Abstract

The invention involves a cosmetic preparation containing kaolin which may be employed as a mask, lotion, gel or cream with a non-sticky, non-plasticized consistency and with a content of white kaolin with a high proportion of kaolinite and spherical inorganic particles of a particle size of less than 5 .mu.m, with a proportion of spherical particles in the kaolin mixture of 0.5 to 10% by weight as well as a cosmetic skin care composition, in which the proportion of the kaolin/spherical particle mixture falls within the range of over 2 to 65% by weight of the composition as a whole. The viscosity of the composition with the proportion of kaolin/spherical particles is around 2000 to over 15,000 cps higher than a similar composition with kaolin only and without spherical particles, with the difference in viscosity increasing with the proportion of kaolin/spherical particles. The new, pleasantly soft preparation with an inhibitive effect with regard to inflammation permits high kaolin contents to be used to especially good effect in masks and gels.
