Cosmetic composition containing microencapsulated solvents for nail enamel

Claim 1

A process for the preparation of a cosmetic blotting paper toweling composition consisting essentially of a flexible solid blotting paper toweling support having a multiplicity of microcapsules, encapsulating said cosmetic, homogeneously distributed therein, said flexible solid blotting paper toweling support being adapted when cut to towels to be applied topically to the skin and said microcapsules having average dimensions of 50 to 100 microns and being rupturable by mechanical pressure to release said cosmetic, the walls of said microcapsules being inert to said cosmetic, the steps comprising dispersing said microcapsules in a liquid blotting paper paste phase which on solidification by draining and drying yields said flexible blotting paper toweling support, said microcapsules being dispersed therein at a time when said liquid blotting paper paste phase has a density close to that of said microcapsules so that said microcapsules are homogeneously distributed therein and solidifying by draining and drying said liquid blotting paper paste phase having said microcapsules homogeneously distributed therein to produce said cosmetic composition.
