DELIVERY PARTICLE

FIELD OF INVENTION

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.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Benefit agents, such as perfumes, silicones, waxes, flavors, vitamins and softening agents, are expensive and generally less effective when employed at high levels in personal care compositions, cleaning compositions, and fabric care compositions. As a result, there is a desire to maximize the effectiveness of such benefit agents. One method of achieving this objective is to improve the retention of such benefit agents whilst formulated and aged in a formulated product composition and delivery efficiencies of such benefit agents. Unfortunately, it is difficult to improve the retention and delivery efficiencies of benefit agents as such agents may be lost due to the agents' physical or chemical characteristics, or such agents may be incompatible with other compositional components or the situs that is treated.

In an effort to improve the delivery efficiencies of benefit agents, the industry, in many cases, encapsulated such benefit agents. In one aspect, US Patents 4,001,140; 4,081,376; and 4,089,802 disclose a method for capsule formation utilizing a reaction between urea and formaldehyde. In one aspect, US Patent 4,100,103 discloses a reaction between melamine and formaldehyde. Forming microcapsules from urea-formaldehyde resin and/or melamine formaldehyde resin via polycondensation reaction are disclosed in US Patents 4,001,140; 4,081,376; 4,089,802; 4,100,103; 4,015,823; and 4,444,699. Alternatively, one can utilize interfacial polymerization with polycondensation to manufacture poly(urea) and/or poly(urethane) capsules. Such microcapsule walls are the reaction products of a reaction of a polyisocyanate with a polyamine and/or a polyol, and are disclosed in USP 6,248,364; EP 0537167 Bl; and USPA 2002/0136773 Al. Alternatively, one can utilize complex coacervation methods to develop a wall around a dispersed benefit agent. Such microcapsule walls are the reaction products of anionic polymers and cationic polymers and/or surfactants, optionally followed by a crosslinking reaction. The use of cationic polymers such as gelatin with anionic polymers, such as polyphosphates or polysaccharides, are disclosed in USP 4,622,267. 11699+-JC

Alternatively, one can surround a benefit agent core with an inorganic shell. Such capsules are disclosed in WO 2009/106318A2.

Alternatively, one can employ acrylates and esters of acrylic acid to surround a benefit agent core, such capsules are disclosed in US 6,951,836 B2, and USPA 2009/0289216 Al. One approach described in the art is to manufacture a porous bead comprising acrylate materials, which can then be subsequently loaded with benefit agents, such approaches are disclosed in USP 5,145,675; WO2000041528, USP 5,856,409; USPA 2005/0121143 Al, USPA 2005/0129759 Al, and USP 5,725,869. Another approach disclosed in the art is for the use of acrylates as enteric coatings, e.g. to trigger the release of benefit agents from a delivery system upon a change in pH, such approaches are described in WO 2005055990, USPA 2010/0003518 Al , WO

2008058868, USP 6,375,983, USPA 2002/0102286 Al. Another approach is to utilize interfacial polymerization, wherein acrylate monomers are dispersed in a hydrophobic benefit agent, followed by polymerization of the dispersed monomers which then migrate to an oil/water interface to form a shell that surround the benefit agent. Such approaches are disclosed in USP 5,292,835; USPA 2003/0125222 Al, and USPA 2005/0043078 Al. Such microcapsules are deficient in their ability to manage both leakage of the benefit agent, and controlling the release of the benefit agent during or after application to a situs.

Unfortunately, capsules manufactured using the aforementioned methods and raw materials have several drawbacks which include: (1) they cannot be formulated in certain classes of products due to strict formulation limits, (2) they have high permeabilities when incorporated into products that contain high levels of surfactant, solvents, and/or water, which results in the premature benefit agent release, (3) they can only effectively encapsulate a limited breadth of benefit agents, and (4) they either are so stable that they do not release the benefit agent in use or have insufficient mechanical stability to withstand the processes required to incorporate them in and/or make a consumer product and (5) they do not adequately deposit on the situs that is being treated with consumer product that contains capsules.

Accordingly, there is a need for encapsulated benefit agents, compositions, that eliminate or minimize one or more of the aforementioned drawbacks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

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 11699+-JC

3 more of the drawbacks of current encapsulated benefit agents and thus provide formulators with additional perfume delivery opportunities.

Process of Making Particles

In one aspect, a process of making particles, each of said particles independently having a particle size of from about 2 microns to about 80 microns, from about 5 microns to about 50 microns or even from about 10 microns to about 30 microns, each particle comprising: a.) a core that comprises, based on total particle weight, from about 6% to about

99.9%, from about 11% to about 95%, or from about 50% to about 75%, of a benefit agent and from about 0.1% to about 94%, from about 5% to about 89%, or even from about 25% to about 50% of a partitioning modifier and/or density modifier; and b.) a shell that encapsulates said core, said shell comprising, based on total shell weight, from about 50% to about 100%, from about 70% to about 100% or even from about 80% to about 100% of a polyacrylate is disclosed.

In one aspect, a process of making a particle comprising: a.) reacting a multifunctional acrylate monomer and/or multifunctionalacrylate oligomer, in one aspect a multifunctional methacrylate monomer and/or multifunctional methacrylate oligomer, in a benefit agent comprising a partitioning modifier and/or density modifier with a composition comprising: i) an amine acrylate and/or methacrylate and a strong acid; or ii) a carboxylic acid acrylate and/or methacrylate monomer and a strong base; or iii) an amine acrylate and/or methacrylate monomer and a carboxylic acid acrylate and/or carboxylic acid methacrylate monomer to form a core composition, b.) forming an emulsion comprising said core composition, a surfactant, in one aspect anionic, cationic or neutral surfactant, and water; c.) curing said emulsion by applying a sufficient amount of thermal, UV, and/or electron beam energy to said emulsion to induce sufficient free- radical polymerization to form a particle having a core comprising said benefit agent and a shell comprising an acrylate, said shell encapsulating said benefit agent is disclosed.

The properties of the oil play an important role in determining how much, how quickly, and how permeable the polyacrylate shell material will be when established at the oil/water 11699+-JC

13 interface. If the oil phase comprises highly polar materials, these materials will reduce the diffusion of the acrylate oligomers and polymers to the oil/water interface and result in a very thin, highly permeable shell. Incorporation of partitioning modifier which can adjust the polarity of the core, thereby changing the partition coefficient of the polar materials in the partitioning modifier versus the acrylate oligomers, can result in the establishment of a well defined, highly impermeable shell. In one aspect, of the invention, the partitioning modifier and/or density modifier are combined with the core oil material prior to incorporation of the wall forming monomers.

The emulsifier comprises a water-soluble or water-dispersible material and optionally a water phase initiator, where the first composition initiator and the water phase initiator is an energy-activated initiator. The reaction product of the first composition and second composition results in the formation of a population of microcapsules having a microcapsule wall of low leakage of the core material.

In one aspect of the invention, encapsulated benefit agent particles have reduced leakage when incorporated in a surfactant containing cleaning composition. In one aspect of the invention, the Headspace Ratio is from about 0.05 to 0.90, from about 0.20 to about 0.80, or even from about 0.2 to about 0.40. The Headspace Ratio compares the quantity of volatile material in the headspace of a consumer product formulation when the volatile material is in an encapsulated form vs. a non-encapsulated form. The Headspace Ratio is a relative measure of the leakage stability of the encapsulated benefit agent.

In one aspect of the invention, encapsulated benefit agents are manufactured and are subsequently coated with a material to reduce the rate of leakage of the benefit agent from the particles when the particles are subjected to a bulk environment containing, for example, surfactants, polymers, and solvents.

Radical scavenger system

The inventive compositions may comprise a radical scavenger, in a sufficient amount to reduce damage to the hair during an oxidative bleaching or coloring process. The radical scavenger is preferably selected such that it is not an identical species as the alkalizing agent. The radical scavenger is a species that can react with a carbonate radical to convert the carbonate radical by a series of fast reactions to a less reactive species. Suitable radical scavengers may be selected from the classes of alkanolamines, amino sugars, amino acids and mixtures thereof, and may include, but are not limited to: monoethanolamine, 3-amino-l-propanol, 4-amino-l-butanol,5- amino- 1-pentanol, l-amino-2-propanol, l-amino-2-butanol, 1 -amino-2-pentanol, l-amino-3- pentanol, l-amino-4-pentanol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-l-ol, l-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3- aminopropane-l,2-diol, glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, glycine, arginine, lysine, proline, glutamine, histidine, serine, tryptophan and potassium, sodium and ammonium salts of the above and mixtures thereof. Other suitable radical scavenger compounds include benzylamine, glutamic acid, imidazole, di-tert-butylhydroxytoluene, hydroquinone, catechol and mixtures thereof.

Chelants

The inventive composition may comprise chelants in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of metals available to interact with formulation components, particularly oxidizing agents, more particularly peroxides. Suitable chelants for use herein include but are not limited to: diamine- N,N'-dipolyacid, monoamine monoamide-N,N'-dipolyacid, and N,N'-bis(2- hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid chelants (preferably EDDS (ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid)), carboxylic acids (preferably aminocarboxylic acids), phosphonic acids (preferably aminophosphonic acids) and polyphosphoric acids (in particular straight polyphosphoric acids), their salts and derivatives. Foaming agents

The inventive composition may be delivered in the form of a foam. Such an embodiment requires the use of a foaming agent, such as surfactants (e.g., anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric), proteins (e.g., enzymes), cellulosic materials, polymeric materials and mixtures thereof. Suitable polymeric materials include hydrophilic polymers, such as, agar-agar, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate and sodium dodecyl sulphate-poly(ethylene oxide). A preferred polymeric material is a hydrophobically-modified alkali soluble emulsion polymer synthesized 11699+-JC

59 through an emulsion polymerization process from an acid/acrylate copolymer backbone and a monomer that connects the hydrophobic groups as side chains. An example of such a material is Aculyn™ 22, commercially available from Rohm Haas, which is synthesized from acrylic acid, acrylate esters and a steareth-20 methacrylate ester. Another preferred polymer is an anionic alkali-soluble polymer emulsion synthesized from acid and acrylate comonomers through emulsion polymerization. An example of such a material is Aculyn™ 33, commercially available from Rohm Haas. Other foaming agents include cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG 7M, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Carbomer and polyquaternium-55. Mixtures of these materials may be used. As used herein "foam" means a hair colorant composition which after being passed through a manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser has a foam specific volume from about 6 to about 14 ml/g, such as about 7.5 ml/g to about 12ml/g, or even from about 8 to about 10.5 ml/g.

Acceptable foam characteristics in hair colorant composition are exemplified by foam that holds its shape and stays in a consistent form. The minimum time for this is at least long enough to transfer from a user's hand to the desired location on the hair, e.g. the foam substantially maintains its shape for at least 15 seconds, for example at least 20, or at least 30 seconds. It could be longer if a quantity of foam, e.g. a bowl full by a hair dresser, is generated and spreading on the head only starts once the bowl full is readily made.

If foam collapses prematurely and becomes liquid-like (or some liquid is forming a puddle in the hand below the foam) any movement of the user's hand causes the foam to run, drip or otherwise move from the user's hand before the foam reaches the desired location and is considered undesirable.

The foam is suitable when formed when the composition is used with a manually-actable, non- aerosol dispenser where the composition is mixed with air such that the ratio of air to composition is from about 1:6 to about 1:15, from about 1:8 to about 1:12, or about 1:10.

A suitable manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser structure include the dimensions of the dip tube, dimensions of the air ingress into the mixing chamber, mixing chamber dimensions, including the ingress and egress orifices from the mixing chamber, dispensing channel dimensions, porous elements (such as screens or meshes) and dispensing head orifice.

Method of Making Shampoo Formulations

Any suitable method of making the shampoo of the present invention may be used. In one embodiment, undecyl-based surfactant is blended with the other components of the shampoo 11699+-JC

60 compositions, according to standard methods known in the art. The typical procedure used for a clarifying shampoo would be to combine the undecyl sulfate paste or undeceth sulfate paste or mixtures thereof with water, add the desired water soluble co-surfactant and finish the composition by the addition preservatives, pH control agents, perfume, and salts to obtain the target physical properties. If a water insoluble co-surfactant is desired the surfactant and water mixture can be heated to a suitable temperature to facilitate its incorporation. If a rheology modifier is desired it can be added to the surfactant mixture prior the finishing step.

In the case of conditioning shampoos, typically the surfactant paste is combined with the co-surfactant as above and diluted with water to a target level commensurate to achieving the final activity. Rheology modifiers can be added at this point followed by conditioning agents, e.g. sucrose polyesters, silicones or silicone emulsions or other oils, cationic polymers from polymer premixes, perfumes, pearlizing agents or opacifiers, perfumes, and preservatives. Appropriate mixing steps to insure homogeneity are used as needed. The product is finished by the addition of pH control agents, hydrotropes, and salts to the desired physical properties.

Method of Making Conditioner Formulations

The hair conditioners can be prepared by any conventional method well known in the art. They are suitably made as follows: deionized water is heated to 85° C. and cationic surfactants and high melting point fatty compounds are mixed in. If necessary, cationic surfactants and fatty alcohols can be pre-melted at 85° C. before addition to the water. The water is maintained at a temperature of about 85° C. until the components are homogenized, and no solids are observed. The mixture is then cooled to about 55° C. and maintained at this temperature, to form a gel matrix. Silicones, or a blend of silicones and a low viscosity fluid, or an aqueous dispersion of a silicone is added to the gel matrix. When included, poly alpha-olefin oils, polypropylene glycols, and/or polysorbates are also added to the gel matrix. When included, other additional components such as perfumes and preservatives are added with agitation. The gel matrix is maintained at about 50° C. during this time with constant stirring to assure homogenization. After it is homogenized, it is cooled to room temperature. A triblender and/or mill can be used in each step, if necessary to disperse the materials. Compact Formulations

The present invention can also be used in a compact hair care formulation. A compact formula is a formula which delivers the same benefit to the consumer at a lower usage level. Compact formulations and methods of making compact formulations are described in US 11699+-JC

TEST METHODS

It is understood that the test methods that are disclosed in the Test Methods Section of the present application should be used to determine the respective values of the parameters of Applicants' invention as such invention is described and claimed herein.

(1) ClogP

The "calculated logP" (ClogP) is determined by the fragment approach of Hansch and Leo (cf., A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C. Hansch, P.G. Sammens, J.B. Taylor, and CA. Ramsden, Eds. P. 295, Pergamon Press, 1990, incorporated herein by reference). ClogP values may be calculated by using the "CLOGP" program available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems Inc. of Irvine, California U.S.A..

(2) Boiling Point

Boiling point is measured by ASTM method D2887-04a, "Standard Test Method for Boiling Range Distribution of Petroleum Fractions by Gas Chromatography," ASTM International.

(3) Median Particle Size

Particle size is measured using an Accusizer 780A, made by Particle Sizing Systems, Santa Barbara CA. The instrument is calibrated from 0 to 300μ using Duke particle size standards. Samples for particle size evaluation are prepared by diluting about Ig of capsule slurry in about 5g of de-ionized water and further diluting about Ig of this solution in about 25g of water.

About Ig of the most dilute sample is added to the Accusizer and the testing initiated, using the autodilution feature. The Accusizer should be reading in excess of 9200 counts/second. If the counts are less than 9200 additional sample should be added. The accusizer will dilute the test sample until 9200 counts/second and initiate the evaluation.

After 2 minutes of testing the Accusizer will display the results, including volume- weighted median size. 11699+-JC

68

The broadness index can be calculated by determining the particle size at which 95% of the cumulative particle volume is exceeded (95% size), the particle size at which 5% of the cumulative particle volume is exceeded (5% size), and the median volume- weighted particle size (50% size — 50% of the particle volume both above and below this size). Broadness Index (5) = ((95% size)-(5% size)/50% size).

(4) Headspace Ratio

(a) Obtain a fragrance free consumer product formulation (shampoo or leave-on conditioner). (b) Obtain fragrance microcapsules whose water content has been adjusted to achieve a perfume content of 25wt% in the aqueous slurry.

(c) Prepare Sample A by adding 2.0 grams of the fragrance microcapsule aqueous slurry to 95 grams of the fragrance free consumer product formulation. Then add 3.0 grams of deionized water to balance the formulation to 100 grams. Age this formulation for 1 week at 40 degrees Centigrade.

(d) Prepare Sample B by adding 0.50 grams of the neat fragrance to 95 grams of fragrance free consumer product formulation. Then add 4.5 grams of deionized water to balance the formulation to 100 grams. Age this formulation for 1 week at 40 degrees Centigrade.

The Headspace Ratio is defined as the headspace concentration of Sample A divided by the

T T

¹² Sample _ A headspace concentration of Sample B, ]-[ , where Wsa _mP ie_ _A is the headspace

Sample _ B concentration of a consumer product formulation Sample A, and Hsa _mp ie_ _B is the headspace concentration of a consumer product formulation Sample B.

Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME)-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry is used to measure the level of perfume raw materials in the headspace of products. 1.0 grams of the 1 week at 40 degrees Centigrade aged sample (shampoo or conditioner) are placed into a clean 20 ml headspace vial and allowed to equilibrate for at least 2 hours at room temperature.

The samples are then analyzed using the MPS2-SMPE-GC-MS analysis system (GC-02001-

0153, MSD-02001-0154, MPS2-02001-0155). Apparatus:

1. 20 ml headspace vial 11699+-JC

69

2. Timer.

3. Gas Chromatograph (GC): Agilent model 6890 with a CIS-4 injector (Gerstel, Mulheim, Germany) and MPS-2 Autosampler and TDU. For SPME analysis, we used the split/splitless injector (not the CIS-4 injector). 4. GC column: J&W DB-5 MS, 30 M x 0.25 mm ID, 1.0 Dm film thickness obtained from J&W Scientific of Folsom, California, USA.

5. Carrier gas, helium, 1.5 ml/min. flow rate.

6. The injector liner is a special SPME liner (0.75 mm ID) from Supelco.

7. The Detector is a model 5973 Mass Selective Detector obtained from Agilent Technologies, Inc., Wilmington, DE, USA having a source temperature of about 230 ⁰ C, and a MS Quad temperature of about 150 ⁰ C.

Analysis procedure:

1. Transfer sample to proper sample tray and proceed with SPME-GC-MS analysis. 2. Start sequence of sample loading and analysis. In this step, the sample is allowed to equilibrate for at least two hours on the auto sampler tray, then sampled directly from the tray. The SPME fiber assembly is DVB/CAR/PDMS (50/30 urn, 24 ga, 1 cm length). Sampling time is 5 minutes. 3. Injector temperature is at 260C. 4. Then GC-MS analysis run is started. Desportion time is 5 minutes.

5. . The following temperature program is used: i) an initial temperature of about 50 ⁰ C which is held for 3 minutes, ii) increase the initial temperature at a rate of about 6 °C/min until a temperature of about 250 ⁰ C is reached, then 25 °C/min to 275 ⁰ C, hold at about 275 ⁰ C for 4.67 minute.

6. Perfume compounds are identified using the MS spectral libraries of John Wiley & Sons and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), purchased and licensed through Hewlett Packard.

7. Chromatographic peaks for specific ions are integrated using the Chemstation software obtained from Agilent Technologies, Inc., Wilmington, DE, USA..

8. The ratio for each PRM is calculated by dividing the peak area for the perfume raw material in Sample A by the peak area in Sample B. 11699+-JC

70

9. Each ratio is then weighted by that perfume raw material's weight composition in the perfume.

10. The Headspace Ratio is calculated as the sum of the individual perfume raw material ratios obtained in step 9.

(5) Odor Detection Threshold (ODT) is determined using a gas chromatograph. The gas chromatograph is calibrated to determine the exact volume of material injected by the syringe, the precise split ratio, and the hydrocarbon response using a hydrocarbon standard of known concentration and chain length distribution. The air flow rate is accurately measured and, assuming the duration of human inhalation to last 12 seconds, the sampled volume is calculated. Since the precise concentration at the detector at any point in time is known, the mass per volume inhaled is known, and hence the concentration of material. For example, to determinewhether a material has a threshold below 50 parts per bullion, solutions are delivered to the sniff port at the calculated concentration. A panelist sniffs the GC effluent and identifies the retention time when odor is noticed. The average among 6 panelists determines the threshold of noticeability. The necessary amount of analyte is injected into the column to achieve a 50 parts per billion concentration at the detector. Typical gas chromatograph parameters for determining odor detection thresholds are listed below: GC: 5890 Series II with FID detector, 7673 Autosampler

Column: J&W Scientific DB-I

Length: 30 meters, 0.25millmeter inside diameter, 1 micrometer film thickness Method: split injection: 17/1 split ratio - Autosampler: 1.13 microliters per injection

Column flow: 1.10 milliLiters per minute Air Flow : 345 milliLiters per minute Inlet Temperature : 245 degrees Centigrade Detector Temperature: 285 degrees Centigrade - Initial Temperature = 50 degrees Centigrade, 5 degrees Centigrade per minute ramp rate, final temperature = 280 degrees Centigrade, Final time = 6 minutes Leading assumptions: 12 seconds per sniff, GC air adds to sample dilution 11699+-JC

An oil solution, consisting of 150g Fragrance Oil, 0.6g DuPont Vazo-52, and 0.4g DuPont Vazo-67, is added to a 35 ^C temperature controlled steel jacketed reactor, with mixing at 1000 rpm (4 tip, 2" diameter, flat mill blade) and a nitrogen blanket applied at lOOcc/min. The oil solution is heated to 75 °C in 45 minutes, held at 75 °C for 45 minutes, and cooled to 60 °C in 75 minutes.

A second oil solution, consisting of 37.5g Fragrance Oil, 0.5g tertiarybutylaminoethyl methacrylate, 0.4g 2-carboxyethyl acrylate, and 19.5g Sartomer CN975 (hexafunctional aromatic urethane-acrylate oligomer) is added when the first oil solution reached 60 ^C. The combined oils are held at 60^C for an additional 10 minutes. Mixing is stopped and a water solution, consisting of 112g 5% Celvol 540 polyvinyl alcohol, 20Og water, l.lg 20% NaOH, and 1.17g DuPont Vazo-68WSP, is added to the bottom of the oil solution, using a funnel.

Mixing is again started, at 2500 rpm, for 60 minutes to emulsify the oil phase into the water solution. After milling is completed, mixing is continued with a 3" propeller at 350 rpm. The batch is held at 60^C for 45 minutes, the temperature is increased to 75 °C in 30 minutes, held at 75 ⁰ C for 4 hours, heated to 90^ in 30 minutes and held at 90 ⁹ C for 8 hours. The batch is then allowed to cool to room temperature.

The finished microcapsules have a median particle size of 7 microns, and a broadness index of 1.3. EXAMPLE 2-8. 90wt% core, 10wt% wall, (Scent A with various amounts of IPM: 10%,

An aqueous solution, consisting of 47g water and 2.68g tetraethylenepentamine, is added into the emulsion. And it is then heated to 60 ⁰ C, held at 60 ⁰ C for 8 hours, and allowed to cool to room temperature. The median particle size of the formed microcapsules is 10 microns, with a broadness index of 1.5

EXAMPLE 19. Polyurea/urethane Capsules 11699+-JC

78

Prepare the Oil Phase by adding 4.44 grams of isophorone diisocyanate (Sigma Aldrich) to 5.69 grams of Scent A fragrance oil. Prepare a Water Phase by mixing 1.67 grams of Ethylene Diamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 0.04 grams of 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (Sigma Aldrich) into 40 grams of a 5wt% aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90 (Sigma Aldrich) at 10 degrees Centigrade. Next, add the Oil Phase contents to 15.0 grams of a 5wt% aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90 (Sigma Aldrich), while agitating the mix at 1400 RPM using a Janke & Kunkel IKA Laboretechnik RW20 DZM motor with a 3 -blade turbine agitator for approximately 9 minutes. Next, add the addition of the Water Phase into the emulsified Oil Phase drop wise over a 6.5 minute period, while continuing to agitate at 1400 RPM. Continue to agitate for 23 minutes, then reduce the agitation speed to 1000 RPM. After 3.75 additional hours, reduce the agitation speed to 500 RPM, and continue to agitate for 14 hours. Start heating the dispersion to 50 degrees Centigrade, over a 2 hour period. Age the capsules at 50C for 2 hours, then collect the formed microcapsules. The resulting polyurea/urethane particles have a median particle size of 12 microns and a broadness index of 1.5

EXAMPLE 20. Polyurea/urethane capsules

The same procedure as outlined in Example 18 is followed, except that the Fragrance Oil comprises 80wt% Scent A and 20wt% Isopropyl Myristate. The formed microcapsules have a median particle size of 11 microns, and a broadness index of 1.5

EXAMPLE 21. Spray Drying of Perfume Microcapsules

The perfume microcapsule slurry of Example 2 is pumped at a rate of 1 kg/hr into a co-current spray dryer (Niro Production Minor, 1.2 meter diameter) and atomized using a centrifugal wheel (100 mm diameter) rotating at 18,000 RPM. Dryer operating conditions are: air flow of 80 kg/hr, an inlet air temperature of 200 degrees Centigrade, an outlet temperature of 100 degrees Centigrade, dryer operating at a pressure of -150 millimeters of water vacuum. The dried powder is collected at the bottom of a cyclone. The collected particles have an approximate particle diameter of 11 microns. The equipment used the spray drying process may be obtained from the following suppliers: IKA Werke GmbH & Co. KG, Janke and Kunkel - Str. 10, D79219 Staufen, Germany; Niro A/S Gladsaxevej 305, P.O.

EXAMPLE 22. Microcapsules in Leave-on-Conditioner 11699+-JC

79

Each of the capsules from the above examples is formulated into a leave-on-conditioner formulation as follows: to 98.0 grams of leave-on-conditioner (with a typical formulation given below) is added an appropriate amount of microcapsule slurry of examples 1 through 20 to deliver a Scent A fragrance usage level of 0.5wt%. The microcapsules are added on top of the conditioner formulation, then the contents are mixed using a SpeedMixer by Hauschild DAC 400FVZ, at 1000 RPM for 1 minute.

A portion of this product is weighed in 20 mL vials, and placed into a constant temperature environment for ageing (1 week at 40 degrees Centigrade).

A portion of this product is used to treat hair switches for in-vitro testing, using the Olfactive Analysis of Leave-On-Treatment test method. The following results are obtained.

A lO point increase in the olfactive grade is a noticeable change in odor intensity. Pre-comb refers to the olfactive intensity of Scent A on dry hair; post-comb refers to the olfactive intensity 11699+-JC

80 of Scent A on dry hair after combing the hair switch 3 times. Note the significant increase in post-comb odor intensity with the Acrylate capsules of example 2-9 and 11-15 for initial hair odor and 24hr aged hair odor. One can see the dramatic change in odor intensity upon combing, when compared to the pre-comb at the time point, and when compared to the neat perfume control. The partitioning modifier type and level, and the median particle size play a critical role in driving the fragrance benefit. The polyurea/urethane capsules do not deliver the desired olfactive performance profile. The Headspace Ratio of these products is also measured, and is tabulated below.

A typical composition of a leave-on conditioner formulation is given in the following table:

81

EXAMPLE 23. Microcapsules in Shampoo

A subset of the capsules from the above examples is formulated into a rinse-off Shampoo formulation as follows: to 90.0 grams of shampoo formulation (with a typical formulation given below) is added an appropriate amount of microcapsule slurry of examples 15 through 20 to deliver a Scent A fragrance usage level of 0.5wt%. The microcapsules and water are added on top of the shampoo formulation, then the contents are mixed using a SpeedMixer by Hauschild DAC 400FVZ mixer, at 1850 RPM for 1 minute.

A portion of this product is weighed in 20 mL vials, and placed into a constant temperature environment for ageing (1 week at 40 degrees Centigrade).

A portion of this product is used to treat hair switches for in-vitro testing, using the Olfactive Analysis of Shampoo test method. The following results are obtained.

11699+-JC

82

Note that the olfactive results are much lower in the case of shampoo, primarily due to poor retention of capsules on hair during the rinse-off process. However, particle size seems to play an important role in improving retention and driving a sustained fragrance odor performance upon combing (initially and after 24 hour ageing of hair) - compare Example 15 with the Neat Perfume control.

The Headspace Ratio is also measured for the above samples, and is tabulated below.

Typical composition of shampoo formulations are given in the examples below.

For the examples above, in a suitable container, combine the ingredients of Phase A. In a separate suitable container, combine the ingredients of Phase B. Heat each phase to 73°C-78°C while mixing each phase using a suitable mixer (e.g., Anchor blade, propeller blade, or IKA T25) until each reaches a substantially constant desired temperature and is homogenous. Slowly add Phase B to Phase A while continuing to mix Phase A. Continue mixing until batch is uniform. Pour product into suitable containers at 73-78 ⁰ C and store at room temperature. Alternatively, continuing to stir the mixture as temperature decreases results in lower observed hardness values at 21 and 33 ⁰ C.

³ UCARE™ Polymer LR-400, available from Amerchol Corporation (Plaquemine, Louisiana)

A target weight of 300 grams of the above composition is prepared with the use of a conventional overhead stirrer (IKA® RW20DZM Stirrer available from IKA® Works, Inc., Wilmington, DE) and a hot plate (Corning Incorporated Life Sciences, Lowell, MA). Into an appropriately sized and cleaned vessel, the distilled water and glycerin are added with stirring at 100-150 rpm. The cationic polymer, when present, is then slowly added with constant stirring until homogenous. The polyvinyl alcohol is weighed into a suitable container and slowly added to the main mixture in small increments using a spatula while continuing to stir while avoiding the formation of visible lumps. The mixing speed is adjusted to minimize foam formation. The mixture is slowly heated to 8O ⁰ C after which surfactants are added. The mixture is then heated to 11699+-JC

87

85 ⁰ C while continuing to stir and then allowed to cool to room temperature. Additional distilled water is added to compensate for water lost to evaporation (based on the original tare weight of the container). The final pH is between 5.2 - 6.6 and adjusted with citric acid or diluted sodium hydroxide if necessary. The resulting processing mixture viscosity is measured.

A porous dissolvable solid substrate (also referred to in the examples herein as "substrate") is prepared from the above liquid processing mixture as described in Table 2 below.

Table 2

300 grams of the processing mixture is stored within a convection oven for greater than two hours at 7O ⁰ C to pre-heat the processing mixture. The mixture is then transferred into a preheated 5 quart stainless steel bowl (by placing into 7O ⁰ C oven for greater than 15 minutes) of a KITCHENAID® Mixer Model K5SS (available from Hobart Corporation, Troy, OH) fitted with a flat beater attachment and with a water bath attachment comprising tap water at 70-75 ⁰ C. The mixture is vigorously aerated at a maximum speed setting of 10 until a wet density of approximately 0.26 grams/cm ³ is achieved (time recorded in table). The density is measured by weighing a filling a cup with a known volume and evenly scraping off the top of the cup with a spatula. The resulting aerated mixture is then spread with a spatula into square 160 mm x 160 mm aluminum molds with a depth of 6.5 mm with the excess wet foam being removed with the straight edge of a large metal spatula that is held at a 45° angle and slowly dragged uniformly across the mold surface. The aluminum molds are then placed into a 13O ⁰ C convection oven for approximately 35 to 45 minutes. The molds are allowed to cool to room temperature with the substantially dry porous dissolvable solid substrates removed from the molds with the aid of a thin spatula and tweezers.

Each of the resulting 160 mm x 160 mm square substrates is cut into nine 43 mm x 43 mm squares (with rounded edges) using a cutting die and a Samco SB20 cutting machine (each square representing surface area of approximately 16.9 cm ² ). The resulting smaller substrates are 11699+-JC

88 then equilibrated overnight (14 hours) in a constant environment room kept at 7O ⁰ F and 50% relative humidity within large zip-lock bags that are left open to the room atmosphere.

Within a fume hood, the substrate is mounted on a stainless steel easel that rests at about a 60 degree angle and with notches holding the substrate from sliding downward and with a hole in plate so that the substrate can easily be removed from the mount by pushing from the easel. It is important that the top surface of the substrate (the side that is exposed to the air in the drying oven and opposite the side that is in direct contact with the aluminum mold during the drying process) is facing away from the easel. A small glass bottle with a pump spray is filled with the primary fragrance oil Ia and then sprayed onto the surface of the substrate from a distance of 2 to 3 inches. The substrate is then removed from the easel and returned to the weigh boat on the balance with the top side facing upwards. The weight of perfume applied is recorded and in the instance that the target weight is not achieved, either another spray amount is applied or a Kim wipe to absorb excess perfume away from the substrate. This iterative process is repeated until the target weight range is achieved. The amount of fragrance Ia applied is recorded in the below table. The resulting substrate resting on the small weigh boat is stored within a zip-lock bag and sealed from the atmosphere. The above process is repeated on a second substrate.

The first substrate within its weigh boat is later removed from the zip-lock bag and tared again to zero weight on a 4 place weigh balance. A perfume microcapsule of Example 21 is then applied to the surface of each substrate. The substrate is coated with the perfume microcapsule powder by gently shaking the substrate in a tray (or other suitable container) containing an excess of the perfume inclusion complex in a side-to-side manner ten times (the process is repeated for the other side). The resulting powder coated substrate is then picked up (with gloved hands) and gently shaken and tapped several times to remove any excess powder that is not sufficiently adhered to the substrate. The resulting weight of the microcapsule of the secondary fragrance applied is recorded in the below table. The porous substrate within its weigh boat is then returned the zip lock bag and sealed from the atmosphere. This powder application process is repeated for the second substrate.

The final wei hts achieved are iven in the below table:

The above examples I through V can be made via the following general process, which one skilled in the art will be able to alter to incorporate available equipment. The ingredients of Part I and Part II are mixed in separate suitable containers. Part II is then added slowly to Part I under 11699+-JC

90 agitation to assure the making of a water-in-silicone emulsion. The emulsion is then milled with suitable mill, for example a Greeco 1L03 from Greeco Corp, to create a homogenous emulsion. Part III is mixed and heated to 88 ⁰ C until the all solids are completely melted. The emulsion is then also heated to 88 ⁰ C and then added to the Part 3 ingredients. The final mixture is then poured into an appropriate container, and allowed to solidify and cool to ambient temperature.

QS - indicates that this material is used to bring the total to 100%.

Examples VI to IX can be made as follows: all ingredients except the fragrance, linalool, and dihydromyrcenol are combined in a suitable container and heated to about 85 ⁰ C to form a homogenous liquid. The solution is then cooled to about 62°C and then the fragrance, linalool, and dihydromyrcenol are added. The mixture is then poured into an appropriate container and allowed to solidify up cooling to ambient temperature.

Example X can be made as follows: all the ingredients except the propellant are combined in an appropriate aerosol container. The container is then sealed with an appropriate aerosol delivery valve. Next air in the container is removed by applying a vacuum to the valve and then propellant is added to container through the valve. Finally an appropriate actuator is connected to the valve to allow dispensing of the product. 11699+-JC

Polyethylenimine (MW = 600) with 20 ethoxylate groups per -NH. 2 RA = Reserve Alkalinity (g NaOH/dose)

*Microcapsule added as 25-35% active slurry (aqueous solution). Core/wall ratio can range from 80/20 up to 90/10 and average particle diameter can range from 5μm to 50μm, and can be purified via any of the aforementioned examples. Suitable combinations of the microcapsules provided in Examples 1 through 21. ** Low water liquid detergent in Polyvinylalcohol unidose/sachet

EXAMPLE 34. Centrifugation of PMC Slurry

14 milliliters of the aqueous suspension of perfume microcapsules of Example 2 are placed in a 20 milliliter centrifuge tube. 6 identical such tubes are prepared and placed in a batch centrifuge (IEC Centra CL2). After 20 minutes at 3800 RPM, the centrifuge tubes are removed. The top microcapsule layer is isolated from the remaining material. This material contains approximately 20wt% water, and can be incorporated into low water containing formulations.

EXAMPLE 35. Higher Density Capsules

Microcapsules are prepared by the same procedure as in Example 5 except that the Fragrance Oil is formulated with Scent A and Brominated Vegetable Oil (Virginia Dare Extract Co.) prior to preparation of first and second oil solutions. The table below provides the total mass of fragrance oil by its components - Scent A fragrance and brominated vegetable oil (density 1.33 g/mL) density modifier, along with the properties of the microcapsules.

To 90.0 grams of shampoo formulation (with a typical formulation given below) is added 2.33 grams of microcapsules (21.5wt% Scent A oil) and 7.67 grams of deionized water to deliver a

Scent A fragrance usage level of 0.5wt%. The microcapsules and water are added on top of the shampoo formulation, then the contents are mixed using a SpeedMixer by Hauschild DAC

400FVZ mixer, at 1850 RPM for 1 minute.

A portion of this product is used to treat hair switches for in-vitro testing, using the Olfactive Analysis of Shampoo test method. The following results are obtained. 11699+-JC
