Abstract
The compositions and methods of this invention relate to a rinse-off skin care composition containing hydrophobic, linear cellulose particles having an average length of from about 1 to about 1000 μm, a particle aspect ratio from about 1000 to about 2 and a thickness of from about 1 to about 500 μm; at least one cleansing agent selected from the group consisting of a saponified fat and a surfactant; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.
Claims17
A rinse-off skin care composition, comprising:
- hydrophobic, linear cellulose particles having an average length of from about 1 to about 1000 μm, a particle aspect ratio from about 1000 to about 2 and a thickness of from about 1 to about 500 μm;
- at least one cleansing agent selected from the group consisting of a saponified fat and a surfactant;
- and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, wherein said hydrophobic, linear cellulosic particles comprise a coating of a hydrophobic agent selected from the group consisting of metal soap, organic wax, synthetic wax, long-chain fatty acids, long-chain fatty esters, non-water soluble polymers, high molecular water-insoluble fluoropolymers and polymerized siloxanes, and wherein the water contact angle of said hydrophobic, linear cellulose particles is greater than about 90 degrees.
