A photosensitive microcapsule having a shell encapsulating a core material. The core material can comprise a benefit agent and the shell can comprise a photosensitive polymer. The photosensitive polymer can include one or more photosensitive moieties having a substituted amine and a 1,3 dione moiety. The core material can be released from the photosensitive microcapsule upon exposure to an electromagnetic radiation field selected from the group consisting of infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation and mixtures thereof.

Photosensitive microcapsules

There is provided a core-shell particle comprising a polymer conjugate encapsulating an active agent, wherein the polymer conjugate comprises a biocompatible polymer and a polyacidic polymer. There is also provided a process for forming the core-shell particle, a delivery vehicle comprising the core-shell particle and a method for delivering an active agent to a desired site.

Core-shell particle

The present application relates to encapsulates, compositions, products comprising such encapsulates, and processes for making and using such encapsulates. Such encapsulates comprise a core comprising a perfume and a shell that encapsulates said core, such encapsulates may optionally comprise a parametric balancing agent, such shell comprising one or more azobenzene moieties.

Encapsulates

The invention provides an absorbent article, at least a portion of which has a protease inhibitor incorporated therein to decrease the activity of proteases that may otherwise initiate or contribute to inflammation of the skin of a wearer of the article resulting in skin irritation or dermatitis. The article can further comprise a delivery system for releasably containing and delivering the protease inhibitor to at least a portion of the skin of the wearer. The delivery system can comprise a skin care composition and at least a portion of the composition, including the protease inhibitor, is automatically transferred from the article to the wearer's skin without manual intervention during normal usage of the article to form a defense against protease activity. Most preferably, repeated application of similarly treated articles to the wearer's skin provides an available source from which the protease inhibitor continuously transfers onto the skin over time and accumulates to provide a proactive defense against protease activity for the reduction or prevention of skin irritation or dermatitis due to proteolytic enzymes.

Protease inhibitors in absorbent articles

The present invention encompasses topical oral care compositions comprising the combination of an anti-bacterial agent with an anti-inflammatory agent in an orally acceptable carrier for effective treatment and prevention of bacteria-mediated diseases and conditions in the oral cavity and for modulating host reaction to bacterial pathogens present in the oral cavity and to the toxins, endotoxins, inflammatory cytokines and mediators released by or prompted by these pathogens. The present invention also encompasses methods of use of these compositions comprising topical application to the oral cavity. The benefits of the present compositions and methods extend beyond treating and preventing oral bacterial infections in the oral cavity to promoting whole body or systemic health.

Oral care compositions containing combinations of anti-bacterial and host-response modulating agents

Methods and devices for repelling insects are disclosed. The methods and devices provide personal protection from insect bites and insect landings, particularly mosquito bites. The methods and devices employ insect repellents such as pyrethroids at low (parts per billion) levels. The methods and devices effectively minimize the number of mosquitoes landing on a subject properly using the devices.

Enzyme Inhibitors

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods which are useful for the prevention and treatment of adverse health, skin, hair, and oral conditions. The compounds, compositions, and methods are also widely applicable for use in health, skin, hair, oral, beauty, and personal care applications. In particular, the present invention relates to compounds having the structure: ##STR1## and the tautomers, acceptable salts, and biohydrolyzable amides, esters, and imides thereof, wherein A, Q, n, P, L.sub.1, L.sub.2, L.sub.3, L.sub.4, Z, X, B.sub.1, and B.sub.2 are defined herein.
