The production of a cosmetic cake (8) is described, consisting of a base supporting and anchoring layer (6) and an overlapping cosmetic product layer (4), wherein said base layer (6) is formed using a dried and solidified aqueous mixture of only natural non-synthetic ingredients.

There is described the manufacturing of a support (6) for cosmetic products, which consists of a dry and solidified set of a mixture consisting of non-synthetic ingredients of natural origin only. The support can be manufactured so as to form a base for supporting and anchoring a cosmetic product inside a container (9) or a biodegradable container in the shape of a rigid and self-supporting cosmetic wafer for anhydrous or gel cosmetic products.

A porous dissolvable solid can include an isethionate surfactant; an non-sulfate anionic surfactant; and an amphoteric surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant, or a combination thereof.

A method for producing a coating on skin, the method comprising: A) a step of electrostatically spraying a composition X comprising the following component (a) and the following component (b) directly on the skin to thereby form a coating on a skin surface: (a) one or more volatile substances selected from the group consisting of water, an alcohol, and a ketone, and (b) a polymer having a coating forming ability; and B) a step of applying a composition Y, other than the composition X, containing the following component (c) and the following component (d) to the skin: (c) 5% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less of an adhesive polymer, and (d) 1% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of a polyol, in this order or in reverse order.
