A non-pressed cosmetic powder containing hydrophobic inorganic pigments.

Cosmetic powder product

A solid hydrated stick for topical application containing emulsified water soluble ingredients and volatile emollients. The stick is a solid emulsion comprising by weight from 15% to 40% of a cyclic silicone, 2% to 15% of an oil, 2% to 20% of a wax, 2% to 7% of polyethylene glycol sorbitan beeswax, 10% to 40% water, and 0.1% to 40% of a cosmetically acceptable functional ingredient. The polyethylene glycol sorbitan beeswax acts as an emulsifier and contributes to the rigidity of the stick, while the silicone serves as an emollient to impart a smooth, buttery feel when the composition is applied to the skin.

Emulsified hydrated stick product

A powder stick composition for topical application, and particularly a powder stick containing an anti-perspirant as an active ingredient. The stick is produced by incorporating an active ingredient, a finely divided inert filler, and a fatty alcohol with a siloxane at an elevated temperature to form a slurry. The slurry is then molded into stick form at atmospheric pressure, and the molded stick is dried to evaporate a major portion of the siloxane. The resulting stick is firm, has a uniform distribution of the active ingredient throughout the cross section and has excellent pay-off characteristics.

Powder stick composition for topical application

A method of producing a cosmetic product containing an integrally molded powder cake. The product includes a casing having an open top enclosed by a cover, and the casing defines a cavity to contain the powder cake. In fabricating the product, the cover is closed and the casing is inverted and a slurry composed of an inert powdered material, a fatty alcohol and a vaporizable siloxane is introduced into the cavity through an opening in the bottom of the casing. On cooling, the slurry is solidified to form a cake, and subsequently the cake is dried to evaporate the siloxane carrier. The opening in the bottom of the casing can be enclosed by a backing member.

Method of producing a cosmetic product containing a powder cake

A cosmetic pencil for use in the topical application of eye shadow, eye liner, lipstick, or the like. The pencil comprises an outer sheath or barrel and an inner core of a cosmetic composition. The barrel is composed of polyethylene and contains from 5% to 20% by weight of hydrogenated castor oil. The cosmetic pencil can be readily sharpened through use of a conventional pencil sharpened, and the addition of the hydrogenated castor oil provides the barrel with increased toughness, easier sharpening characteristics, as well as substantially reducing stress cracking of the barrel at elevated temperatures.
