The present invention relates to ancillary laundry compositions providing improved softening to fabrics. In particular ancillary laundry compositions comprising silicones and low levels of surfactants.
Textile fabrics, including clothes can often feel harsh after the laundry process. To reduce the harshness experienced after multiple wash cycles, technologies have been developed to increase the softness of fabrics post wash. These technologies include fabric conditioner compositions and softening systems added to detergent compositions.

However there is a need to improve the softness benefit provided. It has been found that compositions according to the present invention provide superior softening than traditional laundry compositions comprising fabric softening silicones.
In a first aspect of the present invention is provided an ancillary laundry composition comprising:
In a second aspect of the present invention is provided a method of laundering fabrics, wherein the fabrics are treated with a laundry detergent composition and an ancillary laundry composition comprising:
(a) 2 to 60 w.t. % fabric softening silicone;

(d) Water.
In a third aspect of the present invention is provided a use of the ancillary laundry composition disclosed herein to enhance the benefits provided by silicone to a fabric.
Product Form
The present invention is concerned with ancillary laundry compositions. These are compositions intended to be used in addition to the consumer's regular laundry products. For example in addition to a wash detergent and/or rinse added fabric conditioners. However consumers may choose to use the product in anyway. The ancillary laundry composition may be added into that wash liquor at any point in the wash cycle.

Preferably the silicone is a functionalised silicone.
The molecular weight of the silicone is preferably from 1,000 to 500,000, more preferably from 2,000 to 250,000 even more preferably from 5,000 to 100,000.
Preferably the silicone is an anionic functionalised silicone. Examples of fabric softening anionic silicones suitable for the current invention include silicones containing the following functionalities; carboxylic, sulphate, sulphonic, phosphate and/or phosphonate functionality.

More preferably the anionic silicone of the present invention comprises carboxyl functionalised silicones. Most preferably the anionic silicone of the current invention is a carboxyl silicone.
For the purposes of the current invention, the anionic silicone may be in the form of the acid or the anion. For example for a carboxyl functionalised silicone, may be present as a carboxylic acid or carboxylate anion.

The terms ‘terminal position’ and ‘at the end of the silicone chain’ are used to indicate the terminus of the silicone chain.
When the silicones are linear in nature, there are two ends to the silicone chain. In this case the anionic silicone preferably contains no anionic groups located on a terminal position of the silicone.
When the silicones are branched in nature, the terminal position is deemed to be the two ends of the longest linear silicone chain. Preferably no anionic functionality is not located on the terminus of the longest linear silicone chain.

Viscosity
The composition of the present invention preferably has a viscosity of less than 15000 Pa·s. Preferably the present invention has a viscosity of more than 400 Pa·s. Viscosity measurements were carried out at 25° C., using a 4 cm diameter 2° cone and plate geometry on a DHR-2 rheometer ex. TA instruments.
In detail, all measurements were conducted using a TA-Instruments DHR-2 rheometer with a 4 cm diameter 2 degree angle cone and plate measuring system. The lower Peltier plate was used to control the temperature of the measurement to 25° C. The measurement protocol was a ‘flow curve’ where the applied shear stress is varied logarithmically from 0.01 Pa to 400 Pa with 10 measurement points per decade of stress. At each stress the shear strain rate is measured over the last 5 seconds of the 10 second period over which the stress is applied with the viscosity at that stress being calculated as the quotient of the shear stress and shear rate.
For those systems which exhibit a low shear viscosity plateau over large shear stress ranges, to at least 1 Pa, the characteristic viscosity is taken as being the viscosity at a shear stress of 0.3 Pa. For those systems where the viscosity response is shear thinning from low shear stress the characteristic viscosity is taken as being the viscosity at a shear rate of 21 s-1.

Salts and alkalis were added and mixed for 5 minutes prior to addition of surfactants and fatty acid. The mixture was exothermic and allowed to cool to <30° C. The deposition polymer2 (when present), silicone emulsion1 (when present) and any remaining components such as perfume, preservatives and dyes are added.
Method of Producing Example Serum:
Demineralised water was added to the silicone emulsion1 and mixed for 15 mins at 250 rpm using a Janke & Kunkel IKA RW20 overhead mixer. The solid deposition polymer2 was added slowly over the top and mix for further 20 mins increasing the rotor speed to effect visible bulk mixing.
Comparison of Formulations:
A wash cycle was carried out using 6 (20 cm×20 cm) pieces of terry towelling and a polycotton ballast. The total wash load was 2.0 kg. The towelling was mixed with the ballast fabric in a random order before adding into a Miele front loading washing machine.
Detergent was Added as Follows:
Wash A: 100 g Laundry detergent with silicone
Wash 1: 100 g Laundry detergent without silicone and 10 g Ancillary Laundry Composition to the wash drawer
The machine was programed to a standard 40° C. cotton cycle. The towelling swatches were line dried between wash cycles. 5 wash cycles were performed.
The towels were measured for softness using a Phabrometer® ex. Nu Cybertek, Inc.
Despite having slightly lower levels of silicone and deposition polymer in Wash 1, the fabric is significantly softer.
