Aqueous-based personal care product formula that combines friction-controlled fragrance encapsulation technology with a film forming compound

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an aqueous microcapsule composition comprising a plurality of microcapsule particles, a film-forming mixture, and an aqueous solvent. Each microcapsule particle comprises a sol-gel material and a volatile oil-soluble active ingredient encapsulated by the sol-gel material. The film-forming mixture of the present disclosure extends the efficacy of the volatile oil-soluble active ingredient encapsulated in the microcapsule particles by improving the adherence of the microcapsule particles to the substance to which the aqueous microcapsule composition is applied (e.g., a keratinous substance or a fabric). The aqueous microcapsule composition of the instant disclosure—which is free of formaldehyde and stable in aqueous solvents—is well-suited for use in aqueous personal care products.
