension, the visible particles having their larger dimension oriented in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of flow of the first visually distinguishable zone; and b) at least a second visually distinguishable zone in physical contact with the at least first visually distinguishable zone, wherein the at least first visually distinguishable zone and the at least second visually distinguishable zone form a visibly distinguishable pattern, wherein the composition includes a crosslinked polycarboxylate thickener as a structural material, present in the at least first visually distinguishable zone, that retains the orientation of the visible particles in the composition, wherein the composition is packaged in a container using laminar flow; substantially means that the visible particles plane and the plane of flow do not intersect within the container, and wherein the visually patterned oriented composition is a liquid, a gel or a foam.
