INORGANIC MATERIAL AS PARTICLES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, cosmetics, dermatology. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to producing cosmetic compositions for shelling off and/or massage, and/or cleansing skin. Strength of inorganic granulated material after its ultrasonic treatment at amplitude 60 mcm for 7 min is evaluated as residue less 5 wt. -% on wet sieve with pores size 45 mcm. Inorganic material has at least 95 wt. -% water-insoluble particle with mean- mass size less 20 mcm showing absorption of oil 90-145 cm³/100 g. This material is taken among amorphous SiO₂, alumina, CaCO₃, dicalcium phosphate, tribasic calcium phosphate, sodium meta-phosphate, calcium pyrophosphate, hydroxyapatite, perlite, zeolite, magnesium carbonate, pumice and water-insoluble particles with mean-mass size less 20 mcm and with absorption of oil 150-190 cm³/100 g, for example, amorphous silica, the balance. By another variant material has no amorphous silica with absorption of oil 90-145 cm³/100 g but it has amorphous silica with absorption of oil 130-190 cm³/100 g and with size of material particles 45-1000 mcm. Cosmetic compositions have 1-20 wt. -% of this material but 1-10 wt. -% is preferably. Use of indicated material in cosmetic compositions provides to perform soft cleansing with shelling off effect and formation of cream-like soft foam. EFFECT: improved quality and properties of material. 9 cl, 10 ex
