Pack cosmetic

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To provide a pack cosmetic which can be removed without washing, can be dried in a short time, and can form a dried film giving moderate astringent feeling to the skin, by adding crystalline cellulose to a peel-type pack containing an alginic acid salt. CONSTITUTION:The objective pack cosmetic can be obtained by reacting a water-soluble alginic acid salt (e.g. sodium alginate) with >=2-valent metal salt (e.g. calcium citrate) in the presence of water, and mixing the resultant film- forming gel of metal alginate (e.g. calcium alginate) with crystalline cellulose (microcrystalline cellulose powder). The amount of the water-soluble alginic acid salt, the >=2-valent metal salt and the crystalline cellulose are preferably 5-20pts.wt., 15-35pts.wt., and 45-70pts.wt., respectively. When the >=2-valent metal salt is a highly reactive salt such as calcium sulfate, etc., it is preferable to add 0-8pts.wt. of an alkali metal salt as a reaction regulator to suppress the gelling reaction.
