Provided are: a core-corona polymer particle excellent in emulsion stability and feeling of use, and a raw material for a cosmetic and an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic comprising the particle. The present invention provides a core-corona polymer particle obtained by radical-polymerizing a polyethylene oxide macromonomer represented by the formula (1) and one or two or more of hydrophobic monomers represented by the formulas (2) and (3) under the following conditions (A) to (D).

The present invention relates to a process for the production of multilayer microcapsules, in particular multilayer odiferous substance capsules or fragrance compound capsules, which have improved stability and odiferous substance release or fragrance compound release compared to prior art capsules. In addition, the present invention relates to multilayer microcapsules comprising at least one hydrophobic odiferous substance or fragrance compound obtainable by the process of the invention. In another aspect, the invention described herein relates to multilayer microcapsules comprising a core comprising at least one hydrophobic odiferous substance or fragrance compound, and a capsule shell. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of the multilayer microcapsules and suspensions of the multilayer microcapsules as an ingredient in detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning products, scent boosters in liquid or solid form, cosmetics, personal care products, agricultural products or pharmaceutical products.

The present invention refers to Pickering emulsion comprising (i) water; (ii) 10 to 50 wt.-% oil, based on the total weight of the Pickering emulsion and (iii) 1 to 10 wt.-% of Pickering pigments, based on the total weight of the Pickering emulsion, wherein the Pickering pigments are calcium carbonate particles selected from surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) or mixtures of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) and wherein the calcium carbonate particles have a volume median particle size d.sub.50 value from 0.2 .Math.m to 10 .Math.m. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a composition comprising said Pickering emulsions and a method of preparing such Pickering emulsions. The present invention also refers to the use of calcium carbonate particles as Pickering pigments for stabilizing Pickering emulsions comprising water and 10 to 50 wt.-% oil, based on the total weight of the Pickering emulsion, wherein the calcium carbonate particles are selected from surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) or mixtures of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) and have a volume median particle size d.sub.50 value from 0.2 .Math.m to 10 .Math.m.

The disclosure describes an oil-in-water composition for skin external application using a gel of crosslinked hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof and having a sherbet-like texture and feeling of use.
