A combination of an acidic functional polymer and zeolite and/or amorphous alumino silicate provides a gel suitable as a cosmetic vehicle plus supplying functionality as well. The components combine easily to provide a creamy gel that is compounded with other ingredients to provide the complete cosmetic composition. The zeolite or amorphous alumino silicate is present in a sufficient quantity to provide functionality as well as the desired rheology. The combination can be used to compound astringent creams or lotions, make-up bases, facial masks, deodorant compositions, antiperspirants, anti-acne compositions, wrinkle smoothers or erasers, pore minimizers, and body lotions. An especially useful zeolite or amorphous alumino silicate is a material that contains aluminum as the cation.
A cosmetic vehicle comprising a carboxyvinyl polymer with active carboxyl groups and a zeolite having the formula:
A cosmetic vehicle comprising 0.1 to 10% by weight of a high-molecular-weight organic polymer with active carboxyl groups and 5 to 25% by weight of a crystalline zeolite, and the balance to 100% by weight of water, said polymer-zeolite combination being a creamy gel with a pseudoplastic viscosity and having a pH of 5.5 to 8.5, said zeolite of the formula:
A cosmetic vehicle comprising a carboxyvinyl polymer with active carboxyl groups and a crystalline zeolite, said polymer-zeolite combination being a creamy gel with a pseudoplastic viscosity and having a pH of 5.5 to 8.5, said crystalline zeolite having the formula:
