Abstract

The invention provides materials and methods for making skin care compositions that contain dried or fresh fruit particles, and also can contain suspending agents, surfactants, emollients, emulsifiers, and/or cationic polymers. The basic fruit components typically are from the pulp and peel of the fruit, which can be specially processed to retain the colors, phytochemicals and nutritive ingredients. The compositions provided herein can contain particles made from whole fruits (minus seeds, leaves, and stems) that have been subjected to drying techniques (e.g., air-drum drying or freeze drying) and then processed into small particles.
