Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a personal care product comprising combining a fragrance, a propellant and porous carrier particles, to produce a composition substantially free of pre-encapsulated fragrance particles, and containing the composition in a pressurized container. Also provided is a personal care product comprising a pressurized container and a composition contained therein, which includes a fragrance, a propellant and porous carrier particles, wherein the composition is substantially free pre-encapsulated fragrance particles. When the composition is released from the container, the propellant evaporates rapidly to produce a matrix, which incorporates the fragrance into the pores of the carrier, to produce a sustained-release fragrance delivery system.

Abstract: A process for providing indicia to the surface of an article. The process comprising the steps of: providing an article having material initially forming at least a portion of its exterior surface; coating at least part of the material whereat indicia is to be provided to thereby form a film; contacting, with radiation from a radiation beam, indicia areas of the film intended to be provided with indicia, the radiation thereby removing the film and modifying the surface of the material of the indicia areas and also forming a mask in the non-indicia areas of the film; applying an ink to the indicia areas thereby forming the indicia on the surface; drying the ink; and removing the film.
