Abstract

See full text

A method of forming an aqueous treatment liquor comprising a benefit agent, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a consumer product comprising: (i) a porous dissolvable solid structure, and (ii) a hydrophobic coating comprising a benefit agent, the hydrophobic coating applied to the porous dissolvable solid structure, wherein the hydrophobic coating has a first viscosity; (b) providing an aqueous solution; and (c) dissolving the consumer product in the aqueous solution to form an aqueous treatment liquor comprising a hydrophobic portion and an aqueous portion, wherein the aqueous portion has a second viscosity. A ratio of the first viscosity of the hydrophobic coating to the second viscosity of the aqueous portion of the aqueous treatment liquor is less than about 100:1.
