The present invention relates to an improved controlled delivery system that can be incorporated in soap bars to enhance deposition of active ingredients and sensory markers onto skin. The carrier system also provides controlled release or prolonged release of these actives from the skin over an extended period of time. The controlled delivery system of the present invention comprises substantially free-flowing, powder formed of solid hydrophobic, positively charged, nanospheres of encapsulated active ingredients, that are encapsulated in moisture sensitive microspheres. The high cationic charge density of the nanosphere improves deposition of active ingredients onto skin. The high cationic charge density on the nanosphere surface is created by incorporating a cationic conditioning agent into the solid hydrophobic matrix of the nanospheres, by incorporating a cationic charge “booster” in the moisture sensitive microsphere matrix, or by using a cationic conditioning agent in the nanosphere matrix in conjunction with a cationic charge “booster” in the microsphere matrix. The invention also pertains to soap products comprising the controlled release system of the present invention.

Hydrophilic siloxane copolymers are prepared by(a) reacting organopolysiloxanes having at least one Si-bonded hydrogen atom with substantially linear oligomeric or polymeric compounds of formulaR1-(A-CnH2n)m-A1-H  (I)where R1 is a monovalent optionally substituted, hydrosilylatable hydrocarbyl radical,A is a bivalent polar organic radical selected from —O—, —C(O)—O—, —O—C(O)—, —O—C(O)—O—, —C(O)—NH—, —NH—C(O)—, urethane radicals and urea radicals,A1 is a bivalent polar organic radical selected from —O—, —NH— and —NR′—, n is an integer from 1 to 20, and m is zero or a positive integer,(b) reacting the resulting intermediate with organic compounds which have two or more isocyanate groups, in the presence of further organic compounds (6) reactive toward isocyanate groups and containing at least one tertiary amine group, and(c) quaternizing the amino-group-containing intermediate from step (b) with an alkylating agent (8),with the proviso that the water content of the compounds (1) and (2) is lower than 2000 weight ppm.

Siloxane resin compositions obtained by mixing a MQ siloxane resin with a propyl silsesquioxane resin are disclosed. These siloxane resins are useful in a variety of personal, household, automotive and medical care applications, and in particular, as a resin additive in pigmented cosmetic formulations.

The present invention is directed to polymeric compounds comprising a main backbone derived from at least the following monomeric components: (I) 20 to 99.9% by weight, preferably 50% to 99% by weight, of at least one cationic monomer according to formula (I), and (II) 0.1 to 80% by weight of a hydrophobic unsaturated nonionic monomer that polymerizes in the presence of an initiator, optionally a water-soluble monomer (III) different from either monomer (I) and monomer (II), and optionally a crosslinking agent (IV). Said compounds are particularly useful to overcome the problem of dye bleeding and / or dye transfer in laundry processes.

The present invention primarily relates to the use of an aldehyde, substituted in alpha position by an alkyl residue, of the formulahaving(I) a total of 13 C atoms, whereinR means an unbranched alkyl residue having 6, 7, 8 or 9 C atoms andR′ means an unbranched alkyl residue having 2, 3, 4 or 5 C atoms,or(II) a total of 15 C atoms, whereinR means an unbranched alkyl residue having 8, 9, 10 or 11 C atoms andR′ means an unbranched alkyl residue having 2, 3, 4 or 5 C atoms,or a blend comprising or consisting of two, three or more such aldehydes of type (I) and / or (II),as an odoriferous or aroma substance.

The invention includes a method of increasing the substantivity of a personal care composition to hair, skin or nails by preparing a composition of an aqueous phase, a non-aqueous phase and a neutralized amino acid ester that is a reaction product of a neutral amino acid having a non-polar side chain with a long chain fatty alcohol and is represented by formula (I):wherein R1 is an alkyl group; R2 is a linear or branched carbon chain; and the amine group of the amino acid is neutralized with an acid. The composition is substantially free of petrochemicals and / or derivatives of petrochemical materials. The aqueous phase and the non-aqueous phase are emulsified by the neutralized amino acid ester. Other methods and an emulsifiers that is the neutralized amino acid ester are included. Because the neutralized amino acid ester and the compositions do not contain petrochemical-derived ingredient, the products are natural.
