Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0108658A1] The present invention relates to a substantially dry, disposable personal care article comprising: a) a water insoluble substrate comprising: 1) a nonwoven first layer; 2) a second layer which is disposed adjacent to said first layer; b) a cleansing component disposed adjacent to said first and second layers, wherein said component comprises: 1) from about 10% to about 1000%, by weight of the water insoluble substrate, of a lathering surfactant; wherein said article exhibits the following surfactant dissolution related physical properties individually or in combination with one another. The properties exhibited include a Dynamic Surface Tension Value of less than about 54 dynes/cm<2> in beaker 1 and greater than about 60 dynes/cm<2> in beaker 5, a Flash Lather Volume of from about 500 ml to about 3500 ml, a Latherability of from about 500 ml to about 7000 ml, a Surfactant Dissolution Extent of greater than about 30 ml in beaker 1, greater than about 30 ml in beaker 4 and less than about 90 ml in beaker 8, and a Lather Dissipation Time of from about 5 sec to about 62 sec. The present invention further relates to articles which further comprise a therapeutic benefit component. Each of the present articles has been found to be particularly useful for personal cleansing applications, namely for the skin and hair.
