Abstract: Proteinaceous cellulose microparticles are provided. These microparticles comprise cellulose nanocrystals and one or more peptide, one or more protein, or a mixture thereof, wherein the nanocrystals and the peptide(s) and/or protein(s) are aggregated together to form the microparticles. In embodiments, the microparticles comprise silk fibroin and advantageously are hydrophobic and lipophilic. There are also provided cosmetic preparations comprising these microparticles. In advantageous embodiments, these cosmetic preparations comprise a water-in-oil emulsion or a lipophilic medium. Finally, there are also provided methods of producing the microparticles.

Abstract: A microparticle comprised of dried cellulose nanocrystals agglomerated together and forming said microparticle is provided, wherein the CNCs are surfaced-reduced carboxylated CNCs, and wherein the microparticle is nanoredispersible into its constituting cellulose nanocrystals in both aqueous and non-aqueous solvents. A method for producing nanoredispersible microparticles comprised of dried CNCs is also provided.
