Abstract
The present invention provides rinse-active foam-control particles for inclusion in a detergent composition in powder form, consisting essentially of a soap of fatty acids of which at least 80% contain from 16 to 18 carbon atoms, the geometric mean particle size of the particles being inferior to 1 mm, preferably inferior to 0.4 mm. The present invention also encompasses a process for making said foam-control agents, as well as high sud and low sud executions of detergent compositions containing said foam-control particles.
