Solid cosmetic composition

摘要

A solid cosmetic composition is provided comprising (i) an outer layer comprising (a) a hard vegetable butter in an amount of 10 to 45 wt.% based on the outer layer, and (b) a soft vegetable butter in an amount of 55 to 80 wt.% based on the outer layer; and (ii) inner core which is (a) a soft vegetable butter composition; (b) a fondant; or (c) a liquid cosmetic. The composition has the advantage that the solid composition melts on contact with the skin so that the user is not subjected to an unpleasant feeling of a hard an un-melted butter being applied to the skin. The composition has particular utility as a massage bar.
