This invention involves skin cleaning products and tapes for removing keratotic plugs, dirt and other debris found on the skin and in skin pores and comprising a starch based remoistenable adhesive composition wherein the starch has from about 0 to 70% by weight amylose content and is converted to from about 30 WF to 20 DE.
Claims25
A skin cleaning product comprising a substrate backing material with a starch based remoistenable adhesive composition applied to one surface of the substrate, the starch composition having about 0 to 70% by weight of amylose content, said starch having been converted to a degree of degradation in the range of from about 30 WF to 20 DE.
The method of removing keratotic plugs and other dirt from skin surfaces which comprise applying a starch based adhesive composition which is attached to a substrate backing material to a wet skin surface, allowing the wetted starch composition to dry and removing the dried starch composition and backing material from the skin along with attached keratotic plugs and other dirt, wherein the starch composition has from about 0 to 70% by weight of amylose content, said starch having been converted to a degree of degradation in the range of from about 30 WF to 20 DE.
