Claims11
A method for removing transfer resistant make-up compositions comprising the step of applying a safe and effective amount of a make-up removing composition comprising:
- (i) from about 0.1 to about 30% of a non-spherical crosslinked siloxane elastomer said elastomer having a particle size of from above 10 to about 200 microns;
- (ii) from about 10 to about 80% of a solvent suitable for topical application to the skin having a solubility parameter of less than or equal to about 9 (cal./cm 3)1/2;
- (iii) optionally, from about 0% to about 90% water and;
- (iv) an emulsifier
- wherein the composition has a viscosity greater than about 20,000 cps.
