20100104611ANTIPERSPIRANT COMPOSITIONS - Anhydrous antiperspirant compositions comprising particulate antiperspirant active; capsules comprising a shear-sensitive shell which encapsulates perfume; and a carrier for the particulate antiperspirant active and capsules; wherein the capsules have a shell of cross-linked gelatin coacervate having a thickness of from 0.25 to 9 μm and providing from 10 to 40% by weight of the capsules, a volume average particle diameter of from 25 to 70 μm, a ratio of shell thickness to the average particle diameter in the range of from 1:5 to 1:120, and a Hysitron hardness in the range of from 1.5 MPa to 50 MPa.04-29-2010
20100104612ANTIPERSPIRANT COMPOSITIONS - Fragrance leaches rapidly from capsules having shells made from cross linked gelatin into volatile silicone oils. Unfortunately such oils are much favoured for anhydrous antiperspirant compositions. The rate and extent of leaching can be ameliorated greatly or nearly halted by employing as carrier oil, an ester oil or an ether oil, even in the presence of a significant fraction of volatile silicone oil. Consequently, the capability of antiperspirant compositions to generate detectable fragrance over an extended period after application to the skin is improved by employing ester or ether oil as all or part of the carrier liquid in which the antiperspirant is suspended.04-29-2010
20100104613ANTIPERSPIRANT OR DEODORANT COMPOSITIONS - It is desirable for antiperspirant or deodorant roll-on compositions to be able to deliver fragrance over an extended period of time after application, but previously contemplated encapsulates were based on starch or similar water-soluble or dispersible shell materials, rendering them ineffective in aqueous emulsions.04-29-2010
