Abstract:
A stable, aqueous odor-absorbing composition comprising:(A) an effective amount to absorb malodors of solubilized, uncomplexed cyclodextrin; (B) an effective amount to improve acceptance of the composition of a stable emulsion or dispersion of perfume, containing at least about 50%, by weight of the perfume of perfume ingredients that have a ClogP of more than about 3 and a molecular weight of more than about 210, said emulsion or dispersion having a droplet size that will not readily interact with said cyclodextrin; (C) optionally, an effective amount to improve the performance of the composition, of cyclodextrin compatible surfactant; (D) optionally, an effective amount, to kill, or reduce the growth of microbes, of cyclodextrin compatible and water soluble antimicrobial active; (E) optionally, from about 0.01% to about 3% by weight of the composition of low molecular weight polyol; (F) optionally, from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition of aminocarboxylate chelator; (G) optionally, but preferably, an effective amount of metallic salt for improved odor benefit; (H) optionally, an effective amount of solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative; (I) optionally, from about 0.001% to about 3% water soluble anionic polymers; and (J) aqueous carrier that contains up to 5% alcohol, wherein the combination of (A) and (B) is compatible.
