The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing reservoir-type microcapsules containing a lipophilic active agent, the wall of which comprises at least two polymers obtained by co-crosslinking of a polymer obtained by complex coacervation and of a copolymer of silicone, melamine-carbamate and polyurethane. The microcapsules thus prepared may be used in formulations containing surfactants, such as washing products or detergents, or in cosmetic formulations such as shampoos or soaps.

The invention relates to an easy and mild method of encapsulating lipophilic compounds. To induce coacervation, no acid needs to be added. Therefore, the coacervate capsules of the invention may encapsulate lipophilic actives which are sensitive to acid degradation. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a vegetarian rapeseed protein isolate is used to encapsulate vegetarian algae oil. The thus obtained product is a vegetarian or even vegan source of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
