The invention relates to a mascara containing fibre components and a method for producing the same. Said mascara contains (in % by weight) 0.1-10 of at least one oil-soluble or oil-dispersible polymer or copolymer, 0.3-10 of a natural or synthetic fibre with an average length of between 3 and 6 mm, 10-30 of a natural or synthetic wax which hardens at 25&#xb0; C., 1-10 of a synthetic wax which is liquid at 18&#xb0; C. and above, 0.5-10 of inorganic pigments, organic colourants and mixtures thereof, 40-80 water and cosmetic auxiliaries, active agents and mixtures thereof making up the remainder up to 100% by weight, wherein said mascara does not contain any water-soluble or water-dispersible hydrophilic polymers, film-forming agents, thickeners or clays. The fibres are separated very well and the mascara shows a very good balance between its adhesive properties and the brittleness of the mascara film.

Mascara containing fiber components

The invention relates to a moisture-resistant mascara composition with increased moisture and wear resistance. The mascara composition contains a complex, comprising 0.1 to 10 wt. % of a water-soluble polymer, selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone, vinyl acetate/vinyl pyrrolidone copolymers and mixtures thereof, 0.5 to 10 wt. % stearic acid and 1 to 40 wt. % of a wax or a wax mixture, whereby the complex exists as an oil phase emulsified in an aqueous phase and is produced by addition of the water-soluble polymer or copolymer to the oil phase, consisting of the molten wax or wax mixture and stearic acid, to form a stable colloidal complex and said complex is emulsified to give a homogeneous form with an aqueous phase. The complex, in which the water-soluble polymer is contained in the oil phase leads to mascaras with an exceptional plasticity and moisture resistance.

Moisture-proof mascara composition

There is provided a cosmetic composition, preferably in the form of a nail polish, comprising a primary film former, one or more high-molecular weight polyurethanes, and, optionally, one or more arylsulfonamide epoxy resins.

Cosmetic compositions containing polyurethane

A nail enamel composition which contains, in a cosmetically acceptable solvent system containing diacetone alcohol and at least one additional solvent chosen from C -C alkyl acetates and C -C alkyl alcohols, at least one film-forming substance and at least one urea-modified thixotropic agent. The use of this thixotropic agent in the specific solvent system gives nail enamel compositions with higher gloss, high clarity, improved aesthetics in the bottle, excellent thixotropic properties, and improved application properties.

Nail enamel composition containing a urea-modified thixotropic agent in a solvent system

A cosmetic composition for nail enamel having particulates, such as pigments and/or fillers, coated with fluorosilane is provided. The present invention also provides methods of (a) reducing settling, migration and floatation of colorants in a nail enamel, (b) reducing nail staining in a nail, (c) improving gloss of a nail enamel, and (d) increasing stability and improving rheology of a nail enamel.

Nail enamel composition having fluorosilane coated particulars

A cosmetic composition having particulates coated with fluorosilane, such as a pigment and/or filler coated with fluorosilane is provided. The cosmetic composition can be a blush, a concealer, an eye shadow, a lipstick, a liquid make-up, a mascara, a moisturizer, or a powder. The present invention also provides methods of (a) reducing staining potential of a lipstick on a person, (b) improving water and/or oil resistance in cosmetic compositions, especially in a mascara, (c) reducing oil breakthrough in a facial product, and (d) reducing color drift in a powder cosmetic during wear.

Colorless or colored nail polish containing aramide fibers

A coated particle useful in cosmetic compositions including a base particle, a coupling agent and an outer coating, and a method of making same. A preferred embodiment comprises hollow spherical polyvinylidene copolymer base particles, isopropyl tri-isostearyl titanate as the coupling agent and boron nitrate powder as the outer coating.

Coated particle for use in cosmetic preparations and method

A cosmetic ingredient homogenization agent, for use in assisting and improving the homogenization of the cosmetic ingredients of a compacted powder, is a combination of the following three components: x weight percent of hollow microspheres of a thermoplastic synthetic material having a specific mass lower than 0.1 g/cm.sup.3 and having a size lower than 30 .mu.m; y weight percent of particles of hexagonal boron nitride; and z weight percent of particles of N-acyl lysine. x, y and z are numbers which vary, respectively, as follows: x: 0.2-30; y: 02.-90; and z: 8-99.78. The sum x+y+z=100. This homogenization agent can be incorporated into a cosmetic composition in the form of a compacted powder in an amount ranging from 1-55, preferably 10-35, percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
