Disclosed are stable microcapsule compositions each containing a microcapsule dispersed in an aqueous phase and a stabilizing agent. The microcapsule compositions are stable for at least 4 weeks when storing at 45° C., and the microcapsule composition is considered stable when (i) the composition has a viscosity of 3000 cP or less and (ii) 20% or less water by volume of the composition is separated from the composition. Also disclosed are consumer products having such a stable microcapsule composition.

A method of covalently bonding a modifier to a polymeric microcapsule wall, which wall comprises entities capable of reaction with acrylic moieties, comprising the provision on the wall of a linking compound to which the modifier is subsequently attached, the linking compound having the Formula I

##STR00001##

in which

n=1 to 30; R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from the following moieties:

R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are H and Me; and

X is selected from O and NH; and

R.sub.2 is selected from CH.sub.2, CH.sub.2CH(OH)CH.sub.2, and CH.sub.2,CH.sub.2.

Microcapsuies thus modified exhibit enhanced substantivity to substrates such as textiles when used in laundry preparations.

Suggested is a rim block with improved scent performance, comprising or consisting of: (a) a solid rim block base, (b) at least one non-encapsulated perfume oil, and (c) at least one perfume oil same or different from component (b) encapsulated in a maltodextrin matrix.

Fabric conditioning compositions that include a poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound and depositable actives, where the poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound may be characterized by certain molecular weights and degrees of cationic substitution. Related methods of using and making such compositions.

Described herein is a delivery system including a carrier and a perfume formulation, where the perfume formulation includes 0 to 60 wt. % of a hydrophobic solvent, 40 to 100 wt. % of a perfume oil, where the perfume oil has at least two of the following characteristics: at least 35% of perfuming ingredients having a log P above 3, at least 20% of Bulky materials of Groups 1 to 6 and at least 15% of high impact perfume materials having a Log T<−4, where the perfume formulation is entrapped in the carrier. Also described herein are perfuming compositions and perfumed consumer products including the delivery system.

The present invention is directed to a method for producing advantageous microcapsules. Moreover, the present invention provides microcapsules obtained/obtainable by the method according to the invention.

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: (i) an organofunctional silane; (ii) an epoxy; (iii) an amine; (iv) an isocyanate; (v) an epoxide curing agent; 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.

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesireable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduely altered by the malodor control technology.

The present disclosure relates to detergent compositions that comprise renewable components and exhibit good performance, as compared to both traditional detergent formulations that contain non-renewable ingredients and known detergent formulations that contain renewable components.

Benefit agent containing delivery particles that can be supplied as slurries, compositions comprising such particles, and processes for making and using such particles and compositions.
