A water activated solid, emollient preparation is disclosed, said preparation having a homogenous crystal/gel matrix which is capable of incorporating up to 30% by weight of emollient and holding it in a solid form. When the preparation is rubbed on wet skin, it deposits an elegant occlusive emollient film. A method of pouring and cooling said product into bars is also disclosed.

Water activated solid emolient product and preparation thereof

A two-phase liquid cosmetic composition is provided comprising an oil phase, an organic liquid/water phase, and insoluble solid particles absorbed on the interface between the two phases wherein the solid particles comprise the in situ precipitation product of at least first and second salt solutions added to the oil phase and organic liquid/water phase during blending thereof. The insoluble salt precipitates facilitate dispersion of the oil phase in the form of 'spheres' or 'droplets' within the organic liquid/water phase thereby producing a liquid cosmetic having an aesthetically desirable appearance.
