CHLORINE-MODERATING LIQUID COMPOSITIONS FOR USE ON THE HUMAN BODY AND HAIR

摘要

A method of dechlorinating skin, especially dechlorinating skin, hair and/or nails of humans including contacting said skin, hair and/or nails with an aqueous composition for sufficient time to reduce halogen effects on the skin, hair and/or nails. The aqueous composition includes at least water and an oil-soluble bis-ascorbate in a weight ratio of about 0.1 to 25% by weight of the total aqueous composition and ).05% to 30% by weight of suspended carbon particles. The composition may be free of ascorbic acid, and the oil-soluble ascorbate is a bis or tri- or tetraalkanol ascorbate such as bisglyceryl ascorbate.
