Abstract: Disclosed are hair care and hair cleansing compositions as well as skin care and skin cleansing compositions comprising a fibrous material of natural origin and obtained from plants. The fibrous material comprises micro-scaled and/or nano-scaled fibril agglomerates. Such compositions show pleasant skin feel and comfort during and after application, as well as fast drying and fast absorption into skin. The compositions obtained are also particularly well suited for the topical delivery of cosmetic and pharmaceutical active substances into skin. Additionally, a method to obtain said hair care or hair cleansing composition or said skin care or skin cleansing composition is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing microscale and/or nanoscale fiber material. The method has at least the step of dispersing (5) dried pre-comminuted pump in a liquid. The method additionally has a step of finely comminuting (6) the pulp dispersed in the liquid such that a fine comminution mixture is produced which contains the liquid and the fiber material with the microscale and/or nanoscale fibril agglomerates.
