An object of the present invention is to provide a microspherical particle having an excellent massage effect. Another object of the present invention is to provide a microspherical particle that provides an excellent massage effect and cleaning effect when formulated in a cleaning composition and the like. A microspherical particle is formed of powdered cellulose so that the microspherical particle has an average particle diameter of 50 to 2,000 μm, a sphericity of 0.7 to 1.0, and a dry hardness of 1 to 5,000. A soft type thereof has a dry hardness of 1 to less than 210, and a hard type thereof has a dry hardness of 210 to 5,000. Such microspherical particle is formulated to make a massage composition or a cleaning composition. |
