LEAVE-ON COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CELLULOSE MATERIALS

摘要

The compositions and methods of this invention relate to a leave-on skin care composition containing hydrophobic, linear cellulose particles having an average length of from about 1 to about 500 μm, a particle aspect ratio from about 2 to about 25 and an average thickness of from about 1 to about 500 μm; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

主权项

1. A leave-on skin care composition, comprising:
hydrophobic, linear cellulose particles having an average length of from about 1 to about 500 μm, a particle aspect ratio from about 2 to about 20, a width of from about 1 to about 25 μm; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, wherein said hydrophobic, linear cellulosic particles comprise a coating of a hydrophobic agent selected from the group consisting of metal soap, organic wax, synthetic wax, long-chain fatty acids, long-chain fatty esters, non-water soluble polymers, high molecular water-insoluble fluoropolymers and polymerized siloxanes, and wherein the water contact angle of said hydrophobic, linear cellulose particles is greater than about 90 degrees.
