The disclosure relates to a medical device for applying a semi-permanent tattoo ink to mark patients for medical procedures, including but not limited to radiation therapy in the treatment of various types of cancer. The tattoo ink is removable or disappears over a period of time following intradermal application.

Multi-coated nanoparticles including multiple coating layers of chitosan and polyglutamic acid, composition for skin care including the same, and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The nanoparticles have a liposome core layer and coating layers. The core layer includes a bioactive particle and a core hydrogel. Not only is it easy to mass-produce, but also has the effect of steadily releasing bioactive particles for a long period of time due to its high sealing rate and high stability.

Disclosed is a composition including controlled release particles, wherein each of the controlled release particles includes: (a) a core including at least one hydrophobic active ingredient; and (b) a wall at least partially surrounding the core and including the reaction products of: (i) an organofunctional silane; (ii) an epoxy; (iii) an amine; (iv) an isocyanate; (v) an epoxide curing agent; (vi) a basified biodegradable resin; (vii) a pre-reacted natural material resin; (viii) a pre-reaction product of polyisocyanate; wherein the controlled release particles are effective to retain the at least one hydrophobic active ingredient upon exposure to water and effective to release the at least one hydrophobic active ingredient in response to friction. A method for preparing the composition is also disclosed.

Compositions that include encapsulates, the encapsulates having a core and a shell encapsulating the core, the shell including certain acrylate-based polymers. Processes for making and using such compositions.

Provided are cellulose acetate particles. The cellulose acetate particles have an average particle size of 80 nm or greater and 100 μm or less, a sphericity of 0.7 or greater and 1.0 or less, and a relative specific surface area of 3.0 or greater and 20 or less. A total degree of acetyl substitution of the cellulose acetate is 0.7 or greater and 3.0 or less.

An SPF booster is provided, comprising: a multistage polymeric particle having a core comprising polymerized units of a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid core monomer and a non-ionic ethylenically unsaturated core monomer; an inner shell comprising polymerized units of a non-ionic ethylenically unsaturated inner shell monomer; a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid inner shell monomer and an aliphatic inner shell monomer; an outer shell comprising polymerized units of a non-ionic ethylenically unsaturated outer shell monomer; an aliphatic outer shell monomer; a monoethylenically unsaturated non-carboxylic acid outer shell monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated surfactant outer shell monomer; wherein the core, when dry, contains a void; and wherein the multistage polymeric particle has an average particle size, when dry, of 50 to 1,000 nm.

The invention relates to a method for making a core-composite shell microcapsule slurry for the delivery of hydrophobic active ingredients such as fragrance components of perfume oils. The method includes forming an outer shell by coacervation surrounding an internal phase which contains the hydrophobic active ingredient; and forming an inner shell by interfacial polymerization at the interface between the internal phase and the outer shell. The internal phase contains the hydrophobic active ingredient. The microcapsules are typically incorporated in a consumer product wherein the composite shell prevents the hydrophobic active ingredient from release until desired, generally during use of the consumer product.
