摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved fragrance controlled release system that can be incorporated into anhydrous consumer and cosmetic products such as powder laundry detergents, underarm deodorant or antiperspirant sticks, soap bars, body deodorant powders, foot spray, hygiene sprays, feminine napkin sprays, undergarment sprays, and the like that provides a high intensity odor signal such as a high impact fragrance burst in response to moisture. A selected fragrance is encapsulated in a water-sensitive matrix material. The high impact fragrance burst in response to moisture is achieved by formulating the fragrance or fragrance ingredients that are encapsulated to provide improved fragrance release in response to moisture. The encapsulated fragrance is formulated by combining fragrance ingredients such that their interaction with water results in increasing their relative content in the headspace of the system proximate environment after the system has been exposed to moisture. Examples of suitable fragrance ingredients have ClogP ≤ 4.0 and boiling point ≤ 300 degrees C. The present invention also can provide multiple fragrance bursts in response to moisture. Multiple fragrance bursts can be achieved by formulating the moisture sensitive matrix material with materials having different dissolution rates. The invention further relates to anhydrous consumer and cosmetic product compositions comprising the improved fragrance controlled release system of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved controlled delivery system that can be incorporated in dry granular, or powder, fabric care products, such as laundry detergents, tumble dryer sheets, rinse added products, and other fabric care products, to enhance fragrance performance. The controlled delivery system of the present invention comprises substantially free-flowing, powder formed of solid hydrophobic, positively charged, nano-spheres of encapsulated active ingredients, such as a fragrance, that are encapsulated in a moisture sensitive micro-spheres, solid spheres. The high cationic charge density of the nano-sphere improves fragrance deposition onto the laundered fabric. The high cationic charge density on the nano-sphere surface is created by incorporating a cationic fabric conditioning agent into the solid hydrophobic matrix of the nano-spheres, by incorporating a cationic charge "booster" in the water sensitive micro-sphere matrix, or by using a cationic fabric conditioning agent in the nano-sphere matrix in conjunction with a cationic charge "booster" in the micro-sphere matrix. The fragrance carrier system also provides controlled release or prolonged fragrance release from the dry laundered fabric over an extended period of time, or yields a high impact fragrance "burst" upon ironing the fabric. The invention also pertains to fabric care products comprising the controlled release system of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel controlled release carrier system for pH or salt triggered release and targeted delivery of fragrances and other active ingredients onto fabric, hair, skin, and other biological surfaces and which provides prolonged release of fragrances and other active ingredients over an extended period of time, or yields a high impact fragrance 'burst' upon treating the target surface with heat (blow drying the hair, ironing the fabric). The controlled delivery system of the present invention is substantially a free-flowing powder formed of solid hydrophobic nano-spheres comprising the fragrance and other active ingredients that are encapsulated in a pH or salt sensitive micro-spheres. Also described are processes for preparing such compositions and processes for using same. Furthermore, certain components of the aforementioned compositions in combination with one another are novel, and other components have novel uses in increasing fragrance substantivity, particularly in fabric, hair, and skin care preparations. The invention further pertains to consumer and diversified products comprising the controlled release system of the present invention.
摘要:
The invention is drawn to multi component controlled release system that can be incorporated in oral care products, nutraceutical, food products and beverates to effectively encapsulate one or multiple active agents and sensory markers, such as flavors, cooling agents and sweeteners.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an oral drug delivery system which delivers pharmaceutical active ingredients into the cell and/or its nucleus for the effective administration of nucleic acids including gene therapy, vaccination, administration of gene based drugs or administration of gene based treatment modalities, including the use of sense, antisense nucleotide sequences, antigens, antibodies, ribozymes, as well as oligonucleotides and polynucleotide constructs for gene correction. These actives may also include viruses, vectors, proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids, DNA or RN fragments, which code functionally active or inactive or conditionally inactivatable proteins. The controlled delivery system of the present invention is substantially a free-flowing powder consisting of solid hydrophobic nanospheres encapsulated in pH sensitive microspheres. The controlled release system can be used to target and control the release of pharmaceutical active ingredients onto certain regions of the gastrointestinal tract, specially the small intestine. The invention further pertains to pharmaceutical products comprising the controlled release system of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a patch for controlled topical or transdermal delivery of effective levels of cosmetic, dermatological, and pharmaceutical active ingredients onto the skin, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands, with minimal discomfort and ease of use. The patch can be transparent or clear and comprises a rate-controlling matrix layer. The matrix layer comprises water-sensitive, bioadhesive, film forming polymers, a water soluble oligomer, and a surfactant. The cosmetic, dermatological, and pharmaceutical active ingredients are soluble or dispersed in the matrix. The patch becomes tacky when wetted and adheres onto the skin. The adhesive properties of the patch are sufficient to maintain the patch in place on the skin for the recommended treatment period while allowing the patch to be readily removed without causing skin irritation or leaving adhesive residue on the skin.
