Patent ID: 8076280

Claim:
An emulsion comprising an organic discontinuous phase which is distributed throughout a continuous aqueous phase, wherein the organic phase comprises a) C12-15 alkyl benzoate organic solvent and b) an addition polymer formed from 40 to 90% by weight stearyl methacrylate, 10 to 40% by weight of maleic anhydride and 30 to 50% by weight styrene as an organic phase stabilising material, where the emulsion further comprises an encapsulated fragrance, said fragrance is encapsulated in microparticles, wherein the microparticles comprise a core-shell configuration and wherein the shell part of the microparticle comprises a polymer formed from the combination of acrylic acid and styrene, and wherein the core part of the microparticle comprises a polymer formed from the combination of styrene and 2-ethylhexylacrylate.
