Skin cleansing and moisturizing composition and method of using and preparing same
First Claim
1. A cleansing and moisturizing, occlusive skin care composition comprising, based on total weight of said composition:
- (1) an oil phase comprising oil selected from the group consisting of animal oils, vegetable oils, mineral oils, synthetic oils and mixtures thereof in an amount of from about 55% to about 75% and from about 5% to about 9% of a non-ionic surface active agent having an HLB number of about 7 to 12 and(2) an aqueous phase comprising an aqueous thickening agent selected from the group consisting of natural gums, synthetic gums, gelling agents and mixtures thereof in an amount of from about 0.05% to about 5% and water from about 20% to about 40%.and(3) an effective amount of an abrasive to remove oily deposits, cosmetics and particulates from skin surface, wherein said composition is prepared by(a) forming said oil phase by dissolving said non-ionic surface active agent into said oil and heating to about 60°
C. to about 80°
C. to facilitate solution;
(b) forming said aqueous phase by dispersing said aqueous thickening agent in water and heating to about 60°
C. to about 80°
C. to facilitate dispersing; and
(c) forming a stable oil-in-water emulsion by adding said oil phase to said aqueous phase with high shear mixing while maintaining said elevated temperature, wherein the addition of said oil phase to said aqueous phase is at a slow, uniform rate of at least about 10 minutes.

Abstract
A long lasting, esthetically pleasing skin cleansing and care moisturizing composition comprising
(1) an oil phase comprising oil from about 30% to about 80% and a non-ionic surface active agent having an HLB number of about 7 to about 12, wherein the non-ionic surface active agent is present in an amount of about 5% to about 9%;
(2) an aqueous phase comprising an aqueous thickening agent from about 0.05% to about 5% and water from about 15% to about 65% wherein the oil phase is added to the aqueous phase to form an emulsion has been developed,
(3) an effective amount of an abrasive to remove oily deposits, cosmetics and particulates from the skin surface.
The method of preparation of the composition and a method of treating skin with the composition are also disclosed.
