Microdermabrasion composition and kit
First Claim
1. An anhydrous microdermabrasion composition comprising at least one water soluble abrasive salt component in an anhydrous fluid medium, said abrasive component being present in said composition in a concentration of 1-25 weight percent, said anhydrous fluid medium comprising:
- (i) a volatile silicone oil in a concentration of 5-25 weight percent;
(ii) an anhydrous organic solvent, said anhydrous solvent being effective to solvate natural skin oil;
(iii) a total water soluble emollient concentration of 1-20 weight percent, said water soluble emollient being effective to enhance moisturization properties of said composition on contact thereof with rinsing water;
(iv) a surfactant in a concentration of 2-60 weight percent; and
(v) an emollient ester in a concentration of 1-20 weight percent.

Abstract
A microdermabrasion composition is provided. The composition preferably has 2-60 weight percent surfactant, 5-60 weight percent volatile silicone oil, 8-50 weight percent anhydrous solvent, and 1-25 weight percent water soluble salt. The water soluble salt is most preferably sodium chloride. The composition is effective and safe for in-home microdermabrasion. A kit including such a microdermabrasion composition and an applicator sponge, and a method of microdermabrasion are also provided.
