DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a personal care composition for skin care. More particularly, the present invention relates to a talcum powder or body dust composition providing a combination of desirable properties like anti-bacterial, anti-fungal effects, enhanced cooling for a longer period, improved cooling intensity and sweat absorption.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Talcum powder is known for its property of absorbing moisture, reducing friction which helps in keeping skin dry and hence, less prone to occurrence of rashes during summers. The popularity of perfumes, deodorants, mists, and colognes has made the use of talcum powder secondary. However, the importance of talcum powder cannot be ignored as it helps in absorbing moisture (sweat) and helps prevent skin rashes. Talcum powder has a natural cooling property which makes it the preferred choice for daily use to prevent any kind of irritation and infection on skin due to perspiration in summers.
In India the scorching heat in summers and tropical climate make people prone to skin infections, itching, rashes and heat-induced dermatitis commonly known as ‘prickly-heat’. Talcum powder is one of the common and affordable option for people to use for sweat absorption protection against skin rashes or ‘prickly heat’. Prickly heat may be identified by the development of an intensely itchy rash on the skin that is composed of small vesicles and may also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial infection.
Talcum powder is a clay mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate (talc). Talc in powdered form, often combined with corn starch, is used as baby powder. The minerals in talcum powder have the capability to absorb the unnecessary moisture present on the skin and hence make it super smooth and frictionless. This in turn may help in reducing sweat production along with the reduced risk of fungal infections.
Talcum powder is a popular product among Indian customers who use it to reduce sweating and smells, giving their skin a more even tone. Various talcum powders with cooling effect are available commercially. However, the available talcum powder provides cooling sensation only for a short period of time more specifically during application only.
Hence, there remains a need to develop improved talcum powder composition with enhanced cooling intensity, enhanced cooling sensation and fragrance for a longer period, effective in treating the symptoms of prickly heat, having antibacterial, antifungal property, and is soothing to skin.
