Claims20
A composition for removing nail polish comprising at least about 10% by weight of at least one polyhydric alcohol compound, at least 10% by weight of at least one C2-C5 alcohol, at least 15% by weight of at least one high boiling point ester compound, at least one thickening agent, and at least 5% by weight of at least one water-soluble abrasive having a hardness which provides mechanical exfoliation during said removing of nail polish, wherein the composition comprises less than about 5% by weight of oil, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.
A method of removing nail polish from nails comprising applying a composition comprising at least about 10% by weight of at least one polyhydric alcohol compound, at least 10% by weight of at least one C2-C5 alcohol, at least 15% by weight of at least one high boiling point ester compound, at least one thickening agent, and at least 5% by weight of at least one water-soluble abrasive having a hardness which provides mechanical exfoliation during said removing of nail polish from nails, wherein the composition comprises less than about 5% by weight of oil, all weights being based on the weight of the composition, to nails onto which nail polish has been previously applied and removing the nail polish from the nails.
