Description

A Fragrance PodAREA OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention refers to the area of fragrances and discloses a fragrance pod for application in personal care.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The 21st century is also referred to as the hedonistic age, in which both sexes attach great importance to physical appearance. This refers not only to the preferred clothing, but also to wearing the right fragrance for every occasion, in order to underline the desired impression on the other person. As different as these occasions are, so different are the fragrances that are to convey a message. In the morning, at the start of the working day, it may be a youthful, fresh fragrance, in the afternoon a sporty note, while in the evening it may also be a heavy perfume. Of course, consumers can accommodate this desire by having several fragrances at his or her disposal, depending on the occasion.

[0003] However, the fragrance palette of perfumers seems to be inexhaustible. New creations are constantly entering the market, replacing less successful products or seeking their own niche. But the vast selection makes it difficult for consumers to make a choice. Perfumes are often luxury products, of which only a small number are usually kept at home. Buying new, perhaps still unknown products, which at the end of the day are not to one's liking and are sooner or later discarded, is a costly affair and not sustainable.

[0004] The market has therefore long been interested in being able to sell the consumer several fragrances at the same time as making a single purchase decision. So far, this has been solved with ensembles of various well-known fragrances, which are bottled in miniatures of the original flacons and then sold together. This solution is naturally very complex and expensive, and has not become established in the market. Equally well known is the addition of various perfumes in inconspicuous spray containers with a few milliliters of content, which perfumeries add to their customers as "samples" when they purchase other items. However, this only serves to arouse interest.

[0005] Therefore, there is still a need in the market for new delivery forms of fragrances that have a highly individualized character and, above all, make it possible, to select the most suitable one for the specific occasion from a wide range of perfumes, without having to stock a large number of different fragrances for this purpose.

[0006] A further problem of perfumes and fragrances is their stability as well as their solubility. Thus, fragrance compositions in general contain ethanol which contributes to the solubility and thus also to the stability of fragrance raw materials. However, if ethanol is used itoo often on human skin, it destroys the skin's own substances that keep it healthy. In addition, alcohol has an astringent effect and can dry out the skin. Thus, there is a need in the market for fragrance compositions that are free of ethanol.RELEVANT PRIOR ART

[0011] US 10736472 B (FIRMENICH) concerns a lathering and body scrubbing cleansing device comprised of a silicone and mesh pod portion which contains at least one soap additive as well as the method of making the same.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Therefore, it has been the problem underlying the present invention to provide fragrance compositions in a new dosage form which permits the individual production of a perfume for single use. The aim was to design the dosage form in such a way that the fragrance composition is present in encapsulated form, whereby the capsule is on the one hand stable over a long period of time in relation to the filling, but on the other hand is rapidly and completely soluble in water. Another task has been providing a dosage form that is free of ethanol, can be easy transformed into an applicable product by mixing with water and requires no additional packaging to improve sustainability of the product.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] A first object of the present invention refers to a fragrance pod, comprising or consisting of(i) an envelope and(ii) a filling wherein(a) said envelope comprises by at least 75 wt. -percent of a water-soluble polymer and(b) said filling composition comprising or consisting of(bl ) at least one fragrance raw material;(b2) at least one moisturizer; and(b3) water.

[0014] The present invention provides portioned fragrances, each sufficient for one application. For this purpose, the pods are placed in water, where the filling almost instantly dissolves. The aqueous fragrance solution thus obtained can be applied to skin and hair like a perfume, or it can be used to scent textiles or hard surfaces. The special advantage is that in one sales container there are single-use pods, which contain different fragrances per unit, so that an appropriate selection is possible. Moreover, the pods are free of ethanol and need no additional packaging, which supports sustainability in view of the environment.

[0015] The principle of the pods is known from the prior art in the field of detergents (particularly from US company Nohbo Inc) but it cannot be adopted without further ado, since fragrances have a tendency to attack, shrink or tear the polymer films that form the shell. Furthermore, the fragrance compositions of the prior art comprise ethanol for stability reasons. However, already mentioned above, the use of ethanol in perfumes or cosmetic products is often viewed critically. For example, ethanol can destroy the sebum layer of human skin and it also has hygroscopic properties. This means that ethanol attracts water, which can lead to drying and cracking of human skin. Moreover, ethanol contributes to the increased production of free radicals. These unstable molecules damage human skin and collagen framework, which is responsible for firm skin. In the worst case, ethanol leads to the initiation of apoptosis. Along with a lack of moisture, free radicals are one of the main reasons for the formation of wrinkles.

[0016] Surprisingly, applicant has found that fragrance compositions, preferably fragrance compositions without ethanol, can stably be encapsulated in thin shells of water-soluble polymers ("envelopes") if the fragrance compositions also contain moisturizers and water. Otherwise, the envelopes dry out quickly, initially become unsightly and eventually disintegrate. Another advantage is that the pods are completely dissolved and thus, no waste material remains.PolymersThe envelope forming the pod and encapsulating the fragrance compositions as its filling needs to be a water-soluble polymer, preferably a polymer which is readily biodegradable according to OECD 301 F. Preferred films comprise polymers containing at least 75 wt.- percent, preferably about 85 to about 95 wt.-percent polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, the preferred films comprise polymers containing at least 75 wt.-percent, preferably about 85 to about 95 wt.-percent polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Typically, films are used showing a thickness of from about 10 to about 100 pm and preferably from about 35 to about 80 pm. PVA films of this quality are for example available from Foshan Polyva Materials.Fragrance raw materials

[0017] The "fragrance raw material" in the sense of the present invention forming compound (b1) is therefore any raw material which brings a smell or contribute to have a good scent in the final association of many fragrance raw materials.
