A microcapsule composition containing microcapsules is provided as is a method for making the microcapsule composition and using the microcapsule composition in consumer products.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A microcapsule composition comprising a plurality of microcapsules each containing a polymeric wall and an active material encapsulated within the polymeric wall, wherein the polymeric wall contains a milk protein or vegetable protein and 0.2% to 5% trimethylol propane-adduct of xylylene diisocyanate, based on the weight of the microcapsule composition, and the active material contains a fragrance, a profragrance, or both, wherein the microcapsule composition further comprises modified starch, xanthan, Arabic gum, or a combination thereof. 2. The microcapsule composition of claim 1 , wherein the protein has a molecular weight in the range of 1000 Daltons to 500,000 Daltons. 3. The microcapsule composition of claim 1 , wherein the active material further contains a flavor, malodor counteractive agent, anti-inflammatory agent, anesthetic, analgesic, anti-viral agent, anti-infectious agent, anti-acne agent, skin lightening agent, insect repellant, emollient, skin moisturizing agent, vitamin or derivative thereof, nanometer to micron size inorganic solid, polymeric or elastomeric particle, or combination thereof. 4. A consumer product comprising the microcapsule composition of claim 1 . 5. The consumer product of claim 4 , further comprising one or more different microcapsules, free active material, or a combination thereof. 6. The consumer product of claim 4 , wherein the consumer product is a shampoo, hair conditioner, body wash, detergent, softener, bar soap, scent booster, or hard surface cleaner.
