  • Publication number: 20220106540
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one composition for home care, and at least one solid microcapsule having an average diameter of between 1 ?m and 30 ?m, comprising a core consisting of a composition C1 comprising at least one perfuming agent, and a solid shell of crosslinked polymer totally encapsulating the core at its periphery, said solid shell comprising a crosslinked polymer obtained by polymerization of at least one monomer or polymer bearing at least one reactive function selected from the group consisting of acrylate, methacrylate, vinyl ether, N-vinyl ether, vinyl ester, thiolene, maleate, epoxy, siloxane, amine, lactone, phosphate and carboxylate functions, and wherein the thickness of the soli shell is between 0.1 ?m and 20 ?m.

  • Patent number: 11246823
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of molecularly imprinted polymer(s) or MIPs, of odorous molecule(s), as deodorant agent in particular for selectively trapping molecules that are the cause of human body odour. More particularly by using MIPs which may be obtained via polymerization of “sol-gel” type; it being understood that the polymerization is performed in the presence v) of one or more “templates” of target molecule(s) responsible for human body odour. Another subject of the invention concerns a NI process for preparing MIPs as defined previously, MIPs obtained via this process, and a cosmetic composition comprising at least one MIP as defined previously. Unexpectedly, it appears that the MIPs make it possible to specifically trap precursors of odorous molecules and odorous molecules that may be used in cosmetic formulations, especially those that are the cause of the unpleasant odour of sweat.
