Abstract: A method of forming a dry composition that includes a blend of a powder phase including at least two absorbents selected from the group of mica, silica, synthetic fluorphlogopite, starch (e.g. polysaccharides), talc, kaolin, and zeolite, and at least one emollient with a solvent phase. The blended powder and solvent phases are formed into the dry composition. A porous mold may be used to shape the dry composition into a three dimensional shape such as block, tablet, or stick. The dry composition may be a solid form cosmetic such as a dry shampoo, blush, foundation, eye shadow, highlighter, brow product, and the like.

Abstract: A method of providing a treatment for cleaning and removing oils from hair includes providing a cosmetic that includes a blend of a powder phase including at least two absorbents selected from the group of mica, silica, starch, talc, kaolin and zeolite, and at least one emollient with a solvent phase.
