The present application relates to silicone compounds, compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such silicone compounds, and processes for making and using such compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such compositions. Such compositions have improved deposition and retention properties that may impart improved benefit characteristics to a composition and/or situs yet which changes its hydrophilicity/charge and/or demonstrates cleavage of the functionalized silicone's functionalization when desired.

The present disclosure relates to the field of delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for preparing a powdered composition including granules. The granules include at least one active substance present in an encapsulated form and in a non-encapsulated form. They are obtained by drying a mixture including an aqueous phase of a water-soluble polymer, a Pickering emulsion including a non-encapsulated active substance and a microcapsule slurry including an encapsulated active substance that can differ or being the same as the non-encapsulated substance. The disclosure further relates to granules obtained by the process and to products containing them.

An improved process of making a benefit agent delivery particle and an improved microcapsule made by such process are disclosed. The process comprises the steps of providing a first composition of water phase 1, water phase 2, water phase 3 and an oil phase, where a water phase multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer is selected to have a hydrophilicity index of least 25, or even at least 30 and the oil phase multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer has a hydrophilicity index of 25 or less, or even 20 or less. The water phases comprise water, initiator, a water-soluble or dispersible amine(meth)acrylate or hydroxyl(meth)acrylate, a multifunctional (meth)acrylate and one water phase comprises water, carboxyalkyl(meth)acrylate and a base or quaternary ammonium acrylate. Water phases are combined to prereact the hydroxy- or amine(meth)acrylate and the multifunctional (meth)acrylate to form a multifunctional hydroxyl-amine(meth)acrylate pre-polymer. The pre-polymer is combined with the remaining water phase and an emulsion is formed by emulsifying under high shear agitation, an oil phase comprising a multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer and a benefit agent core material thereby forming a wall surrounding the benefit agent core material.

An encapsulated perfume composition in the form of a slurry comprising one or more core-shell capsules, dispersed in an aqueous dispersing medium, wherein the core contains a perfume and the shell contains a polyurea resin, and wherein the capsules are in the form of a stable suspension having a viscosity of up to 3000 centipoise, and more particularly about 150 to 3000 centipoise when measured on a rheometer, using rotating disks at a shear rate of 21 s.sup.−1 at a temperature of 25° C.

A viscous composition of the present invention comprises specific cellulose fibers (A), (A′) and (A″) and the specific cellulose fibers (A), (A′) and (A″) are used with appropriate selection according to uses of a cosmetic composition, a gel-like composition and a spray composition. Therefore, in case where the composition is used as the cosmetic composition, a cosmetic composition which is excellent in shape retention ability and dispersion stability and excellent in water tolerance to satisfy the properties and the performance which is necessary for cosmetics is obtained. Additionally, in case where the composition is used as a gel-like composition, gel-state can be kept without separation or water release. Furthermore, in case where the composition is used as a spray composition, since it is possible to time-dependently keep stable gel state even if functional additives such as electrolytes, ionic substances, etc. are contained, it is possible to mix various functional additives which is necessary for the use without any problem.
