Abstract: The combination of an enzyme substrate and an enzyme capable of accelerating the modification of said substrate, provides a triggered release system which works especially well. The use of the enzyme-triggered release system can retain a rinse benefit agent during the wash stage and release it during the subsequent rinse stage.

Abstract: A core shell microcapsule wherein the liquid core of the microcapsule comprises solvent and climbazole dissolved in the solvent in a weight ratio of at most 8:1, preferably at most 5:1, solvent:climbazole. Also a process to manufacture the core shell microcapsule comprising the steps of: a) Dissolving climbazole in solvent to form an oil phase; b) Mixing the oil phase with an oil soluble first component of a shell forming polymerization system; c) Dispersing the mixture from step b in an aqueous phase which either contains, or has added to it, a water soluble second component of a shell forming polymerization system; d) Forming microcapsules by reaction of the first and second components of the polymerization system to encapsulate the climbazole dissolved in the solvent; and e) Optionally separating the formed microcapsules from the aqueous phase. Also a hair care composition comprising surfactant and at least 0.

Abstract: A particle comprising:—(a) a spacer which is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain with molecular weight Mw (and therefore the required length) of the spacer extending from the particle from 3000 to 400,000; (b) a deposition aid; and (c) a benefit agent, wherein the spacer is attached directly to the particle and the deposition aid is attached to the end of the spacer.
