Textile cosmetic pads based on psyllium and protein colloid in combination with the horsetail extract

The basic purpose of this research work was to develop a care/healing cosmetic pads where a horsetail water extract was selected as a healing/care compound. Together with this, psyllium and keratin (protein colloid) were used as natural compounds capable to form a gel-like structure in aqueous media...

Summary:The basic purpose of this research work was to develop a care/healing cosmetic pads where a horsetail water extract was selected as a healing/care compound. Together with this, psyllium and keratin (protein colloid) were used as natural compounds capable to form a gel-like structure in aqueous media, so they were explored as i) carriers of a care/healing compound (horsetail extract), and as ii) “binding element” (due to relatively high viscosity) in-between the healing compound and the textile substrate (i.e. non-woven viscose) itself. Such functionalization system was relatively easily applied onto the non-woven viscose substrate. In this way the final product i.e. the cosmetic pad was created showing good ant oxidative activity, storage stability and biodegradability. The latest is extremely important for environmentally friendly products.
