Definitions
- This article comprises an absorptive sheet of single use disposable woven pad material adapted to remove cosmetics from the skin and capable of depositing a m0isturizing film in its place, which film can be removed with water alone, said sheet being impregnated with 1.5 to 3 times its Weight of an anhydrous composition consisting essentially of about 5 to 25% by weight of at least one dermatologically-acceptable non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of:
- esters of sorbitol with fatty acids having 12 to 18 carbon atoms (b) esters of sorbitol with fatty acids having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and the polyethenoxy ethers of said esters (c) polyethenoxy ethers of alkanes and alkyl phosphates having 12 to 18 carbon atoms in a major amount by weight of at least one dermatologically acceptable vehicle which is liquid at 20 C. selected from the group consisting of:
- alkanols having 8 to 18 carbon atoms "Ice The foregoing substances are well known to the chemist and are exemplified in the illustrative formulations below.
- An exemplary grade of suitable mineral oil has a viscosity of -95 SUS.
- the surfactant is preferably present in an amount of between about 10 and 20% by weight of the total anhydrous impregnating composition.
- impregnated sheets are conveniently packaged in a shallow, wide-mouthed jar which can conveniently be fabricated from a suitable plastic. Since the impregnant composition is anhydrous neither the sheet nor the jar need be hermetically sealed.
- the user When it is desired to employ these sheets, the user merely opens the jar, takes the pad and wipes the desired area. In many instances this will be sutficient to adequately remove the makeup and deposit a moisturizing film. This thin layer imparts a feeling of softness. If one wishes to remove this emollient film, the area can be rinsed with water.
- the sheet can be dipped or wetted with water prior to wiping.
- the oil-soluble makeup bases and their associated pigments are incorporated into the water-soluble or waterdispersable phase.
- the formation of an emulsion permits insoluble materials present in the cosmetic formulation to be suspended in the layer of the composition on the skin.
- the wetted area can then be wiped dry with a tissue or absorbent cotton and virtually all the makeup is removed in the process. It is then a matter of individual preference Whether to remove all traces of the moisturizing film on the skin or to wash it off using water, with or without soap. Unlike other chemical removers, no extraneous substances (besides water) are necessary to remove the remover.
- compositions to be employed in this invention may of course contain compatible additives.
- suitable perfumes and coloring agents may be incorporated in known manner for the puropse of imparting further cosmetic and esthetic elegance to the product.
- Compatible antibacterial agents such as the alkyl esters of para-hydroxy-benzoic acid (parabens), sorbic acid hexachlorophene and long-chain alkyl quaternary ammonium halides may also be incorporated.
- Other stabilizers, preservatives and antioxidants such as butylated hydroxy toluene, propyl gallate, nordihydroguaiaretic acid and citric acid can similarly be included.
- the pads (used synonymously with sheets) for use in my invention can be round, square or of any desired shape.
- the pad should have a surface area within the range of 2 to 7 square inches. It may be formed from any suitable absorbent fibrous material such as cotton, wool, linen, rayon, cellulose acetate, nylon, polyester, and mixtures thereof.
- the pad material can be treated in known manner to impart a softer and more pleasing hand.
- the pads employed in the following examples are circular (two inches in diameter) and are fabricated from 'plain woven, double-napped, bleached cotton flannel materiaL. These pads have an average weight of 0.246 gram and are impregnated with an average of 0.58 gram of the representative compositions below. Thus, each pad is impregnated with about 2.36 times its weight of the anhydrous composition. With pads of this type the impregnant composition is preferably within the range of 0.4 to 0.7 gram per pad in order to provide sufficient composition to adequately remove the usual amounts of cosmetic makeup and yet not be messy or hard to control. All parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.
- a sheet according to claim 1 wherein said surfactant is an ester of a polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight between about 200 and 600 with a fatty acid having 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
- a sheet according to claim 1 which contains about 0.4 to 0.7 gram of said anhydrous composition.
- a method for removing cosmetic material from an area of the skin comprising wiping said area with a sheet asdescribed in claim 1.
