Abstract

There is provided herein an extended longevity fragrance delivery composition which includes (a) acid-functional silicone, (b) fragrance, and; (c) water and/or organic solvent and, optionally, (d) at least one emulsifier or suspending agent, wherein acid-functional silicone (a) is present in a fragrance longevity-enhancing amount. There is also provided a process of making the fragrance delivery composition comprising combining (a)-(c) and optionally (d), applying the aqueous emulsion or suspension on a hair, skin, fabric or hard surface, and allowing the film to dry to form an ionically crosslinked film or residue which entraps the fragrance providing for long term fragrance effect to the hair, skin, fabric or hard surface.

First claim

1 . A fragrance delivery composition comprising:
(a) a fragrance longevity-enhancing amount of neutralized acid-functional silicone of the general formula (I):

2 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 in the form of an aqueous or organic solvent emulsion.

3 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 in the form of an aqueous or organic solvent suspension.

4 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 in the form of an organic solvent solution or miscible mixture of organic solvent and water.

5 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein in neutralized acid-functional silicone (a), subscripts a, d, e, f, and g are 0, subscript b is 2, subscript c is from 0 to 300 and each R i is independently of the general formula (II):

wherein
R 10 is a divalent hydrocarbon moiety selected from alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl containing from 1 to about 60 carbon atoms, and
R 11 is selected from hydrogen, alkali metal, an aminium group or a quaternized nitrogen group.

6 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 from which water and/or organic solvent have been removed.

7 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein neutralized acid-functional silicone (a) has a pH of from about 5 to about 9.

8 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein the neutralized acid-functional silicone (a) is present in an amount of from about 0.01 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the emulsion or suspension.

9 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 further comprising an emulsifier or suspending agent (d) which is selected from the group consisting of a non-ionic surfactant, ionic surfactant, anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfacant and combinations thereof.

10 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 9 wherein surfactant (d) is selected from the group consisting of hexylbenzenesulfonic acid, octylbenzenesulfonic acid, decylbenzylsulfonic acid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, cetylbenzenesulfonic acid, myristylbenzenesulfonic acid and the salts of said acids; octyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, dodecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, octyldimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, decyldimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, dioctadecyldimethylammonium hydroxide, beef tallow trimethylammonium hydroxide, coconut oil trimethylammonium hydroxide, ethylene oxide adduct of diethylene glycol trimethyl nonanol, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyoxyalkylene sorbitan ester, polyoxyalkylene alkyl ester, polyoxyalkylene alkyl phenol, polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether and combinations thereof.

11 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein the at least one fragrance compound (b) is obtained from a source selected from the group consisting of essential oils, flower oils, natural extracts from resins, gums, balsams, beans, mosses, plants, ambergris, musk, synthetic aromatic materials and combinations thereof.

12 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein the at least one fragrance compound (b) has a scent that is selected from the group consisting of citrus, floral, spicy, lavender, woody, mossy, oriental, herbal, leather-tobacco, aldehydic groups and combinations thereof.

13 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein the at least one fragrance compound (b) is present in an amount of from about 0.01 wt % to about 10 wt % based on the total weight of the emulsion or suspension.

14 . The fragrance delivery composition of claim 1 wherein the dispersed oil phase of the aqueous emulsion or suspension has a diameter of from 1 to about 100 nm.

15 . A process of making a fragrance delivery composition comprising combining
(a) a fragrance longevity-enhancing amount of emulsion or suspension neutralized acid-functional silicone of the general formula (I):
M a M i b D c D i d T e T i f Q g   (I)

wherein M=R 1 R 2 R 3 SiO 1/2 ; M i =R 4 R 5 R i SiO 1/2 ; D=R 6 R 7 SiO 2/2 ; D i =R 8 R i SiO 2/2 T=R 9 SiO 3/2 ; T i =R i SiO 3/2 ; Q=SiO 4/2 ; where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are each independently selected from the group of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 60 carbon atoms, R i is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 2 to 60 carbon atoms and containing one or more acid functionality groups selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid-, phosphonic acid- and sulfonic acid-containing acid, their salts and combinations thereof, and subscripts a, b, c, d, e, f, and g are independently zero or a positive number subject to the limitations b+d+f≧1 and a+b+c+d+e+f<1000; (b) fragrance; and, (c) water and/or organic solvent under emulsion-, suspension- or organic solvent solution-forming conditions.
