Provided is a skin cleansing composition comprising the following components (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E): (A) 0.1 to 25 mass % of an ether oil which is in a liquid state at 25&#xb0; C., (B) 0.003 to 1 mass % of a water-soluble polymer comprising acrylic acid or methacrylic acid as a constitutional unit, (C) 1 to 30 mass % of a hydrocarbon oil having a viscosity of 15 mPa&#xb7;s or lower at 30&#xb0; C., (D) 60 to 95 mass % of water, and (E) 0.49 mass % or less of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of larger than 9, wherein the mass ratio of the component (B) to the component (A), (B)/(A) is from 0.0001 to 0.1, and the mass ratio between the component (A) and the component (C), (A)/((A)+(C)) is from 0.05 to 0.9.

Skin cleansing composition

A bulky sheet () has a first side (), a second side () opposite to the first side (), a plurality of macroscopic first recessed ridges () and a projection () on at least the first side (). The first recessed ridges () extend straight in a first direction at a predetermined interval. The projection () is located between the first recessed ridges () adjacent to each other. The projection () projects from the second side () toward the first side () of the bulky sheet ().

Bulky sheet and method for producing same

A process for producing a cosmetic-impregnated sheet which comprises applying and infiltrating a cosmetic base to and into a base sheet having on the surface thereof a retentive sheet capable of absorbing and retaining the cosmetic base at a shear rate of 10to 10s, the cosmetic base being applied to and infiltrated into the retentive sheet of the base sheet, and the cosmetic base, when subjected to a steady shear deformation at a shear rate of 2 sfor 100 seconds followed by a steady shear deformation at a stepwise increased shear rate of 20 s, showing no shear stress growth or showing such a shear stress growth that the difference between the peak shear stress B at a shear rate of 20 sand the equilibrium shear stress A at the same shear rate, B&#x2212;A, is 20% or smaller of the equilibrium shear stress A in the transition between the two shear rates.

Method of producing cosmetics-impregnated sheet

A sheet-like body cleaning material comprising a woven fabric or nonwoven fabric sheet impregnated with an aqueous cleaning liquid containing 10 to 30% by weight of a surfactant an 10 to 25% by weight of ethanol, wherein the aqueous cleaning liquid is contained in an amount of 0.5 to 4 g based on 1 g of the sheet.

Sheet-like body cleaning material

A base material for a wiping sheet on which powder is to be supported, wherein the ratio of the average pore diameter (D) of the surface of the base material while dry as measured by the mercury penetration method to the average particle diameter (d) of the powder, D/d, ranges from 0.03 to 30, and the base material while dry has a bulk softness of from 0.1 to 5 N/30 mm and a thickness of from 0.3 to 5 mm.

Base material for wiping sheet

A sheet pack includes a moisture-permeable support and a film-forming cosmetic material at least partially supported by the moisture-permeable support. The moisture-permeable support has a yield point in its elongation-stress curve, the stress fi at the yield point is at least about 2 N/50 mm, and the elongation at yield point Si (%) divided by the elongation at break Sb (%) is no more than about 0.8.

Sheet pack

A personal cleansing sheet with which the skin and hair can be easily cleansed of oily soils such as sebum and aqueous soils such as sweat or salts, has a structure in which an oily substance absorption layer that serves as a region that absorbs oil substances is laminated with an aqueous cleansing liquid retention layer that serves as a region that retains an aqueous cleansing liquid.

Personal cleansing sheet

A process for preparing glucose-1-phosphate from an .alpha.-glucan and orthophosphate using a phosphorylase immobilized onto an anion-exchange resin is disclosed. The anion-exchange resin used is a synthetic polymer resin into which an anion exchange group; a primary to quarternary ammonium group, a phosphonium group, or a sulfonium group, is introduced. This type of immobilized phosphorylase ensures (i) an effective utilization of phosphorylase, (ii) a higher reactivity of a higher absorbance of the phosphorylase to the resin, (iii) an excellent phosphorylase activity retention performance, and (iv) a higher physical strength of the resin.
