## Abstract

Cleansing compositions are provided. The mask cleansing composition includes a) A polyvinyl alcohol; b) At least one sugar alcohol; c) At least one surfactant; d) At least one or more hydrophobically-modified polymers; e) At least one silicone oil; and wherein the composition provides the self-bubbling action. The cleansing composition is free of perfluoro compound.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cleansing mask composition comprising:
a) from about 8 to about 20 wt. % of a polyvinyl alcohol;
b) from about 0.2 to about 10 wt. % of at least one sugar alcohol;
c) from about 0.1 to about 50 wt. % of at least one surfactant;
d) from about 0.2 to about 2 wt. % of at least one or more hydrophobically-modified polymers;
e) from about 0.1 to 5 wt. % of at least one silicone oil;
f) water; and
wherein the composition provides a self-bubbling action;
wherein the cleansing mask composition is free of perfluoro compounds; and
wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cleansing composition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1 that peels away in one piece from the skin.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the self-bubbling starts immediately after application of the composition onto the skin.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one sugar alcohols is selected from the group consisting of isomalt, mannitol, galactilol, fucitol, iditol, volemitol, lactilol, maltotriiol, maltotetraitol, polyglycitol, sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol, maltitol, inositol, erythritol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, and mixtures thereof.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one surfactant is selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants and combinations thereof.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one surfactant is selected from disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, coco-betaine and combinations thereof.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the one or more hydrophobically-modified polymers is selected from cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer, acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, acrylates/vinyl neodecanoate crosspolymer, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/steareth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer, ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate, glyceryl polyacrylate, ethyl hydroxyethylcellulose, methyl hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl guar, hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, peg-240/hdi copolymer bis-decyltetradeceth-20 ether, polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, steareth-100/peg-136/hdi copolymer, and combination thereof.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one silicone oil is a cyclic or linear silicone molecule having a viscosity of less than 8 cst.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one silicone oil is selected from disiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, divinyltetramethyldisiloxane, octamethyldisiloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane, dodecamethylpentasiloxane, hexadecamethylheptasiloxane, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, tetradecamethylhexasiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, ethyl trisiloxane, and combinations thereof.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The composition of claim 9, wherein the at least one silicone oil is present from about 0.2 to 5 wt. % of the total weight of the cleansing composition.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)
