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.

Abstract: Cosmetic or personal care compositions comprise from 0.01% to 10% by weight of a hair styling polymer comprising one or more hydrophobic groups, from 0.001% to 10% by weight of an optionally substituted cyclodextrin and a cosmetically acceptable diluent or carrier. The cyclodextrin complexes with the hydrophobic groups to increase the solubility of the hair styling polymer in the composition. The cyclodextrin thus allows the formulation of compositions with relatively higher water contents.

Abstract: A wipe having at least two sides for applying a cleansing material and a drying material to a skin surface. The cleansing material may be applied to a first side of the wipe, and the drying material to a second side of the wipe. The first side of the wipe is used to clean a skin surface by rubbing the wipe across the skin surface. The first side of the wipe removes dirt, grease and other materials from the skin surface. The second side of the wipe removes any dirt, grease or other materials not removed by the first side of the wipe and the cleansing material. The second side of the wipe also leaves a substance having a powdery feel on the skin surface.
