The present invention provides a solid personal care product comprising: a core layer containing a cleansing or conditioning component; and a skin layer containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer. A solid personal care product produced according to the present invention solves the disadvantage that existing conventional solid cleansing agents or conditioning agents in powder, soap, or other flake form have of the powder scattering, as well as the problem of the cleansing power, conditioning efficacy, and fragrance-preserving property of such agents degrading. Moreover, the contents of the cleansing or conditioning component does not rub off onto the hands of a user even when the user holds the contents in the user's hands, and the shape of the product according to the present invention does not change even in places of high humidity. In addition, this solid personal care product is easy to use, store, and package, while retaining the same functions as those of conventional liquid cleansing and conditioning personal care products.

A method for processing a high pigment loaded cosmetic composition may provide a pre-dispersion phase, a grind phase, and a full extender phase. The method of processing the cosmetic composition may fully saturate and disperse solid particulates of at least 35% by weight of the cosmetic composition. The method for processing the cosmetic composition may provide a high color payoff in a single swipe or application. Further, the method for processing the cosmetic composition may reduce feathering and bleeding even with a high pigment load.
