Abstract:
The invention provides for cosmetic and personal care compositions comprising a synthetic magnesium aluminosilicate clay. The synthetic magnesium aluminosilicate clay is formed at ambient pressure by a series of reaction steps and a pH change from acidic pH to basic pH. The characteristics of the magnesium aluminosilicate clay, including platelet size, degree of stacking, and porosity can be tuned depending on the cosmetic or personal care product desired. In addition, these cosmetic and personal care compositions optionally include one or more of the following components: odor controlling agents, skin protectants, diluents, lipophilic skin health benefit agents, sunscreens, humectants, emollients, slip compounds, and moisturizers.
