A composition for the cosmetic treatment of human skin, particularly facial skin, to remove retention products from the skin surface and sebaceous follicles, is disclosed. The composition comprises a high-silica zeolite, the principal adsorbent constituent, dispersed in an aqueous medium using colloidal hectorite-type clays, a water soluble alkyl polyol preferably having from 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, and most preferably a glycol such as propylene glycol, and an anti-microbial agent compatible with the high-silica zeolite. |
