Abstract: A reactive active compound is brought in a liquid. Said liquid, containing said active compound, is encapsulated by a surrounding shell layer and comprises an emulsion of a first liquid in a second liquid. Said active compound is dispersed in said first liquid. Said first liquid, containing said active compound, is dispersed in a second liquid that is substantially immiscible with said first liquid to form said emulsion. Said emulsion is encapsulated by said shell layer to preserve said reactive active compound in one or more a capsules that may be applied in a formulation.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising a plurality of capsules and a cosmetic base is provided.

Abstract: A micro-fluidic system, comprising at least one first nozzle (10) that releases at least one liquid jet (15) of a first liquid into a gaseous atmosphere and a second nozzle (20) that releases a liquid film jet (25) of a second liquid in said gaseous atmosphere. Said first jet (15) is directed to be incident of said liquid film (25) at an interaction area (50). Collecting means (40) are provided for receiving an interaction product (55) of said first and second liquid downstream of said interaction area. Support means (30) are provided, having a support surface (35) that receives and supports said liquid film (25) of said second liquid from said second nozzle (20). Said support surface (35) carries said liquid film to said interaction area (55) and said interaction area (55) is supported by said support surface (35).
