C.sub.8-18 alkyl aldonolactone esters which have anionic and nonionic surfactant characteristics are disclosed. A process for preparing the esters enzymatically as well as personal product, cosmetic, detergent and oral hygiene compositions containing the compounds which take advantage of their dual surfactant quality, are also disclosed.

Transglutaminase crosslinks proteins by catalyzing the formation of isopeptide bonds between lysine and glutamine residues. Transglutaminase may be used to crosslink beneficial actives containing an amine moiety to glutamine residues in skin, hair or nails. A variety of beneficial actives, e.g., sunscreens, antimicrobial compounds, skin conditioning agents, hair conditioning agents, anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidants, coloring agents, perfumes, insect repellants, can thus be delivered to human skin, hair, or nails.

Covalent bonding of active agents to skin, hair or nails

The present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions which contain capsules which capsules protect sensitive ingredients therein. The capsule, in addition to a protecting sensitive ingredients, contains an oil dispersion containing the active and a polymer shell surrounding the dispersion. The oil is defined by its ability to meet a tripartite definition and the shell is a water soluble or water dispersible polymer as defined.

Compositions comprising capsule comprising oil surrounding hydrophobic

The present invention relates to a novel capsule for protecting sensitive ingredients in detergent compositions. The capsule, in addition to a protected sensitive ingredient, contains an oil dispersion containing the active and a polymer shell surrounding the dispersion. The oil is defined by its ability to meet a tripartite definition and the shell is a water soluble or water dispersible polymer as defined.
