| abstract |
A facial skin cleansing and reconditioning composition. The composition generally includes a preselected corundum as a mildly skin abrasive powder which has been decontaminated by gamma ray sterilization rendering it microbally controlled. The abrasive particles are fused and of highly uniform size and shape, that shape being substantially free of ragged edges which could rip at the pores or tear the skin. The composition also includes an emollient, an emulsifier, a chelating agent, a preservative and a diluent. |
