  • Publication number: 20230159863
    Abstract: Populations of benefit agent delivery particles are disclosed, the particles having a core and a shell encapsulating the core, the shell comprising certain multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based polymers, along with processes for making and uses of such compositions. The delivery particle has a core to polymer wall ratio by weight from about 96:4 to about 99.5 to 0.5 and a volume-weighted particle size from about 30 to about 50 microns. The compositions deliver core content with a desired delivery profile, such as fragrance delivery at desired touchpoints with higher efficiency. The delivery particle has high pay load, yet exhibits decreased benefit agent leakage, and provides a desired delivery profile.

  • Publication number: 20220409497
    Abstract: The present application relates to encapsulated benefit agents, compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents and processes for making and using compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents. Such encapsulated benefit agents eliminate or minimize one or more of the drawbacks of current encapsulated benefit agents and thus provide formulators with additional perfume delivery opportunities.
