Disclosed is a non-spherical microcapsule comprising a core comprising fatty ester having a melting point of at least 30&#xb0; C. and a benefit agent; a shell comprising nanoparticles having a diameter of 10 to 300 nm.

Non-spherical microcapsule

Disclosed is a non-spherical microcapsule comprising a core comprising a benefit agent, and a shell comprising nanoparticles having a diameter of 10 to 300 nm and polyurea.

Disclosed is a personal care composition comprising (a) particle comprising chitosan salt at the outer surface of the particle; and (b) functionalized non-volatile silicone, wherein the amount of the functionalized non-volatile silicone is greater than 20% by weight of the total non-volatile silicone.

Personal care compositions comprising surface-modified particles and non-volatile funcationalised silicone

Disclosed is a personal care composition comprising: a) particle comprising chitosan salt at the outer surface of the particle; and b) silicone component selected from dimethicone, aminosilicone or a mixture thereof, wherein the silicone component has a viscosity of at least 5,000 cSt at 25&#xb0; C.

Personal care composition comprising particles

Disclosed is a benefit agent delivery particle comprising a benefit agent; and a chitosan salt at the outer surface of the particle, wherein the chitosan salt comprises a chitosan component and amino acid anion, wherein the amino acid comprises phenylalamine; the amino acid does not comprises tyrosine; and the amino acid does not comprises histidine or the amino acid comprises no greater than 20% of histidine by mole of the total amino acid, wherein the benefit agent comprises fragrance, pro-fragrance, hair conditioning agent, anti-dandruff agent, moisturizers, emollients, dyes, pigments, color care additives, or a mixture thereof.

Benefit delivery particle comprising a phenylalanine chitosan salt

A process for the preparation of a particle, wherein the particle comprises: (a) a core comprising a hydrophobic benefit agent; (b) an outer crosslinked shell, which comprises a crosslinked, hydrophobically modified polyvinyl alcohol, which comprises a crosslinking agent comprising a first dextran aldehyde having a molecular weight of from 2,000 to 2,000,000 Da; and (c) an inner polyamide shell, wherein the shell comprises a polyamide, and wherein the polyamide comprises an aromatic group; wherein the outer crosslinked shell is formed prior to the formation of the inner polyamide shell.

Improvements relating to encapsulated benefit agents

The invention provides a composition comprising a benefit agent delivery particle comprising dextran as a delivery aid. The benefit agent delivery particle may further comprise a non-polysaccharide polymer, preferably an aminoplast polymer. The benefit agent delivery particle may comprise a perfume. The invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the particles in which perfume oil is encapsulated using emulsion polymerization to form core-shell particles, (in the alternative the perfume may be adsorbed later) and, a further polymer layer is formed on the outer surface of the core shell-particles in the presence of the delivery aid.

Benefit agent delivery particles comprising dextran

The invention provides a benefit agent delivery particle comprising hydroxylpropyl cellulose. The benefit agent delivery particle may further comprise a non-polysaccharide polymer, preferably an aminoplast polymer. The benefit agent delivery particle may comprise a perfume. The invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the particles in which perfume oil is encapsulated using emulsion polymerization to form core-shell particles, (in the alternative the perfume may be adsorbed later) and, a further polymer layer is formed on the outer surface of the core shell-particles in the presence of the delivery aid.

Fabric treatment compositions comprising targeted benefit agents

The invention provides improved deposition and reduced leakage benefits from a particle comprising: (a) a core comprising a benefit agent; (b) a shell, wherein the shell comprises a crosslinked, hydrophobically modified polyvinyl alcohol, which comprises a crosslinking agent comprising i) a first dextran aldehyde having a molecular weight of from 2,000 to 50,000 Da; and ii) a second dextran aldehyde having a molecular weight of from greater than 50,000 to 2,000,000 Da.
