Alkyl aery late-acrylic acid copolymer capsules are taught in Brown et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,552,81 1 . Each patent described throughout this application is incorporated herein by reference to the extent each provides guidance regarding microencapsulation processes and materials.

[04] Interfacial polymerization is a process wherein a microcapsule wall or polyamide, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane, a polyurea or the like is formed at an interface between two phases. Riecke, U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,267 discloses an interfacial polymerization technique for preparation of microcapsules. The core material is initially dissolved in a solvent and an aliphatic diisocyanate soluble in the solvent mixture is added. Subsequently, a nonsolvent for the aliphatic diisocyanate is added until the turbidity point is just barely reached. This organic phase is then emulsified in an aqueous solution, and a reactive amine is added to the aqueous phase. The amine diffuses to the interface, where it reacts with the diisocyanate to form polymeric polyurethane shells. A similar technique, used to encapsulate salts which are sparingly soluble in water in polyurethane shells, is disclosed in Greiner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,547,429. Matson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,516,941 teaches polymerization reactions in which the material to be encapsulated, or core material, is dissolved in an organic, hydrophobic oil phase which is dispersed in an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase has dissolved materials forming aminoplast (amine and aldehyde) resin which upon polymerization form the wall of the microcapsule. A dispersion of fine oil droplets is prepared using high shear agitation. Addition of an acid catalyst initiates the polycondensation forming the aminoplast resin within the aqueous phase, resulting in the formation of an aminoplast polymer which is insoluble in both phases. As the polymerization advances, the aminoplast polymer separates from the aqueous phase and deposits on the surface of the dispersed droplets of the oil phase to form a capsule wall at the interface of the two phases, thus encapsulating the core material. Urea-formaldehyde (UF), urea-resorcinol-formaldehyde (URF), urea-melamine-formaldehyde (UMF), and melamine-formaldehyde (MF), capsule formations proceed in a like manner. In interfacial polymerization, the materials to form the capsule wall are in separate phases, one in an aqueous phase and the other in an oil phase. Polymerization occurs at the phase boundary. Thus, a polymeric capsule shell wall forms at the interface of the two phases thereby encapsulating the core material. Wall formation of polyester, polyamide, and polyurea capsules also typically proceed via interfacial polymerization.

[05] Jahns, U.S. Pat. No. 5,292,835 teaches polymerizing esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with polyfunctional monomers. Specifically illustrated are reactions of polyvinylpyrrolidone with acrylates such as butanediol diacrylate or methylmethacrylate together with a free radical initiator.

[06] Common microencapsulation processes can be viewed as a series of steps. First, the core material which is to be encapsulated is typically emulsified or dispersed in a suitable dispersion medium. This medium is typically aqueous but involves the formation of a polymer rich phase. Most frequently, this medium is a solution of the intended capsule wall material. The solvent characteristics of the medium are changed such as to cause phase separation of the wall material. The wall material is thereby contained in a liquid phase which is also dispersed in the same medium as the intended capsule core material. The liquid wall material phase deposits itself as a continuous coating about the dispersed droplets of the internal phase or capsule core material. The wall material is then solidified. This process is commonly known as coacervation.

[07] The capsules according to the invention are useful with a wide variety of capsule contents ("core materials") including, by way of illustration and without limitation, internal phase oils, solvent oils, phase change materials, lubricants, dyes, perfumes, fragrances, cleaning oils, polishing oils, flavorants, nutrients, sweeteners, chromogens, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, herbicides, biological actives, scents, and the like. The microcapsule core materials can include materials which alter rheology or flow characteristics, or extend shelf life or product stability. Essential oils as core materials can include, for example, by way of illustration wintergreen oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil, lemon oil, lime oil, orange oil, peppermint oil and the like. Dyes can include fluorans, lactones, indolyl red, I6B, leuco dyes, all by way of illustration and not limitation. The core material typically should be dispersible or sufficiently soluble in the capsule internal phase material namely in the internal phase oil or soluble or dispersible in the monomers or oligomers solubilized or dispersed in the internal phase oil. The core materials are preferably liquid but can be solid depending on the materials selected, and with temperatures appropriately adjusted to effect dispersion.

[08] Jabs et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,947, 152 teaches microcapsules with polyurea walls. The wall is the reaction product of an aromatic isocyanate with an isocyanate reactive group. The isocyanate reactive group can include di- and polyamines such as N- hydroxyethylethylenediamine, ethylene-1 ,2-diamine.

[09] Hotz et al., U.S. Pat. Pub. 2013/0089590 teaches a fragrance microcapsule with a polyurea wall. The shell in the reaction product of at least two difunctional isocyanates and a difunctional amine.

[010] EP 1693104 Maruyyama discloses microcapsules having a polyurethane or polyurea wall obtained from polycondensation of a polyfunctional isocyanate with a polyfunctional amine.

[01 1 ] Schwantes, U.S. Pat. Pub. 2009/0274905 teaches cationic microcapsule particles where the wall is the reaction product of an amine acrylate with a multifunctional methacrylate in the presence of an acid and initiator; or alternatively an acid acrylate and multifunctional (meth)acrylate in the presence of a base and initiator.

[012] A need has existed in the art for polyurea or urethane type microcapsules which are robust, which retain capsule contents over time, or until fractured or otherwise made permeable.

[013] The above references do not teach that an improved microcapsule can be achieved comprising a core, the shell being a product of a reaction mixture of a first component comprising an isocyanate; and a second component comprising a water dispersible oligomerized multifunctional amine (meth)acrylate together with a carboxyalkyl(meth)acrylate to yield a robust microcapsule which is resistant to breakage and resistant to solvents. The microcapsules are useful in a variety of challenging environments, such as use with fabric enhancers, laundry, phase change and other industrial and commercial applications.

[0144] For example, the device may be configured for use as an energized air freshener (i.e. powered by electricity; or chemical reactions, such as catalyst fuel systems; or solar powered; or the like). Exemplary energized air freshening devices include a powered delivery assistance means which may include a heating element, fan assembly, or the like. More particularly, the device may be an electrical wall-plug air freshener as described in U.S. 7,223,361 ; a battery (including rechargeable battery) powered air freshener having a heating and/or fan element. In energized devices, the volatile material delivery engine may be placed next to the powered delivery assistance means to diffuse the volatile perfume material. The volatile perfume material may be formulated to optimally diffuse with the delivery assistance means.

[0145] The device may be configured for use as a non-energized air

freshener. An exemplary non-energized air freshener includes a reservoir and, optionally, capillary or wicking means or an emanating surface, to help volatile materials passively diffuse into the air (i.e. without an energized means). A more specific example includes a delivery engine having a liquid reservoir for containing a volatile material and a microporous membrane enclosing the liquid reservoir as disclosed in U.S. 8,709,337 and U.S. 8,931 ,71 1 .

[0146] The device may also be configured for use as an aerosol sprayer or a non-aerosol air sprayer including traditional trigger sprayers as well as trigger sprayer having a pre-compression and/or buffer system for fluid therein. In this embodiment, the delivery engine can deliver volatile materials upon user demand or programmed to automatically deliver volatile materials to the atmosphere.

[0147] The apparatus may also be configured for use with an air purifying system to deliver both purified air and volatile materials to the atmosphere. Non-limiting examples include air purifying systems using ionization and/or filtration technology for use in small spaces (e.g. bedrooms, bathrooms, automobiles, etc.), and whole house central air conditioning/heating systems (e.g. HVAC).

[0158] One aspect of the present invention relates to fabric conditioning compositions which are delivered to fabric via dryer-added substrate that effectively releases the composition in an automatic laundry (clothes) dryer. Such dispensing means can be designed for single usage or for multiple uses. The dispensing means can also be a "carrier material" that releases the fabric conditioning composition and then is dispersed and/or exhausted from the dryer. When the dispensing means is a flexible substrate, e.g., in sheet configuration, the fabric conditioning composition is releasably affixed on the substrate to provide a weight ratio of conditioning composition to dry substrate ranging from about 10: 1 to about 0.5: 1 , preferably from about 5: 1 to about 1 : 1 . To insure release, preferred flexible sheets withstand the dryer environment without decomposing or changing shape, e.g. combusting, creating off odors, or shrinking with heat or moisture. Substrates especially useful herein are rayon and/or polyester non-woven fabrics.

[0159] Non-limiting examples of the substrates useful herein are cellulosic rayon and/or polyester non-woven fabrics having basis weights of from about 0.4 oz/yd 2 to about 1 oz/yd 2 , preferably from about 0.5 oz/yd 2 to about 0.8 oz/yd 2 , more preferably from about 0.5 oz/yd 2 to about 0.6 oz/yd 2 . These substrates are typically prepared using, e.g., rayon and/or polyester fibers having deniers of from about 1 to about 8, preferably from about 3 to about 6, and more preferably about 4 to 6 or mixtures of different deniers. Typically, the fiber is a continuous filament or a 3/16 inch to 2 inch fiber segment that is laid down, in a pattern that results in a multiplicity of layers and intersections between overlayed portions of the filament or fiber, on a belt, preferably foraminous, and then the fiber intersections are glued and/or fused into fiber-to-fiber bonds by a combination of an adhesive binder, and/or heat and/or pressure. As non- limiting examples, the substrate may be spun-bonded, melt-bonded, or point bonded or combinations of bonding processes may be chosen. The substrate breaking strength and elasticity in the machine and cross direction is sufficient to enable the substrate to be conveyed through a coating process. The porosity of the substrate article is sufficient to enable air flow through the substrate to promote conditioning active release and prevent dryer vent blinding. The substrate may also have a plurality of rectilinear slits extended along one dimension of the substrate.

[0160] The dispensing means will normally carry an effective amount of fabric conditioning composition. Such effective amount typically provides sufficient softness, antistatic effect and/or perfume deposition for at least one treatment of a minimum load in an automatic laundry dryer. Amounts of the fabric conditioning composition

irrespective of load size for a single article can vary from about 0.1 g to about 100 g, preferably from about 0.1 g to about 20 g, most preferably from about 0.1 g to about 10 g. Amounts of fabric treatment composition for multiple uses, e.g., up to about 30, can be used.

Emollient

[0191 ] Roll-on compositions can comprise an emollient system including at least one emollient, but it could also be a combination of emollients. Suitable emollients are often liquid under ambient conditions. Depending on the type of product form desired, concentrations of the emollient(s) in the deodorant compositions can range from about 1 % to about 95%, from about 5% to about 95%, from about 15% to about 75%, from about 1 % to about 10%, from about 15% to about 45%, or from about 1 % to about 30%, by weight of the deodorant composition.

Odor Entrapper

[0194] The composition can include an odor entrapper. Suitable odor entrappers for use herein include, for example, solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed

cyclodextrin. As used herein, the term "cyclodextrin" includes any of the known cyclodextrins such as unsubstituted cyclodextrins containing from six to twelve glucose units, especially, alpha-cyclodextrin, beta-cyclodextrin, gamma-cyclodextrin and/or their derivatives and/or mixtures thereof. The alpha-cyclodextrin consists of six glucose units, the beta-cyclodextrin consists of seven glucose units, and the gamma- cyclodextrin consists of eight glucose units arranged in a donut-shaped ring. The specific coupling and conformation of the glucose units give the cyclodextrins a rigid, conical molecular structure with a hollow interior of a specific volume. The "lining" of the internal cavity is formed by hydrogen atoms and glycosidic bridging oxygen atoms, therefore this surface is fairly hydrophobic. The unique shape and physical-chemical property of the cavity enable the cyclodextrin molecules to absorb (form inclusion complexes with) organic molecules or parts of organic molecules which can fit into the cavity. Many perfume molecules can fit into the cavity.

[0195] Cyclodextrin molecules are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,714, 137, and U.S. Patent No. 5,942,217. Suitable levels of cyclodextrin are from about 0.1 % to about 5%, alternatively from about 0.2% to about 4%, alternatively from about 0.3% to about 3%, alternatively from about 0.4% to about 2%, by weight of the composition.

Buffering Agent

[0196] The composition can include a buffering agent which may be alkaline, acidic or neutral. The buffer can be used in the composition for maintaining the desired pH. The composition may have a pH from about 3 to about 10, from about 4 to about 9, from about 5 to about 8, from about 6 to about 7, or it may have a pH of about 6.5. One unique feature of the polyvinyl amine malodor control polymers is its ability to maintain active nitrogen sites at high pH levels which can help enhance the antibacterial effect which comes, at least in part, from the nitrogen sites.

[0197] Suitable buffering agents include, for example, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and combinations thereof.

[0198] The compositions can contain at least about 0%, alternatively at least about 0.001 %, alternatively at least about 0.01 %, by weight of the composition, of a buffering agent. The composition may also contain no more than about 1 %, alternatively no more than about 0.75%, alternatively no more than about 0.5%, by weight of the composition, of a buffering agent.

Solubilizer

[0199] The composition can contain a solubilizer. A suitable solubilizer can be, for example, a surfactant, such as a no-foaming or low-foaming surfactant. Suitable surfactants are nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof.

[0200] Suitable solubilizers include, for example, hydrogenated castor oil, polyoxyethylene 2 stearyl ether, polyoxyethylene 20 stearyl ether, and combinations thereof. One suitable hydrogenated castor oil that may be used in the present composition is polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil.

[0201 ] When the solubilizing agent is present, it is typically present at a level of from about 0.01 % to about 5%, alternatively from about 0.01 % to about 3%, alternatively from about 0.05% to about 1 %, alternatively from about 0.01 % to about 0.05%, by weight of the composition. Preservative

[0202] The composition can include a preservative. The preservative is included in an amount sufficient to prevent spoilage or prevent growth of inadvertently added microorganisms for a specific period of time, but not sufficient enough to contribute to the odor neutralizing performance of the composition. In other words, the preservative is not being used as the antimicrobial compound to kill microorganisms on the surface onto which the composition is deposited in order to eliminate odors produced by microorganisms. Instead, it is being used to prevent spoilage of the composition in order to increase shelf-life.

[0203] The preservative can be any organic preservative material which will not cause damage to fabric appearance, e.g., discoloration, coloration, bleaching. Suitable water-soluble preservatives include organic sulfur compounds, halogenated

compounds, cyclic organic nitrogen compounds, low molecular weight aldehydes, parabens, propane diol materials, isothiazolinones, quaternary compounds, benzoates, low molecular weight alcohols, dehydroacetic acid, phenyl and phenoxy compounds, or mixtures thereof.

[0204] Non-limiting examples of commercially available water-soluble

preservatives include a mixture of about 77% 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and about 23% 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, a broad spectrum preservative available as a 1 .5% aqueous solution under the trade name Kathon® CG by Rohm and Haas Co.; 5-bromo-5-nitro-1 ,3-dioxane, available under the tradename Bronidox L® from Henkel; 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1 ,3-diol, available under the trade name Bronopol® from Inolex; 1 , 1 '-hexamethylene bis(5-(p-chlorophenyl)biguanide), commonly known as chlorhexidine, and its salts, e.g., with acetic and digluconic acids; a 95:5 mixture of 1 ,3- bis(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-imidazolidinedione and 3-butyl-2-iodopropynyl carbamate, available under the trade name Glydant Plus® from Lonza; N-[1 ,3- bis(hydroxymethyl)2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinyl]-N,N'-bis(hydro xy-methyl) urea, commonly known as diazolidinyl urea, available under the trade name Germall® II from Sutton Laboratories, Inc.; N,N"-methylenebis{N'-[1 -(hydroxymethyl)-2,5-dioxo-4- imidazolidinyl]urea}, commonly known as imidazolidinyl urea, available, e.g., under the trade name Abiol® from 3V-Sigma, Unicide U-13® from Induchem, Germall 1 15® from Sutton Laboratories, Inc.; polymethoxy bicyclic oxazolidine, available under the trade name Nuosept® C from Huls America; formaldehyde; glutaraldehyde; polyaminopropyl biguanide, available under the trade name Cosmocil CQ® from ICI Americas, Inc., or under the trade name Mikrokill® from Brooks, Inc; dehydroacetic acid; and

[021 1 ] The term "product hardness" or "hardness" as used herein is a reflection of how much force is required to move a penetration cone a specified distance and at a controlled rate into an antiperspirant composition under the test conditions described herein below. Higher values represent harder product, and lower values represent softer product. These values are measured at 27 °C, 15% relative humidity, using a TA- XT2 Texture Analyzer, available from Texture Technology Corp., Scarsdale, N.Y., U.S.A. The product hardness value as used herein represents the peak force required to move a standard 45-degree angle penetration cone through the composition for a distance of 10 mm at a speed of 2 mm/second. The standard cone is available from Texture Technology Corp., as part number TA-15, and has a total cone length of about 24.7 mm, angled cone length of about 18.3 mm, and a maximum diameter of the angled surface of the cone of about 15.5 mm. The cone is a smooth, stainless steel

construction and weighs about 17.8 grams.

[0229] Other non-limiting examples of additional structurants suitable for use herein are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,976,514 and U.S. Patent No. 5,891 ,424.

Solvent

[0230] The antiperspirant composition can comprise a solvent at concentrations ranging from about 20% to about 80%, and more specifically from about 30% to about 70%, by weight of the composition. The solvent can be a volatile silicone which may be cyclic or linear.

[0231 ] "Volatile silicone" as used herein refers to those silicone materials that have measurable vapor pressure under ambient conditions. Non-limiting examples of suitable volatile silicones are described in Todd et al., "Volatile Silicone Fluids for Cosmetics", Cosmetics and Toiletries, 91 :27-32 (1976), which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

Adjunct Ingredients

[0237] The anhydrous antiperspirant compositions can further comprise any optional material that is known for use in antiperspirant and deodorant compositions or other personal care products, or which is otherwise suitable for topical application to human skin.

[0238] One example of optional materials are clay mineral powders such as talc, mica, sericite, silica, magnesium silicate, synthetic fluorphlogopite, calcium silicate, aluminum silicate, bentonite and montomorillonite; pearl pigments such as alumina, barium sulfate, calcium secondary phosphate, calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, finely divided titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, hydroxy apatite, iron oxide, iron titrate, ultramarine blue, Prussian blue, chromium oxide, chromium hydroxide, cobalt oxide, cobalt titanate, titanium oxide coated mica; organic powders such as polyester, polyethylene, polystyrene, methyl methacrylate resin, cellulose, 12-nylon, 6-nylon, styrene-acrylic acid copolymers, poly propylene, vinyl chloride polymer,

[0239] Talc, if used at higher levels can produce a significant amount of white residue which has been found to be a consumer negative for product acceptance. Therefore, it is best to limit the composition to less than 10%, less than about 8%, less than about 6%, or less than about 3%, by weight of the composition.

[0240] Nonlimiting examples of other optional materials include emulsifiers, distributing agents, antimicrobials, pharmaceutical or other topical active, preservatives, surfactants, and so forth. Examples of such optional materials are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,049,792; U.S. Patent No. 5,019,375; and U.S. Patent No. 5,429,816; which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

D. Soft Solid

[0241 ] Soft solid composition can comprise volatile silicone, antiperspirant active, gellant, residue masking material, or combinations thereof. In addition, soft solids generally have a hardness value after dispensing of about 500 gram force or less.

Volatile Silicone Solvent

[0242] The soft solid can comprise a volatile silicone solvent at concentrations ranging from about 20% to about 80%, preferably from about 30% to about 70%, more preferably from about 45% to about 70%, by weight of the composition. The volatile silicone of the solvent may be cyclic or linear.

[0243] "Volatile silicone" as used herein refers to those silicone materials which have measurable vapor pressure under ambient conditions. Nonlimiting examples of suitable volatile silicones are described in Todd et al., "Volatile Silicone Fluids for Cosmetics", Cosmetics and Toiletries, 91 :27-32 (1976), which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. Preferred volatile silicone materials are those having from about 3 to about 7, preferably from about 4 to about 5, silicon atoms. [0244] Cyclic volatile silicones are prferred for use in the antiperspirant compositions herein, and include those represented by the formula: wherein n is from

wherein n is from about 3 to about 7, preferably from about 4 to about 5, most preferably 5. These cyclic silicone materials will generally have viscosities of less than about 10 centistokes at 25 * C.

[0245] Linear volatile silicone materials suitable for use in the antiperspirant compositions include those represented by the formula:

wherein n is from about 1 to about 7, preferably from about 2 to about 3. These linear silicone materials will generally have viscosities of less than about 5 centistokes at 25 * C.

[0246] Specific examples of volatile silicone solvents suitable for use in the antiperspirant compositions include, but are not limited to, Cyclomethicone D-5

(commercially available from G. E. Silicones), Dow Corning 344, Dow Corning 345 and Dow Corning 200 (commercially available from Dow Corning Corp.), GE 7207 and 7158 (commercially available from General Electric Co.) and SWS-03314 (commercially available from SWS Silicones Corp.). Gellant Material

[0247] The soft solid can include a gellant material comprising fatty alcohols having from about 20 to about 60 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof, at

concentrations ranging from about 0.1 % to about 8 % by weight of the composition. The gellant material, when combined with the volatile silicone solvent described hereinbefore, provides the composition with a physically stable structure within which the particulate antiperspirant materials are dispersed, and maintained as such over an extended period of time.

[0248] Specifically, the gellant material can comprise saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, fatty alcohols or mixtures of fatty alcohols having from about 20 to about 60 carbons atoms, preferably from about 20 to about 40 carbon atoms. Preferred are combinations of the fatty alcohols. The fatty alcohol gellants are preferably saturated, unsubstituted monohydric alcohols or combinations thereof, which have a melting point of at less than about 1 10 * C, more preferably from about 60 * to about 1 10 * C, even more preferably between about 100 * C and 1 10 * C.

[0249] It has been found that this fatty alcohol-based gellant material, when combined with volatile silicone solvents provides a stable structure for maintaining a dispersion of particulate antiperspirant material in a topical formulation without the necessity of using conventional particulate thickening agents. This gellant material is especially useful in maintaining the physical stability of particulate dispersions containing higher concentrations of volatile silicone solvents.

[0250] It was also found that penetration force values for the antiperspirant compositions can be controlled by adjusting total fatty alcohol concentrations. In controlling penetration force values in this manner, there is no longer a need to use organic solvents or thickening agents to control penetration force values, which solvents or thickening agents often add cost to the formulation, introduce additional compatibility issues, and often contribute undesirable cosmetics such as prolonged stickiness, difficulty in ease of spreading, increased dry-down times and reduced dry feel after application.

[0251 ] Specific concentrations of the gellant materials can be selected according to the desired penetration force value. For roll-on formulations having a penetration force value of from about 20 gram * force to about 100 gram * force, gellant material concentrations preferably range from about 0.1 % to about 3%, preferably from about 1 .5% to about 3%, by weight of the antiperspirant composition. For other cream formulations, including those formulations suitable for use in cream applicator devices, which have a penetration force value of from about 100 gram * force to about 500 gram * force, gellant material concentrations preferably range from about 3% to about 8%, preferably from about 3% to about 6%, by weight of the antiperspirant composition.

[0252] Specific examples of fatty alcohol gellants for use in the antiperspirant compositions that are commercially available include, but are not limited to, Unilin * 425, Unilin * 350, Unilin * 550 and Unilin * 700 (supplied by Petrolite)

Residue Masking Material

[0253] The soft solid compositions can further comprise a nonvolatile emollient as a residue masking material Such materials and their use in antiperspirant products are well known in the antiperspirant art, and any such material may be incorporated into the composition of the present invention, provided that such optional material is compatible with the essential elements of the composition, or does not unduly impair product performance or cosmetics.

[0254] Concentrations of the optional residue masking material can range from about 0.1 % to about 40%, preferably from about 1 % to about 10%, by weight of the antiperspirant composition. These optional materials can be liquid at ambient temperatures, and can be nonvolatile. The term "nonvolatile" as used in this context refers to materials which have a boiling point under atmospheric pressure of at least about 200 * C. Nonlimiting examples of suitable residue masking materials for use in the antiperspirant products include butyl stearate, diisopropyl adipate, petrolatum, nonvolatile silicones, octyldodecanol, phenyl trimethicone, isopropyl myristate, C12-15 ethanol benzoates and PPG-14 Butyl Ether.

Other Materials

[0255] The soft solid compositions can further comprise one, or more, other materials which modify the physical characteristics of the compositions or serve as additional "active" components when deposited on the skin. Many such materials are known in the antiperspirant art and can be used in the antiperspirant compositions herein, provided that such optional materials are compatible with the essential materials described herein, or do not otherwise unduly impair product performance. [0256] Non limiting examples of materials can include active components such as bacteriostats and fungiostats, and "non-active" components such as colorants, perfumes, cosmetic powders, emulsifiers, chelants, distributing agents, preservatives, and wash-off aids. Examples of such optional materials are described in U.S. Patent 4,049,792; Canadian Patent 1 ,164,347; U.S. Patent 5,019,375; and U.S. Patent 5,429,816; which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

"Volatile silicone", as used herein, refers to those silicone materials that have measurable vapor pressure under ambient conditions. Non-limiting examples of suitable volatile silicones are described in Todd et al., "Volatile Silicone Fluids for Cosmetics", Cosmetics and Toiletries, 91 :27-32 (1976). The volatile silicone can be a cyclic silicone having from at least about 3 silicone atoms or from at least about 5 silicone atoms but no more than about 7 silicone atoms or no more than about 6 silicone atoms. For example, volatile silicones can be used which conform to the formula:

wherein n is from about 3 or from about 5 but no more than about 7 or no more than about 6.

[0260] These volatile cyclic silicones generally have a viscosity of less than about 10 centistokes at 25°C. Suitable volatile silicones for use herein include, but are not limited to, Cyclomethicone D5 (commercially available from G. E. Silicones); Dow Corning 344, and Dow Corning 345 (commercially available from Dow Corning Corp.); and GE 7207, GE 7158 and Silicone Fluids SF-1202 and SF-1 173 (available from General Electric Co.).

representative, non-limiting list of emollient oils includes CETIOL CC (dicaprylyl carbonate), CETIOL OE (dicaprylyl ether), CETIOL S (diethylhexylcyclohexane), and CETIOL B (dibutyl adipate), all of which are available from Cognis, and LEXFEEL 7 (neopentyl glycol diheptanoate) from Inolex. In certain examples, the organic emollient oils have a viscosity of less than 50 centistokes at 25°C. The term "organic emollient oil" as used herein means silicon-free emollient oils that are liquid at 25°C, and that are safe and light to skin and can be miscible with volatile silicone oils (as described above) and the antiperspirant active-alcohol solution in the concentration ranges described below.

[0262] The oil or mixture of oils is generally included in the concentrate formulas at a level of from about 5% to about 45%, by weight of the concentrate. This viscosity ranges noted above in connection with the different classes of oil can facilitate desired spray rates and patterns, and can help minimize nozzle clogging. To provide desired skin feel, minimal nozzle clogging, and good concentrate stability, the ratio of alcohol to volatile silicone oil is preferably greater than 1.0, 1 .35, or 1.5. And in examples having both a volatile silicone oil and an organic emollient oil, the ratio of alcohol to total oil is preferably greater than or equal to about 0.90. The oils in certain examples are miscible with the alcohol and antiperspirant active solution. Although various levels of miscibility are acceptable, the oils are preferably miscible enough with the alcohol and

antiperspirant active solution to yield a concentrate having a clear appearance.

[0263] The antiperspirant compositions can also include residue-masking agents and propellants as discussed above.

[031 1 ] The antimicrobial compound may be present in an amount from about 500 ppm to about 7000 ppm, alternatively about 1000 ppm to about 5000 ppm, alternatively about 1000 ppm to about 3000 ppm, alternatively about 1400 ppm to about 2500 ppm, by weight of the freshening composition.

Preservatives

[0312] The freshening composition of the present invention may include a preservative. The preservative is included in the present invention in an amount sufficient to prevent spoilage or prevent growth of inadvertently added microorganisms for a specific period of time, but not sufficient enough to contribute to the odor neutralizing performance of the freshening composition. In other words, the preservative is not being used as the antimicrobial compound to kill microorganisms on the surface onto which the composition is deposited in order to eliminate odors produced by microorganisms. Instead, it is being used to prevent spoilage of the freshening composition in order to increase the shelf-life of the composition.

[0313] The preservative can be any organic preservative material which will not cause damage to fabric appearance, e.g., discoloration, coloration, bleaching. Suitable water-soluble preservatives include organic sulfur compounds, halogenated compounds, cyclic organic nitrogen compounds, low molecular weight aldehydes, parabens, propane diol materials, isothiazolinones, quaternary compounds, benzoates, low molecular weight alcohols, dehydroacetic acid, phenyl and phenoxy compounds, or mixtures thereof.

[0315] Suitable levels of preservative are from about 0.0001 % to about 0.5%, alternatively from about 0.0002% to about 0.2%, alternatively from about 0.0003% to about 0.1 %, by weight of the freshening composition.

[0316] The freshening composition may include a wetting agent that provides a low surface tension that permits the composition to spread readily and more uniformly on hydrophobic surfaces like polyester and nylon. It has been found that the aqueous solution, without such a wetting agent will not spread satisfactorily. The spreading of the composition also allows it to dry faster, so that the treated material is ready to use sooner. Furthermore, a composition containing a wetting agent may penetrate hydrophobic, oily soil better for improved malodor neutralization. A composition containing a wetting agent may also provide improved "in-wear" electrostatic control. For concentrated compositions, the wetting agent facilitates the dispersion of many actives such as antimicrobial actives and perfumes in the concentrated aqueous compositions.

[0317] Non-limiting examples of wetting agents include block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Suitable block polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene polymeric surfactants include those based on ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane and ethylenediamine as the initial reactive hydrogen compound. Polymeric compounds made from a sequential ethoxylation and propoxylation of initial compounds with a single reactive hydrogen atom, such as C12-18 aliphatic alcohols, are not generally compatible with the cyclodextrin. Certain of the block polymer surfactant

[0319] In another aspect of the invention freshening fabric is a restoration of the fabric such as its surface appearance (reduction of wrinkling, improved color appearance, improved or restored fabric shape). Adjunct ingredients that help restore fabric appearance are selected from: water soluble or miscible quaternary ammonium surfactants and water insoluble oil components together with surfactants, emulsifiers, and solvents needed to form a composition that is stable and does not separate. Some non- limiting preferred emulsifiers are sorbitan esters and sorbitan esters modified with alkylene oxides, such as Tween® 20 (polyoxyethylene (20)sorbitan monolaurate, branched surfactants, like Guerbet alcohols or alkylene oxide modified Guerget alcohols such as Lutensol® XL 70 (Oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono(2- propylheptyl) ether, BASF). It is optional but preferred to have a wetting agent in this aspect of the invention. Wetting agents aid in spreading components and in reducing foaming of the composition during spraying. Some preferred wetting agents include the class of wetting agents known in the art as superwetters. Not to be bound by theory, superwetters pack very efficiently at surfaces resulting in an extremely low equilibrium surface tension. Non-limiting examples of such surfactants include Surfynols® like Surfynol® 465 and Surfynol® 104PG 50 (Dow Chemicals).

Water soluble or miscible quaternary ammonium surfactant:

[0320] Typically, minimum levels of the water soluble quat included in the compositions of the present invention are at least about 0.01 %, preferably at least about 0.05%, more preferably at least about 0.1 % even more preferably at least about 0.2% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Typically, maximum levels of water soluble quaternary agent included in the composition are up to about 20%, preferably less than about 10%, and more preferably less than about 3% based on the total weight of the composition. Typically, the agent is present in the composition in an amount of about 0.2% to about 1.0%. [0321 ] Specifically, the preferred water soluble quaternary compounds are dialkly quaternary surfactant compounds. Suitable quaternary surfactants include, but are not limited to, quaternary ammonium surfactants having the formula:

[0322] wherein Ri and R2 are individually selected from the group consisting of C1 - C4 alkyi, C1 -C4 hydroxy alkyi, benzyl, and -(C2H 4 0) X H where x has a value from about 2 to about 5; X is an anion; and (1 ) R3 and R 4 are each a C6-C14 alkyi or (2) R3 is a C6-C18 alkyi, and R4 is selected from the group consisting of C1 -C10 alkyi, C1 -C10 hydroxy alkyi, benzyl, and -(C2H40) X H where x has a value from 2 to 5. A preferred asymmetric quaternary compounds for this invention are compounds where R3 and R4 are not identical, and preferably one is branched and the other one is linear.

[0325] Another example of a suitable water soluble quaternary compound is BARQUAT CME-35 which is N-Cetyl Ethyl Morpholinium Ethosulfate available from Lonza and having the following structure:

Oil Component

[0326] The oil component of the present invention represents a substantially water insoluble material that is incorporated into the composition by way of a microemulsion. The said oil component is a non-perfume raw material and a non-malodor reduction material. Typically, the minimum levels of the oil component included in the composition are at least about 0.001 %, preferably at least about 0.005%, more preferably at least about 0.01 %, and typically maximum levels of oil components are up to about 5%, preferably less than about 3%, more preferably less than 1 .5; with typical levels being in the range of about 0.05% to about 1 %. The oil component can be a single component or a mixture and usually represents the incorporation of some benefit agent into the composition such as the nonlimiting example benefits softness or wrinkle reduction/release. Typically, the oil component comprises substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon(s) and the like. For spray products it is preferred that the oil component or mix be a liquid at room temperature for ease of incorporation into the composition and less potential for nozzle clogging on drying. [0327] The oil components of the present invention are substantially water insoluble and form a microemulsion. Substantially water insoluble means the logP of the ingredients are greater than about 1 . A logP of about 1 indicates that the component would tend to partition into octanol about 10 times more than water. Some preferred, but non-limiting, components in the oil mixture are branched hydrocarbons and perfumes when perfumes are used.

Aqueous carrier

Water containing a small amount of low molecular weight monohydric alcohols, e.g., ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol, or polyols, such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, can also be useful. However, the volatile low molecular weight monohydric alcohols such as ethanol and/or isopropanol should be limited since these volatile organic compounds will contribute both to flammability problems and environmental pollution problems. If small amounts of low molecular weight monohydric alcohols are present in the composition of the present invention due to the addition of these alcohols to such things as perfumes and as stabilizers for some preservatives, the level of monohydric alcohol may about 1 % to about 5%, alternatively less than about 6%, alternatively less than about 3%, alternatively less than about 1 %, by weight of the freshening composition.

Other ingredients

[0329] The freshening composition may include perfume raw materials that solely provide a hedonic benefit (i.e. that do not neutralize malodors yet provide a pleasant fragrance). Suitable perfumes are disclosed in US 6,248,135, which is incorporated in its entirety by reference. For example, the freshening composition may include a mixture of volatile aldehydes for neutralizing a malodor and hedonic perfume aldehydes.

[0330] Where perfumes, other than the volatile aldehydes in the malodor control component, are formulated into the freshening composition of the present invention, the total amount of perfumes and volatile aldehydes in the malodor control component may be from about 0.015% to about 1 %, alternatively from about 0.01 % to about 0.5%, alternatively from about 0.015% to about 0.3%, by weight of the freshening composition.

[0346] Zinc-containing layered materials may be those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A.F. Wells "Structural Inorganic Chemistry" Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLMs) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions. The following classes of ZLMs represent relatively common examples of the general category and are not intended to be limiting as to the broader scope of materials which fit this definition.

[0347] Many ZLMs occur naturally as minerals. In an embodiment, the ZLM is selected from the group consisting of: hydrozincite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), basic zinc carbonate, aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide), and mixtures thereof. Related minerals that are zinc-containing may also be included in the composition. Natural ZLMs can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. All of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process.

[0348] Another common class of ZLMs, which are often, but not always, synthetic, is layered double hydroxides. In an embodiment, the ZLM is a layered double hydroxide conforming to the formula [M 2+ i-xM 3+ x(OH)2] x+ A m" x m nH20 wherein some or all of the divalent ions (M 2+ ) are zinc ions. Yet another class of ZLMs can be prepared called hydroxy double salts

[0349] In an embodiment, the ZLM is a hydroxy double salt conforming to the formula: [M 2+ i-xM 2 Vx(OH)3(i -y)] + A n -(i where the two metal ions (M 2+ ) may be the same or different. If they are the same and represented by zinc, the formula simplifies to [Zni+x(OH)2] 2x+ 2x Α " -ηΗ2θ. This latter formula represents (where x=0.4) materials such as zinc hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxynitrate. In an embodiment, the ZLM is zinc hydroxychloride and/or zinc hydroxynitrate. These are related to hydrozincite as well wherein a divalent anion replaces the monovalent anion. These materials can also be formed in situ in a composition or in or during a production process.

[0350] In an embodiment, the composition comprises basic zinc carbonate. Commercially available sources of basic zinc carbonate include Zinc Carbonate Basic (Cater Chemicals: Bensenville, IL, USA), Zinc Carbonate (Shepherd Chemicals: Norwood, OH, USA), Zinc Carbonate (CPS Union Corp.: New York, NY, USA), Zinc Carbonate (Elementis Pigments: Durham, UK), and Zinc Carbonate AC (Bruggemann Chemical: Newtown Square, PA, USA). Basic zinc carbonate, which also may be referred to commercially as "Zinc Carbonate" or "Zinc Carbonate Basic" or "Zinc Hydroxy Carbonate", is a synthetic version consisting of materials similar to naturally occurring hydrozincite. The idealized stoichiometry is represented by Zns(OH)6(CO3)2 but the actual stoichiometric ratios can vary slightly and other impurities may be incorporated in the crystal lattice.

[0351 ] In embodiments having a zinc-containing layered material and a pyrithione or polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, the ratio of zinc-containing layered material to pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione is from about 5: 100 to about 10: 1 , or from about 2: 10 to about 5:1 , or from about 1 :2 to about 3: 1 .

Liquid Personal Care Compositions

[0352] Exemplary liquid rinse-off personal care compositions can include an aqueous carrier, which can be present at a level of from about 5% to about 95%, or from about 60% to about 85%. The aqueous carrier may comprise water, or a miscible mixture of water and organic solvent. Non-aqueous carrier materials can also be employed. [0353] Such rinse-off personal care compositions can include one or more detersive surfactants. The detersive surfactant component can be included to provide cleaning performance to the product. The detersive surfactant component in turn comprises anionic detersive surfactant, zwitterionic or amphoteric detersive surfactant, or a combination thereof. A representative, non-limiting, list of anionic surfactants includes anionic detersive surfactants for use in the compositions can include ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, triethylamine lauryl sulfate, triethylamine laureth sulfate, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate, triethanolamine laureth sulfate, monoethanolamine lauryl sulfate, monoethanolamine laureth sulfate, diethanolamine lauryl sulfate, diethanolamine laureth sulfate, lauric monoglyceride sodium sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, potassium lauryl sulfate, potassium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sarcosinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, lauryl sarcosine, cocoyl sarcosine, ammonium cocoyl sulfate, ammonium lauroyl sulfate, sodium cocoyl sulfate, sodium lauroyl sulfate, potassium cocoyl sulfate, potassium lauryl sulfate, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate, monoethanolamine cocoyl sulfate, monoethanolamine lauryl sulfate, sodium tridecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium cocoyl isethionate and combinations thereof. In one example, the anionic surfactant can be sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. The concentration of the anionic surfactant component in the product can be sufficient to provide a desired cleaning and/or lather performance, and generally ranges from about 2% to about 50%.

[0354] Amphoteric detersive surfactants suitable for use in the rinse-off personal care compositions are well known in the art, and include those surfactants broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in which an aliphatic radical can be straight or branched chain and wherein an aliphatic substituent can contain from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms such that one carbon atom can contain an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Examples of compounds falling within this definition can be sodium 3-dodecyl- aminopropionate, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropane sulfonate, sodium lauryl sarcosinate, N-alkyltaurines such as the one prepared by reacting dodecylamine with sodium isethionate according to the teaching of U.S. Patent No. 2,658,072, N-higher alkyl aspartic acids such as those produced according to the teaching of U.S. Patent No. 2,438,091 , and products described in U.S. Patent No. 2,528,378. Other examples of amphoteric surfactants can include sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium cocoamphoactetate, disodium lauroamphoacetate disodium cocodiamphoacetate, and mixtures thereof. Amphoacetates and diamphoacetates can also be used.

[0355] Zwitterionic detersive surfactants suitable for use in the rinse-off personal care compositions are well known in the art, and include those surfactants broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds, in which aliphatic radicals can be straight or branched chains, and wherein an aliphatic substituent can contain from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms such that one carbon atom can contain an anionic group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Other zwitterionic surfactants can include betaines, including cocoamidopropyl betaine.

[0356] The liquid rinse off personal care composition can comprise one or more phases. Such personal care compositions can include a cleansing phase and/or a benefit phase (i.e., a single- or multi-phase composition). Each of a cleansing phase or a benefit phase can include various components. The cleansing phase and the benefit phase can be blended, separate, or a combination thereof. The cleansing phase and the benefit phase can also be patterned (e.g. striped).

[0357] The cleansing phase of a personal care composition can include at least one surfactant. The cleansing phase can be an aqueous structured surfactant phase and constitute from about 5% to about 20%, by weight of the personal care composition. Such a structured surfactant phase can include sodium trideceth(n) sulfate, hereinafter STnS, wherein n can define average moles of ethoxylation. n can range, for example, from about 0 to about 3; from about 0.5 to about 2.7, from about 1 .1 to about 2.5, from about 1 .8 to about 2.2, or n can be about 2. When n can be less than 3, STnS can provide improved stability, improved compatibility of benefit agents within the personal care compositions, and increased mildness of the personal care compositions as disclosed in U.S. Pre-Grant Publication No. 2010/009285 A1 .

[0358] The cleansing phase can also comprise at least one of an amphoteric surfactant and a zwitterionic surfactant. Suitable amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants (in addition to those cited herein) can include, for example, those described in U.S. Patent No. 5, 104,646 and U.S. Patent No. 5, 106,609.

[0359] A cleansing phase can comprise a structuring system. A structuring system can comprise, optionally, a non-ionic emulsifier, optionally, from about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight of the personal care composition, of an associative polymer; and an electrolyte. [0360] The personal care composition can optionally be free of sodium lauryl sulfate, hereinafter SLS, and can comprise at least a 70% lamellar structure. However, the cleansing phase could comprise at least one surfactant, wherein the at least one surfactant includes SLS. Suitable examples of SLS are described in U.S. Pre-Grant Publication No. 2010/0322878 A1 .

[0361 ] Rinse-off personal care compositions can also include a benefit phase. The benefit phase can be hydrophobic and/or anhydrous. The benefit phase can also be substantially free of surfactant. A benefit phase can also include a benefit agent. In particular, a benefit phase can comprise from about 0.1 % to about 50% benefit agent by weight of the personal care composition. The benefit phase can alternatively comprise less benefit agent, for example, from about 0.5% to about 20% benefit agent, by weight of the personal care composition. Examples of suitable benefit agents can include petrolatum, glyceryl monooleate, mineral oil, natural oils, and mixtures thereof. Additional examples of benefit agents can include water insoluble or hydrophobic benefit agents. Other suitable benefit agents are described in U.S. Pre-Grant Publication No. 2012/0009285 A1 .

[0362] Non-limiting examples of glycerides suitable for use as hydrophobic skin benefit agents herein can include castor oil, safflower oil, corn oil, walnut oil, peanut oil, olive oil, cod liver oil, almond oil, avocado oil, palm oil, sesame oil, vegetable oils, sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil derivatives, coconut oil and derivatized coconut oil, cottonseed oil and derivatized cottonseed oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, and combinations thereof. [0363] Non-limiting examples of alkyl esters suitable for use as hydrophobic skin benefit agents herein can include isopropyl esters of fatty acids and long chain esters of long chain (i.e. C10-C24) fatty acids, e.g., cetyl ricinoleate, non-limiting examples of which can include isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate, cetyl riconoleate, and stearyl riconoleate. Other example can include hexyl laurate, isohexyl laurate, myristyl myristate, isohexyl palmitate, decyl oleate, isodecyl oleate, hexadecyl stearate, decyl stearate, isopropyl isostearate, diisopropyl adipate, diisohexyl adipate, dihexyldecyl adipate, diisopropyl sebacate, acyl isononanoate lauryl lactate, myristyl lactate, cetyl lactate, and combinations thereof.

[0364] Non-limiting examples of polyglycerin fatty acid esters suitable for use as hydrophobic skin benefit agents herein can include decaglyceryl distearate, decaglyceryl diisostearate, decaglyceryl monomyriate, decaglyceryl monolaurate, hexaglyceryl monooleate, and combinations thereof.

[0365] The rinse-off personal care composition can be applied by a variety of means, including by rubbing, wiping or dabbing with hands or fingers, or by means of an implement and/or delivery enhancement device. Non-limiting examples of implements include a sponge or sponge-tipped applicator, a mesh shower puff, a swab, a brush, a wipe (e.g., wash cloth), a loofah, and combinations thereof. Non-limiting examples of delivery enhancement devices include mechanical, electrical, ultrasonic and/or other energy devices. Employment of an implement or device can help delivery of the particulate antimicrobial agent to target regions, such as, for example, hair follicles and undulations that can exist in the underarm. The rinse-off care product can be sold together with such an implement or device. Alternatively, an implement or device can be sold separately but contain indicium to indicate usage with a rinse-off care product. Implements and delivery devices can employ replaceable portions (e.g., the skin interaction portions), which can be sold separately or sold together with the rinse-off care product in a kit

Solid Personal Care Compositions

[0366] As noted herein, personal care compositions can take on numerous forms. One suitable form is that of a solid personal care composition. Solid compositions can take many forms like powder, pellets, bars, etc. These forms will generally be described herein as bar soap, but it should be understood that the solid composition could be in another form or shape. One example of a bar soap personal care composition can include from about 0.1 % to about 35%, by weight of the personal care composition, of water, from about 45% to about 99%, by weight of the personal care composition, of soap, and from about 0.01 % to about 5%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a particulate antimicrobial agent. Another suitable antimicrobial bar soap can include, for example, from about 0.1 % to about 30%, by weight of the personal care composition, of water, from about 40% to about 99%, by weight of the personal care composition, of soap, and from about 0.25% to about 3%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a particulate antimicrobial agent.

[0367] Bar soap compositions can be referred to as conventional solid (i.e. non- flowing) bar soap compositions. Some bar soap composition can comprise convention soap, while others can contain synthetic surfactants, and still others can contain a mix of soap and synthetic surfactant. Bar compositions can include, for example, from about 0% to about 45% of a synthetic anionic surfactant. An example of a suitable conventional soap can include milled toilet bars that are unbuilt (i.e. include about 5% or less of a water- soluble surfactancy builder).

[0368] A personal care bar composition can include soap. By weight, the soap can be, for example, from about 45% to about 99%, or from about 50% to about 75%, by weight of the personal care composition. Such soaps can include a typical soap, i.e., an alkali metal or alkanol ammonium salt of an alkane- or alkene monocarboxylic acid. Sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, mono- di- and tri-ethanol ammonium cations, or combinations thereof, can be suitable for a personal care composition. The soap included in a personal care composition can include sodium soaps or a combination of sodium soaps with from about 1 % to about 25% ammonium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, or a mixture of these soaps. Additionally, the soap can be well-known alkali metal salts of alkanoic or alkenoic acids having from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms or from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms. Another suitable soap can be alkali metal carboxylates of alkyl or alkene hydrocarbons having from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms. Additional suitable soap compositions are described in U.S. Pre-Grant Publication No. 2012/0219610 A1 .

[0369] A personal care composition can also include soaps having a fatty acid. For example, one bar soap composition could contain from about 40% to about 95% of a soluble alkali metal soap of C8-C24 or C10-C20 fatty acids. The fatty acid can, for example, have a distribution of coconut oil that can provide a lower end of a broad molecular weight range or can have a fatty acid distribution of peanut or rapeseed oil, or their hydrogenated derivatives, which can provide an upper end of the broad molecular weight range. Other such compositions can include a fatty acid distribution of tallow and/or vegetable oil. The tallow can include fatty acid mixtures that can typically have an approximate carbon chain length distribution of 2.5% CM, 29% Cie, 23% Cie, 2% palmitoleic, 41 .5% oleic, and 3% linoleic. The tallow can also include other mixtures with a similar distribution, such as fatty acids derived from various animal tallows and/or lard. In one example, the tallow can also be hardened (i.e. , hydrogenated) such that some or all unsaturated fatty acid moieties can be converted to saturated fatty acid moieties.

[0370] Suitable examples of vegetable oil include palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, palm oil stearine, soybean oil, and hydrogenated rice bran oil, or mixtures thereof, since such oils can be among more readily available fats. One example of a suitable coconut oil can include a proportion of fatty acids having at least 12 carbon atoms of about 85%. Such a proportion can be greater when mixtures of coconut oil and fats such as tallow, palm oil, or non-tropical nut oils or fats can be used where principle chain lengths can be Ci6 and higher. The soap included in a personal care composition can be, for example, a sodium soap having a mixture of about 67-68% tallow, about 16-17% coconut oil, about 2% glycerin, and about 14% water.

[0371 ] Soap included in a personal care composition can also be unsaturated in accordance with commercially acceptable standards. For example, a soap included in a personal care composition can include from about 37% to about 45% unsaturated saponified material.

[0372] Soaps included in a personal care composition can be made, for example, by a classic kettle boiling process or modern continuous soap manufacturing processes wherein natural fats and oils such as tallow or coconut oil or their equivalents can be saponified with an alkali metal hydroxide using procedures well known to those skilled in the art. Soap can also be made by neutralizing fatty acids such as lauric (C12), myristic (CM), palmitic (C16), or stearic (Cie) acids, with an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate.

[0373] Soap included in a personal care composition could also be made by a continuous soap manufacturing process. The soap could be processed into soap noodles via a vacuum flash drying process. One example of a suitable soap noodle comprises about 67.2% tallow soap, about 16.8% coconut soap, about 2% glycerin, and about 14% water, by weight of the soap noodle. The soap noodles can then be utilized in a milling process to finalize a personal care composition.

Example 8: Characterization of the properties of microcapsules.

[0406] Characterization of free oil in microcapsule suspension: 1 g of the microcapsule suspension (40% solid) was mixed with 10ml of Hexanes/DBP solution by using the automated volume dispenser to leach the free oil from microcapsule, suspension, and then sited on the counter for 30 minutes. 1 ml of top, clear Hexanes/DBP layer was carefully pipetted, and measured by Agilent 6890N Gas chromatography (GC) to determine the free oil in suspension. The free oil results are shown in Table 1 below:

Table 1 The low free oil of all the tested samples indicates a successful microencapsulation process which can encapsulate core materials highly efficiency with extremely low leakage.

[0407] Characterization of leakage of core of microcapsule in Hexane: microcapsule suspension (including 1 .5g core material) was mixed with 47 ml of de- ionized water in a 150ml jar to form homogenous suspension. 50ml_ of Hexane w/DBP was gently add to the jar and cap tightly. At t= 24, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks, the upper hexane layer was carefully pipetted, and the extraction was measured by Agilent 6890N Gas chromatography (GC) to determine leakage of the microcapsule suspension in different time point. The leakage results are shown in Figure 1 . The long-term leakage (up to 4 weeks) in hexane results exhibit these microcapsules can be very stable in organic solvent, especially these samples with additional crosslinker (DETA). The results indicate the multi component wall systems are highly resistant to organic solvent system.

[0408] Characterization of surface charge of microcapsule samples: 10 g of microcapsule aqueous suspension (4% solid) was added in well-cleaned sample cup, and the pH was adjusted to 10 by 0.1 N NaOH. The pH of aqueous suspension was slowly adjusted from 10 to 3 by using 0.1 N HCI with 10 ul/min, and the surface charge of microcapsule samples was measured by Microtrac Stabino Particle Charge Titration Analyzer, and shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5. The test results exhibit that the microcapsules samples can have permanent charge on their surface area, and more important, the surface charge can be tailored by using different acrylic monomer with charge functional group. The sample 1 and 2 has pH-dependent anionic surface charge due to the carboxyl group from CD9055, and the sample 4 has pH-independent anionic surface charge due to the sulfate group from 2-sulfoethyl methacrylate, while the cationic surface charge of sample 3 comes from the trimethylammonium group from 2- (methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride.
