Abstract
Personal care compositions are provided that include acidified pectins at a concentration of about 2 to about 5% by weight. The acidified pectin includes a low ester pectin with a degree of esterification of about 30 to about 50 and a pH of about 2 to about 4. Desirably, the personal care composition is characterized as a viscous, fluid gel. Also provided are methods for preparing personal care compositions and methods for the use of personal care formulations.
Claims20
A method for preparing a personal care composition comprising:
- mixing an acidified pectin with water to provide a mixture, wherein the acidified pectin is extracted from a pectin-containing material and has a degree of esterification from about 30 to about 50 and a pH from about 2 to about 4;
- heating the mixture to a temperature from about 70° C. to about 90° C. for a time sufficient to dissolve the acidified pectin in the mixture;
- and
- cooling the mixture to a temperature below about 70° C. to provide a personal care composition characterized as a viscous, fluid gel.
