Heterocycles having odoriferous ketone or odoriferous aldehyde groups may be suitable in compositions comprising washing agents, cleaning agents, cosmetic agents, air care agents, insect repellents, or combinations thereof where the heterocycles release the ketones and aldehydes during hydrolysis. The heterocycle(s) may have the formula: ##STR00001##

A deodorant stick comprising: at least about 25% of a liquid triglyceride; at least one antimicrobial; a primary structurant with a melting point of at least about 50° C.; and less than 8% of secondary structurants having a melting point of at least about 60° C.; said stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said stick having a hardness from about 80 mm*10 to about 140 mm*10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

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

The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions, in particular compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. The present invention more particularly relates to compositions which do not contain the conventional and well established aluminium based actives, yet exhibit similar efficacy. This is achieved through use of an active which is a complex of a zinc salt with a β amino acid in an anhydrous carrier comprising a specific mixture of ethanol and a C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 glycol.

A consumer product composed of ≤1% of a High-Performance fragrance composition and a consumer product active is provided. Use of reduced levels of the High-Performance fragrance composition provides for improved aesthetics such as improved clarity and viscosity, and reduced discoloration and caking.

The invention relates to new oil gelling polyurethanes useful for preparing clear gels in organic media (oils, solvents) and to a process for their preparation. The invention also relates to the gels formed from these gelling polyurethanes and to compositions containing them, in particular cosmetic compositions.
