Appl. No.:

10/443394

Inventors:

Judith Lynne Kerschner - Hawthorne NJ, US
Stephen M. O'Connor - New York NY, US

Assignee:

Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, division of Conopco, Inc. - Greenwich CT

International Classification:

A61K 8/02
A61K 45/00

US Classification:

424401, 4242781

Abstract:

The present invention comprises a structured premix or “delivery vehicle” composition designed as a carrier to enhance the benefit (e. g. , via enhanced deposition or other mechanism) of a separate hydrophobic benefit agent(s) (for example, perfumes, skin lightening agents, etc. ), from personal product compositions (e. g. , liquid and bar cleansers, creams, emulsions, hair composition, deodorant etc. ). When the structured benefit agent composition is separately prepared and combined with the personal product composition (preferably while structured, premix composition is still in molten or liquid state), the personal product composition with structured benefit agent carrier provides enhanced deposition of the structured benefit agent and enhanced effect of the separate hydrophobic benefit agent(s) in or on the carrier or in the presence of structured benefit agent carrier.

US Classification:

510141, 510152, 510153, 510155

Abstract:

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which, when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced delivery of benefit agent from a carrying composition into which the premix is added. The use of structured benefit agent also enhances delivery of separate benefit agents in the premix (which may or may not be structured) and of separate benefit agents added separately from the premix.
