Abstract:

Microcapsule is a kind of tiny ‘shell-core’ complex structure formed by film-forming materials coating gaseous, liquid or solid active ingredients. Microencapsulation can effectively reduce the influence of the external environment on the encapsulated ingredients, enhancing the stability of the active ingredients. Moreover, microencapsulation can control the release of encapsulated materials by mechanical technique, heating or chemical reaction, which markedly improves the performance of encapsulated materials. Diverse types of microcapsules with controlled performance have been widely used in many industrial fields, such as cosmetics, perfume, food, medicine, pesticides, flame retardants, papermaking, textile dyeing and textile finishing. Herein, the development of microencapsulation technology, the basic properties of microcapsules, the categories of microcapsule wall materials, and the functional properties of microcapsules were introduced. Furthermore, the typical applications of microencapsulation in hair lotion, hair dye, sun screener, functional cosmetics and several perfumes in recent years were mentioned. The research and development trend of microencapsulation was also briefly pointed out.

Key words: microcapsule, wall material, controlled release, cosmetic, preparation, application
