A composition for use in the delivery of a first active agent and a second active agent, the first active agent being sequentially deliverable after the second active agent, the composition comprising hollow mineral microtubules, each of the hollow mineral microtubules having a length, and opposing ends; and including a cylindrical wall, and a hollow lumen; and a central region, an intermediate region, and an outer region along the length; and within the microtubules, the first active agent disposed within the lumen in the central region of the microtubules, and the second active agent disposed within the lumen in the intermediate region of the microtubules. The composition may also be provided for the delivery of three or more active agents in sequence. There is further provided methods for making the compositions of the present invention.

We claim: 1. A composition for use in the delivery of a first active agent and a second active agent, said first active agent being sequentially deliverable after said second active agent, said composition comprising: a. hollow mineral microtubules, each of said hollow mineral microtubules having a length, and opposing ends; and including a cylindrical wall, and a hollow lumen; and a central region, an intermediate region, and an outer region along said length; and b. within said microtubules, said first active agent disposed within said lumen in said central region of said microtubules, and said second active agent disposed within said lumen in said intermediate region of said microtubules. 2. The composition as recited in claim 1, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are selected from the group consisting of halloysite, cylindrite, boulangerite, and imogolite and mixtures thereof. 3. The composition as recited in claim 2, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are halloysite microtubules. 4. The composition as recited in claim 1, wherein said first active agent is a depilatory agent. 5. The composition as recited in claim 4, wherein said second active agent is a moisturizing agent. 6. The composition as recited in claim 4, wherein said second active agent is an anesthetic agent. 7. The composition as recited in claim 1, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are further comprised of an endcap at each of said opposing ends. 8. The composition as recited in claim 1, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are dispersed in a carrier fluid. 9. A composition for use in the delivery of a first active agent, a second active agent, and a third active agent, said first active agent being sequentially deliverable after said second active agent, and said second active agent being sequentially deliverable after said third active agent, said composition comprising: a. hollow mineral microtubules, each of said hollow mineral microtubules having a length, and opposing ends; and including a cylindrical wall, and a hollow lumen; and a central region, an intermediate region, and an outer region along said length; and b. within said microtubules, said first active agent disposed within said lumen in said central region of said microtubules, said second active agent disposed within said lumen in said intermediate region of said microtubules, and said third active agent disposed within said lumen in said outer region of said microtubules. 10. The composition as recited in claim 9, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are selected from the group consisting of halloysite, cylindrite, boulangerite, and imogolite and mixtures thereof. 11. The composition as recited in claim 10, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are halloysite microtubules. 12. The composition as recited in claim 11, wherein said first active agent is a depilatory agent. 13. The composition as recited in claim 12, wherein said second active agent is a moisturizing agent. 14. The composition as recited in claim 13, wherein said third active agent is an anesthetic agent. 15. The composition as recited in claim 9, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are further comprised of an endcap at each of said opposing ends. 16. The composition as recited in claim 9, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are dispersed in a carrier fluid. 17. A method for preparing a composition for use in the delivery of a first active agent, and a second active agent, said first active agent being sequentially deliverable after said second active agent, said method comprising the steps of: a. providing hollow mineral microtubules, each of said hollow mineral microtubules having a length, and opposing ends; and including a cylindrical wall, and a hollow lumen; and a central region, an intermediate region, and an outer region along said length; b. filling said hollow mineral microtubules with said first active agent; c. eluting said first active agent in said microtubules, thereby removing said first active agent from said outer region and said intermediate region of said microtubules; and d. filling said intermediate region with said second active agent. 18. The method as recited in claim 17, further comprising the step of forming an endcap at each of said opposing ends of said microtubules. 19. The method as recited in claim 18, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are selected from the group consisting of halloysite, cylindrite, boulangerite, and imogolite and mixtures thereof. 20. The method as recited in claim 19, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are halloysite microtubules. 21. The method as recited in claim 17, further comprising the step of dispersing said microtubules in a carrier fluid. 22. A method for preparing a composition for use in the delivery of a first active agent, a second active agent, and a third active agent, said first active agent being sequentially deliverable after said second active agent, and said second active agent being sequentially deliverable after said third active agent, said method comprising the steps of: a. providing hollow mineral microtubules, each of said hollow mineral microtubules having a length, and opposing ends; and including a cylindrical wall, and a hollow lumen; and a central region, an intermediate region, and an outer region along said length; b. filling said hollow mineral microtubules with said first active agent; c. eluting said first active agent in said microtubules, thereby removing said first active agent from said outer region and said intermediate region of said microtubules; d. filling said intermediate region and said outer region of said microtubules with said second active agent; e. eluting said second active agent in said microtubules, thereby removing said second active agent from said outer region of said microtubules; and f. filling said outer region with said third active agent. 23. The method as recited in claim 22, further comprising the step of forming an endcap at each of said opposing ends of said microtubules. 24. The method as recited in claim 22, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are selected from the group consisting of halloysite, cylindrite, boulangerite, and imogolite and mixtures thereof. 25. The method as recited in claim 24, wherein said hollow mineral microtubules are halloysite microtubules. 26. The method as recited in claim 22, further comprising the step of dispersing said microtubules in a carrier fluid.
