Abstract
A structured cosmetic material which includes water, a fat component, an o/w emulsifier, a w/o emulsifier, a polysaccharide such as κ-carragheen forming a three-dimensional network, and optionally conventional components.
Claims11
A three dimensional structured cosmetic material comprising between 30 and 85% by weight of water, between 2 and 15% by weight of an o/w emulsifier and a w/o emulsifier, between 0.05 and 18% by weight k-carragheen which forms a three dimensional network, balance essentially a fat phase.
A process for the production of a firm cosmetic material comprising a three dimensional structured cosmetic material comprising water, a fat phase, an o/w emulsifier, a w/o emulsifier and a κ-carragheen which forms a three dimensional network comprising the steps of heating the fat constituents and the emulsifiers until they are highly fluid, dissolving the κ-carragheen in water combining the heated fat and the κ-carragheen agueous phases at a temperature in the range of between 50 and 100° C. to form a mixture, and thereafter homogenizing and cooling the mixture.
