Abstract: A biodegradable delivery particle having a benefit agent containing core and a shell.

Abstract: A solid article for sustained delivery of volatile materials in an interior space that is subject to temperature fluctuations of at least 5° C. Such solid article comprises one or more non-aqueous volatile materials in a chemically cross-linked gel. The chemically cross-linked gel is formed by mixing one or more polyols or derivatives thereof with a cross-linking agent at a weight ratio of from 1:0.1 to 1:0.8, and the solid article is characterized by a thermal conductivity of from 0.16 W/mK to 0.2 W/mK.

Abstract: The gel compositions as described herein, are less affected by changes in humidity, are readily formed into complex shapes, and can contain high loadings of the hydrophobic material, even when the material is not highly hydrophobic, and provide a more controlled release of the hydrophobic material.

Abstract: The gel compositions as described herein, are less affected by changes in humidity, are readily formed into complex shapes, and can contain high loadings of the hydrophobic material, even when the material is not highly hydrophobic, and provide a more controlled release of the hydrophobic material. It is believed that the slow release is achieved by forming the gel to have a tight cross-linked network with small pore-size. The pore size is correlated to the average correlation length as measured using Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS). By limiting the average correlation length to less than 8 nm, preferably from 0.3 nm to 8 nm, more preferably from 0.3 nm to 4 nm, a long lasting release of the hydrophobic material is achieved, rather than a blooming effect, whereby the hydrophobic material is released in a short burst.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid fabric softener compositions comprising a quaternary ammonium ester softening active, cellulose fibers, and benefit agent capsules comprising a core and a shell encapsulating said core, wherein said shell comprises polyacrylate polymer, as well as methods of treating fabric and using same. Such liquid fabric softener compositions provide similar deposition of different types of fabric material.

Abstract: A freshening composition is provided. The composition includes at least one particle, and an aqueous carrier. The composition includes a polysaccharide system having a first polysaccharide and a second polysaccharide. The first polysaccharide is xanthan gum and the second polysaccharide is selected from the group consisting of konjac gum, locust bean gum, tara gum, and combinations thereof. The composition may include an unencapsulated perfume.

Abstract: A liquid fabric softener composition and processes for making and using same. In particular a liquid fabric softener composition comprising a structurant providing the desired viscosity which remains stable over time.

Abstract: The present application relates processes that can be used to produce encapsulated benefit agents comprising a core and a shell that encapsulates said core, encapsulated benefit agents produced by such process and products comprising such encapsulated benefit agents as well as methods of making and using such products. Such process can be used to produce particles that offer the desired protection and release benefits when used in a varity of products.

Abstract: The need for a liquid hand dishwashing composition which provides for uniform dosing, even when the bottle is shaken or when the user dispenses using multiple successive squeezes, is met by formulating the liquid hand dishwashing composition with an anionic surfactant, a co-surfactant, and microfibrous cellulose derived from wood.
