Abstract
The present invention relates to cosmetic applicators comprised of a sheet of porous or absorbent material which is impregnated with an oil-in-water emulsion composition. The oil-in-water emulsion compositions comprises an oil phase comprising from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion composition of an oil-soluble moisturizing agent, dispersed in an aqueous phase. The oil-soluble moisturizer has a mean particle size ranging from about 0.05 to about 7 microns. The oil-in-water emulsion comprises from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion of a surfactant and from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion of particulates. The viscosity of the oil-in-water emulsion composition ranges from about 1 to about 500 centipoise.
