The present invention relates to a gelled cosmetic emulsion comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a gelling system which contains at least one non-siloxane based polyamide in a sufficient amount to gel the emulsion. The polyamide can have an tertiary amide, ester, acid, or amine terminal end group. The emulsion is stabilized with an alkylene oxide containing emulsion stabilizer. The polyamide resin is stabilized with a resin stabilizer containing an atom with a certain electronegativity. The emulsions of the present invention are substantially transparent and when colorants are added the color is especially bright and clear. The emulsions are used in lipstick and mascara products as well as other gel and stick products.

Stable cosmetic emulsion with polyamide gelling agent

Compositions, in one embodiment a transfer resistant cosmetic composition, which may also be pliable and comfortable to wear upon application to a substrate. The compositions comprise, more particularly, at least one structuring polymer and at least one silicone resin. The invention, in one embodiment, relates to cosmetic, dermatological, and pharmaceutical products containing this composition.

Cosmetic compositions containing at least one hetero polymer and at least one film-forming silicone resin and methods of using

Compositions comprising at least one polymethylsilsesquioxane film former and at least one film former different from said at least one polymethylsilsesquioxane film former, wherein said at least one polymethylsilsesquioxane film former is present in an amount effective to provide at least one property chosen from long wear and transfer resistance.

Cosmetic compositions comprising at least one polymethylsilsesquioxane film former

The present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for topical application to the keratinous surface which comprises a alignment agent for promoting the orderly arrangement of a feature enhancing component for enhancing the lengthening of the eyelashes and/or the covering of wrinkles on the skin surface. The feature enhancing component can be a fibrous component and can include a variety of types of fibers including wicking fibers, evaporating fibers, or a combination of both. The feature enhancing component can also be inert fillers such as platelet materials.

Alignment of enhancers in cosmetic compositions

The subject-matter of the present invention is a transfer-free composition comprising (a) at least one of a di-block, tri-block, multi-block and/or radial block copolymer and optionally (b) a film former or a mixture of film formers. The composition may comprise any one of a di-block, tri-block, multi-block or radial block copolymer or any mixture or blend of co-polymers. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention result in a film with very good retention, good transfer resistant properties, and which does not migrate over time. The compositions have cosmetic properties which are improved in relation to those of the &ldquo;transfer free&rdquo; products of the prior art.

Cosmetic compositions containing di-block, tri-block, multi-block and radial block copolymers

The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions for topical application to the skin. The compositions comprise an organopolysiloxane elastomer dispersed in a hydrocarbon vehicle. The present invention also includes a cosmetic composition comprising a silicone gel combined with a compatible cosmetically acceptable carrier where the silicone gel comprises the elastomer dispersed in the vehicle. The compositions of the invention are transfer resistant and produce a unique soft and powdery sensation on the skin due to the combination of the elastomer with the hydrocarbon vehicle.

Velvety hydrocarbon based cosmetic compositions

A composition containing at least one organic phospholipid capable of forming bilayers in aqueous solution;at least one amphoteric surfactant; and at least one nonionic surfactant present in an amount by weight equal to or greater than the amount of the phospholipid. The invention also relates to a delivery system for water-insoluble ingredients containing the above components, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, and an aqueous phase, wherein the organic phospholipid, amphoteric surfactant, and nonionic surfactant are present in a combined amount sufficient to allow the water-insoluble ingredient to be incorporated into the system. A method of treating keratinous susbstances is also disclosed.

Aqueous carrier systems for water-insoluble materials

The present invention relates to a pigment composition comprising a pigment treated with a water-dispersible polyester or polyesteramide polymer in the absence of added water. The invention also relates to a method grinding a mixture containing of a pigment with a water-dispersible polyester or polyesteramide in the absence of added water. Such pigment compositions are particularly useful as the colorant in cosmetic compositions.
