Personal care compositions comprising solid particles enterapped in a gel network

The present invention relates to a personal care composition comprising a three dimensional gel polymeric network comprising: a. a polymer; b. one or more solid particles that are entrapped within said polymer during polymerization of said polymer; and c. a solvent in which said polymer is dispersed. Another embodiment further includes at least one second colorant that is substantially similar to an at least one first colorant which is a solid particle and wherein said second colorant is dispersed within said composition but is not entrapped in said polymer and is separate and distinct from said network. In contrast, a third embodiment allows for the at least one second colorant to be substantially different from the at least one first colorant.

COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING A SILOXANE ELASTOMER

A skin treatment composition is provided which includes a crosslinked non-emulsifying siloxane elastomer, a volatile siloxane and at least 50% by weight of water. Inclusion of the elastomer provides a unique liquid/powdery feel when rubbed into the skin.

Cosmetic compositions
