  • Personal care compositions that deposit shiny particles
    Patent number: 8790668
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a personal care composition that contains a rinse-off composition which deposits at least 0.5 ?g/cm2 of shiny particles on the skin. Preferably, the shiny particles are hydrophobically modified interference pigments. The inventors have found that hydrophobically modifying the particles significantly improves the deposition of the particles on skin from rinsable compositions.
