The present disclosure provides low-water oral care compositions comprising a whitening agent and a flavor system encapsulating one or more flavor ingredients, wherein the flavor system provides improved taste to the consumer, masking the negative taste attributes of the whitening or oxidizing agents, and is also believed to be able to improve the flavor stability over the life of the product, and methods of using the same.

Photochromic formulations including a core material and a photochromic layer overlying the core material and forming a particle are provided. The photochromic layer may include a plurality of photochromic materials, including a first photo-responsive pigment characterized by reversible diffuse reflectance at a first central wavelength from 490 nm to 520 nm in response to irradiation by photons of a first characteristic wavelength, a second photo-responsive pigment characterized by reversible diffuse reflectance at a second central wavelength from 570 nm to 590 nm in response to irradiation by photons of a second characteristic wavelength, and a third photo-responsive pigment characterized by reversible diffuse reflectance at a third central wavelength from 450 nm to 495 nm and a fourth central wavelength from 625 nm to 740 nm in response to irradiation by photons of a third characteristic wavelength. The first, second, and third characteristic wavelengths may be different.

The present invention relates to color particles from an extrudate, the production thereof, color particles produced by the process and the use of the color particles for the production of foodstuffs, beverages, cosmetics, in particular oral hygiene products, pharmaceuticals and consumer articles, in particular washing and cleaning agents in liquid, gel-like or powdery form, animal food or animal care products and foods, beverages, cosmetics, in particular oral hygiene products, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, in particular detergents and cleaning agents in liquid, gel-like or powdery form, animal food or animal care products comprising the color particles.

The invention relates to spray-dried, washfast dye compositions (preferably in the form of pigment powders) having a bleeding rate of ≤0.5% and consisting of water-soluble functional dyes, preferably food dyes, which are firmly incorporated in a silica matrix. Apart from low bleeding of dye, these compositions are remarkable for their high stability to pH changes and/or ascorbic acid. The invention is also directed to the production of the dye compositions and the use thereof. The dye compositions are preferably employed in coloring foods, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, but also in other uses.

The present disclosure relates to delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for releasing an active ingredient including a step of contacting a powdered composition with a medium having a pH≤7. The powdered composition includes granules made of a water soluble polymer matrix, an oil phase dispersed in said matrix and carbonate particles. Consumer products such as an antiperspirant or deodorant composition or a powder soft drink beverage composition including the powdered composition are also object of the present disclosure.

The present technology generally relates to an encapsulation system for delivery of an active agent, the encapsulation system comprising a matrix of microcapsules, wherein a first portion of microcapsules in the matrix of microcapsules has an average diameter of from about 0.1 microns to about 10 microns; a second portion of the microcapsules has an average diameter of from about 10 microns to about 100 microns; and a third portion of the microcapsules has an average diameter of from about 100 microns to about 500 microns; and wherein the active agent is encapsulated in the microcapsules.

Cosmetic and dermatological compositions, including color changing compositions, are provided which typically include a plurality of synthetic particles having a size in the micrometer or nanometer range. Each synthetic particle typically includes one or more aggregates of a pigment selected from phenoxazone, phenoxazine, and a derivate or precursor thereof, and a stabilizing material which has a refractive index larger than 1.45; the aggregates having a size larger than about 100 nm and the composition being biodegradable and biocompatible.
