Abstract

A solid cosmetic product has (i) a water dispersible fat containing component including: (a) vegetable butter, vegetable oil or a mixture thereof, present in an amount of at least 35 wt. % based on the water dispersible fat containing component; and (b) an emulsifier. The solid cosmetic product also has (ii) a carbon dioxide effervescent component including: (a) a salt of carbonic acid; and (b) an acidifying agent. The water dispersible fat containing component and the carbon dioxide effervescent component are distinct from each other.

Claims (36)

1. A solid cosmetic product comprising;

(i) a water dispersible fat containing component comprising;

(a) vegetable butter, vegetable oil or a mixture thereof present in an amount of at least 35 wt. % based on the fat containing component; and

(b) an emulsifier;

(ii) a carbon dioxide effervescent component comprising:

(a) a salt of carbonic acid; and

(b) an acidifying agent;

wherein the water dispersible fat containing component and the carbon dioxide effervescent component are distinct from each other,

wherein the water dispersible fat containing component is in multiple distinct pieces disposed on the outside of the carbon dioxide effervescent component; and

wherein a density of the water dispersible fat containing component, in a solid form, is able to sink in a bathing water, before melting due to a temperature of the bathing water, and rising to the surface of the bathing water.

2. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 1 wherein the water dispersible fat containing component is 2 to 50 wt. % and the carbon dioxide effervescent component is 50 to 98 wt %, based on a combined weight of the water dispersible fat containing component and the carbon dioxide effervescent component.

3. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 1 wherein the water dispersible fat containing component is 5 to 25 wt. % and the carbon dioxide effervescent component is 75 to 95 wt %, based on a combined weight of the water dispersible fat containing component and the carbon dioxide effervescent component.

12. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 10 wherein the water dispersible fat containing component comprises an oil soluble colouring and a water soluble colouring.

13. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 10 wherein the water dispersible fat containing component comprises colouring in an amount of from 0.001 to 5 wt % based on the water dispersible fat containing component.

14. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 1 wherein the salt of carbonic acid and the acidifying agent are present in a weight ratio of from 90:10 to 50:50.

15. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 1 wherein the salt of carbonic acid and the acidifying agent are present in a weight ratio of from 90:10 to 70:30.

16. A solid cosmetic product according to claim 1 wherein the salt of carbonic acid is selected from alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal bicarbonates and mixtures thereof.
