Abstract: Described is a human epidermal and/or human hair treatment composition of (i) fragrance and/or malodour counteractant and (ii) fragrance- and/or malodour counteractant-compatible solvent-containing microcapsules provided in a suspension gel or emulsion. Also described is a method for delivery of fragrance and beneficial agents to the human epidermal surface area region treatment and/or human hair treatment wherein the microcapsules remain on the human epidermis and/or on the hair follicles for a substantial period of time subsequent to their application and the microcapsules are ruptured over a period of time, thereby effecting both an initial delivery of fragrance and beneficial agent subsequent to rubbing, and, in addition, a controlled release of fragrance and beneficial agents into to the treated human epidermis and/or hair follicles.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to encapsulated fragrance materials. The fragrance materials are comprised of high Clog P materials or high Clog P fragrance materials along with high Clog P solvent materials. The encapsulated fragrance and solvent materials can then be further coated with a second coating, preferably a cationic coating. The selective use of solvents enables the fragrance and fragrance materials to remain in the capsules for extended periods of time without leaching from the capsule. The leaching of the flavor or fragrance materials is a problem especially in products that contain a high loading of surfactant or emulsifying materials such as laundry and oral care products.
