  • Patent number: 10920177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions of benefit agent containing delivery particles and slurries comprising benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising the particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. Such slurries and benefit agent containing delivery particles are stable and when employed in compositions, for example, cleaning or fabric care compositions, the particles in such slurries increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, thereby allowing reduced amounts of benefit agents to be employed. In addition to allowing the amount of benefit agent to be reduced, such particles allow a broad range of benefit agents to be employed. The compositions can comprise particles, cakes, powders, particulates, aggregates, aggregate clusters and slurries comprising the benefit agent containing delivery particles.
