Patent ID: 8362089

Claim:
Method of preparing a cosmetic composition comprising: adding 0.5 to 5.5 weight % of at least one starch chosen from a cross-linked product of a hydroxyalkyl modified starch with a carbon number of 2 to 5, a cross-linked product of a hydroxyalkyl modified starch with a carbon number of 2 to 5 and an acyl modified starch with a carbon number of 2 to 18, and a cross-linked product of an acyl modified starch with a carbon number of 2 to 18, to an aqueous composition, based on total weight of the aqueous composition, adding a water-soluble polymer material to the aqueous composition such that the weight ratio of the at least one starch to the water-soluble polymer in the aqueous composition is from 0.5:1 to 30:1, and mixing the aqueous composition with a cosmetic composition to form a cosmetic.
