Novel skin care compositions

Abstract

Skin care compositions are provided comprising a highly hydrophobic substance, an alkaryl polyfluorocarbon, particularly a substituted phenyl-polyfluoroacylamino propanamide, an alkanol and refined oils and the oil triglyceride fractions in sufficient amount to provide substantial homogeneity. When employed for hirsutism, optionally antioxidants and moisturizer are added. For use against wrinkles, additionally vitamins, antioxidants and a mixture of extracts of naturally occurring substances are present.
