Disclosed a method of preparing composite particles comprising a non-porous spherical particulate inorganic material deposited on a plate-like inorganic material, where refractive index of said particulate inorganic material is greater than that of said plate-like inorganic particulate material, wherein, said spherical material occupies 20 to 80% of total surface area of said plate-like material and wherein the amount of said spherical material accounts for 2 to 20 wt % of said composite particles, further wherein said plate-like inorganic material is mica and said non-porous spherical particulate inorganic material is silicone dioxide, said method comprising the steps of: (iv) silanization of said plate-like inorganic material to get a silanized material having functional groups “A”; (v) silanization of said non-porous spherical particulate inorganic material to get a silanized material having functional groups “B”, where A≠B; and where said “A” and said “B” are capable of reacting with each other such that by way of their reaction, said non-porous spherical particulate inorganic material deposits on said plate-like inorganic material; and, (vi) reacting said silanized material having functional groups “A” with said silanized material having functional groups “B”.

Provided is a dietary supplement and method of use that promote skin hydration and thus improve its appearance. The supplement includes a form of hyaluronic acid and at least one ceramide—the hyaluronic acid promoting water retention in the deep layers of the epidermis and the ceramide promoting the surface retention of moisture.

The present invention relates to a lemon juice-containing composition and its use for cleaning skin and/or hands. The composition comprises 5-30% by weight lemon juice or a lemon juice concentrate, 0.5-10% by weight phenoxyethanol, 2-60% by weight anionic surfactant and ad 100% by weight water. The composition is particularly suitable for the effective but at the same time skin-friendly removal of contaminants containing chlorophyll and/or other plant dyes, of plant juices/extracts and/or other plant parts, such as flower pollen and/or plant dusts, and/or of phytopathogens, fertilizer residues, herbicides, bactericides, fungicides, virucides and germination inhibitors.
