Combination of hollow microspheres of a thermoplastic synthetic material, hexagonal boron nitride and N-acyl lysine as a homogenization agent for cosmetic compacted powders

A homogenization agent for use in the preparation of a cosmetic powder composition in pressed or compact form so as to impart fluidity to said cosmetic powder composition, said homogenization agent consisting of a combination of three components which assist and improve the homogenization of the particulate ingredients of said cosmetic powder composition, said three components being;

• x weight percent of hollow microspheres of a thermoplastic non-toxic and nonirritating synthetic polymeric material having a specific mass lower than 0.1 g/cm.sup.3 and having a size lower than 30 .mu.m and being selected from the group consisting of an ethylenic hydrocarbon, a polyester, a polyamide, a urea formaldehyde polymer and a copolymer of vinylidene chloride,
• y weight percent of particles of hexagonal boron nitride, and
• z weight percent of N-acyl lysine wherein the acyl moiety has 8 to 18 carbon atoms,
• wherein x, y and z are numbers varying, respectively, in the following ranges:
• x:
• 0.2-30,
• y;
• 0.2-90,
• z:
• 8-99.78
• and wherein the sum of X+y+z=100.
