Abstract
Skin-tightening compositions and methods for using the same, which provide a long-lasting skin-tightening effect and a mattifying finishing effect are described. The skin-tightening composition may be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and comprise one or more polyvalent silicates; one or more cellulose thickeners; one or more clays selected from hectorite and organically modified hectorites; one or more polysaccharide film forming agents; one or more polyols; one or more acrylate polymers; and water. The skin-tightening compositions are useful for improving the appearance of skin, especially skin of the neck and face.
Claims20
A skin-tightening composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
- (a) at least 1 to about 15 wt. % of montmorillonite;
- (b) about 1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more cellulose thickeners;
- (c) about 1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more clays selected from hectorite and organically modified hectorites;
- (d) about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more polysaccharide film forming agents;
- (e) about 1 to about 25 wt. % of one or more polyols;
- (f) about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more acrylate polymers;
- and
- (g) about 50 to about 90 wt. % of water,
- wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.
3-5. (canceled)
The skin-tightening composition
- (i) about 0.1 to about 20 wt. % of one or more emulsifiers.

- (a) at least 1 to about 15 wt. % of magnesium aluminum silicate;
- (b) about 1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more cellulose thickeners;
- (c) about 1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more clays selected from hectorite and organically modified hectorites;
- (d) about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of pullulan, galactoarabinan, or a mixture thereof;
- (e) about 1 to about 25 wt. % of one or more polyols;
- (f) about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of one or more acrylate polymer;
- (g) about 50 to about 90 wt. % of water;
- (h) one or more fatty compounds;
- and
- (i) about 0.1 to about 20 wt. % of one or more emulsifiers,
- wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.
