HYDROPHILIC BEADS FOR USE IN TOPICAL FORMULATIONS

摘要

A composition and method for producing hydrophilic beads for use in topical formulations is described as generally including gellan gum, salts of divalent cations and water. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to realize improved production and/or use of hydrophilic beads to achieve a particular desired purpose. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide hydrophilic beads that may be comixed with cosmetic, cosmeceutical and/or topical preparations for surface abrasion or as carriers for the delivery of other compounds; such as, aloe vera, ascorbic acid, active agents, and/or the like.
