Description

  The present invention relates to a gel cosmetic that stably contains disintegrating particles and has excellent usability.

A cleaning composition containing particles (scrubbing agent) is useful for removing old keratin and removing dirt that has entered pores. A comfortable massage feeling can also be obtained by appropriate physical stimulation of the particles.
Such a cleaning composition is a disintegrating particle formed by agglomeration of at least a part of water-insoluble primary particles, which disintegrates in a water-soluble salt-containing aqueous solution due to a decrease in the concentration of the water-soluble salt. What contains particle | grains and water-soluble salt is known (patent document 1). However, since this detergent composition contains water-soluble salts so that the disintegrating particles do not disintegrate in the composition, it has been difficult to thicken the system using a polymer thickener.

On the other hand, polyhydric alcohol is generally used in cosmetics as a humectant. In addition, with the aim of improving the penetrability of active ingredients (Patent Document 2) and the purpose of keeping the coating film after massage long and stable (Patent Document 3), it is often used in cosmetics for special effects. In some cases, a large amount of a monohydric alcohol is added.
However, when polyhydric alcohol is blended in a large amount in cosmetics, the feel at the time of application may become heavy, massage properties may deteriorate, and stringiness may occur, making it difficult to handle. Furthermore, since it becomes sticky after rinsing, the blending amount is usually about several mass% to 10 mass%.
