Abstract

Antiperspirant and deodorant compositions that include capsules characterized by substantially inorganic shells. The present disclosure further relates to methods of making and using such compositions.

Claims (58)

1. An antiperspirant or deodorant composition comprising

a population of capsules,

the capsules comprising a core and a shell surrounding the core,

wherein the core comprises perfume raw materials,

wherein the shell comprises:

a substantially inorganic first shell component comprising

a condensed layer and a nanoparticle layer, wherein the condensed layer comprises a condensation product of a precursor,

wherein the nanoparticle layer comprises inorganic nanoparticles, and

wherein the condensed layer is disposed between the core and the nanoparticle layer;

an inorganic second shell component surrounding the first shell component, wherein the second shell component surrounds the nanoparticle layer;

wherein the precursor comprises at least one compound from the group consisting of Formula (I), Formula (II), and a mixture thereof,

wherein Formula (I) is (M v O z Y n ) w ,

wherein Formula (II) is (M v O z Y n R 1 p ) w ,

wherein for Formula (I), Formula (II), or the mixture thereof:

each M is independently selected from the group consisting of silicon, titanium, and aluminum,

v is the valence number of M and is 3 or 4,

z is from 0.5 to 1.6,

each Y is independently selected from —OH, —OR 2 , halogen,

—NH 2 , —NHR 2 , —N(R 2 ) 2 , and

wherein R 2 is a C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 1 to C 20 alkylene, C 6 to C 22 aryl, or a 5-12 membered heteroaryl, wherein the heteroaryl comprises from 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms selected from O, N, and S,

wherein R 3 is a H, C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 1 to C 20 alkylene, C 6 to C 22 aryl, or a 5-12 membered heteroaryl, wherein the heteroaryl comprises from 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms selected from O, N, and S,

w is from 2 to 2000;

wherein for Formula (I),

n is from 0.7 to (v−1); and

wherein for Formula (II),

n is from 0 to (v−1),

each R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of: a C 1 to C 30 alkyl; a C 1 to C 30 alkylene; a C 1 to C 30 alkyl substituted with a member selected from the group consisting of a halogen, —OCF 3 , —NO 2 , —CN, —NC, —OH, —OCN, —NCO, alkoxy, epoxy, amino, mercapto, acryloyl, —CO 2 H, —C(O)-alkyl, —C(O)O-aryl, and —C(O)O-heteroaryl; and a C 1 to C 30 alkylene substituted with a member selected from the group consisting of a halogen, —OCF 3 , —NO 2 , —CN, —NC, —OH, —OCN, —NCO, alkoxy, epoxy, amino, mercapto, acryloyl, —C(O)OH, —C(O)O-alkyl, —C(O)O-aryl, and —C(O)O-heteroaryl; and

p is a number that is greater than zero and is up to pmax,

wherein p max=60/[9 *Mw (R 1 )+8],

 wherein Mw(R 1 ) is the molecular weight of the R 1 group.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the precursor comprises at least one compound according to Formula (I).

3. The composition claim 1 , wherein the precursor comprises at least one compound according to Formula (II).

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the population of capsules is characterized by one or more of the following:

(a) a mean volume weighted capsule diameter of about 10 μm to about 200 μm;

(b) an average shell thickness of about 170 nm to about 1000 nm;

(c) a volumetric core/shell ratio of from about 50:50 to 99:1;

(d) the first shell component comprises no more than about 5% of organic content, by weight of the first shell component; or

(e) a mixture thereof.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), or both are characterized by one or more of the following:

(a) a Polystyrene equivalent Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) of from about 700 Da to about 30,000 Da;

(b) a degree of branching of 0.2 to about 0.6;

(c) a molecular weight polydispersity index of about 1 to about 20; or

(d) a mixture thereof.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein for Formula (I), Formula (II), or both, M is silicon.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein for Formula (I), Formula (II), or both, Y is OR, wherein R is selected from a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, or a butyl group.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the second shell component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, silica, and a combination thereof.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic nanoparticles of the first shell component comprise at least one of metal nanoparticles, mineral nanoparticles, metal-oxide nanoparticles and/or semi-metal oxide nanoparticles.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic second shell component comprises at least one of SiO 2 , TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , CaCO 3 , Ca 2 SiO 4 , Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , iron, silver, nickel, gold, copper, and/or clay.

11. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising ethanol.
