A method for delivering active ingredients to a wet substrate from a flexible, three-dimensional, water-absorbent substrate material comprised of a web of substantially water-insoluble fibers into which is infused a solid anhydrous composition having a melting point of from about 45&#xb0; C. to about 55&#xb0; C. said anhydrous composition comprising (i) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of cationic quaternary surfactants, anionic surfactants or nonionic surfactants or one multi-lamellar liquid crystal emulsifier system, (ii) at least one fatty alcohol, (iii) at least one emollient selected from the group consisting of cosmetically-acceptable oils, esters and liquid triglycerides, (iv) at least one active ingredient and (v) optionally, a solid cleansing agent having a melting point from about 50&#xb0; C. to about 70&#xb0; C. Preferred active ingredients are skincare and haircare actives, including emollients, humectants, conditioning agents, sunscreens and sunblocks, and artificial tanning agents.

Infused sponge delivery system

Topical cosmetic and pharmaceutical oil-in-water emulsions wherein an emulsifier blend, comprising a mixture of at least two sucrose esters in combination with at least one solid fatty alcohol, forms a multi-lamellar liquid crystalline network that effectively moisturizes and protects the skin, and provides a useful vehicle for delivery of active ingredients. Sucrose esters are used in emulsions of the present invention at very low concentrations (from about 0.2 % to about 1.2 % by combined weight of sucrose esters relative to the total weight of the emulsion).

Multi-lamellar liquid crystal emulsion system

The present invention relates to transparent or clear emulsions for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use that are suitable for application to the human lips and to the facial area around the lips. The transparent emulsions of the present invention comprise an oil phase, containing at least one lipophilic solvent; an aqueous phase; and an emulsifying system containing at least one non-ethoxylated fatty acid ester emulsifier having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ('HLB') from about 11 to about 16. Preferred non-ethoxylated fatty acid ester emulsifiers are sucrose esters, in particular sucrose palmitate and sucrose laurate.

Transparent lip treatment gel

Cosmetic compositions comprising at least one structuring polymer chosen from polymers of following formula (I): in which n denotes a number of amide units, such that the number of ester groups represents from 10% to 50% of the total number of ester and amide groups; Ris, in each case, independently an alkyl or alkenyl group having at least 4 carbon atoms; Rindependently represents, in each case, a Cto Chydrocarbonaceous group, provided that 50% of the Rgroups represent a Cto Chydrocarbonaceous group; Rindependently represents, in each case, an organic group provided with at least 2 carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms and optionally with one or more oxygen or nitrogen atoms; and Rindependently represents, in each case, a hydrogen atom, a Cto Calkyl group or a direct bond to Ror another R, so that the nitrogen atom to which both Rand Rare bonded forms part of a heterocyclic structure defined by R&#x2014;N&#x2014;R, with at least 50% of the Rgroups representing a hydrogen atom and at least one solid substance that has a melting point of 45&#xb0; C. or greater.

At least one polyamide polymer in a cosmetic composition comprising at least one solid substance having a melting point of 45 degrees C. or greater

The present invention relates to transparent or clear emulsions for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use. The transparent emulsions of the present invention comprise an oil phase, containing at least one lipophilic solvent; an aqueous phase; and an emulsifying system containing at least one non-ethoxylated fatty acid ester emulsifier having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ('HLB') from about 11 to about 16. Preferred non-ethoxylated fatty acid ester emulsifiers are sucrose esters, in particular sucrose palmitate and sucrose laurate.

Transparent oil-in-water emulsion

The invention relates to a physiologically acceptable composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, containing at least one liquid fatty phase comprising at least one structuring polymer comprising a polymer skeleton having hydrocarbon-based repeating units containing at least one hetero atom, and and at least one gelling agent for the said fatty phase, the liquid fatty phase, the structuring polymer and the gelling agent forming a physiologically acceptable medium. This composition may be in the form of a stick of lipstick which is stable, which does not exude and whose application produces a glossy deposit with good staying power over time.

Cosmetic compositions containing at least one heteropolymer and at least one gelling agent and methods of using the same

Compositions comprising at least one structuring polymer and at least one oil-soluble polymer chosen from alkyl celluloses and alkylated guar gums. The compositions may further comprise at least one fatty alcohol. This composition may be in the form of stable compositions such as, for example, make-up sticks, lipsticks and sunscreen sticks.

Compositions comprising heteropolymers and at least one oil-soluble polymers chosen from alkyl celluloses and alkylated guar gums

The present invention relates to cosmetic and pharmaceutical oil-in-water emulsions which have a mattifying effect when applied to the skin. The invention comprises a hydrophilic, non-organically modified magnesium aluminum silicate or a bentonite clay and a polyol in the water phase; and a volatile, skin-compatible, lipophilic solvent and a high melting point lipophilic plasticizer in the oil phase. A preferred surfactant system to stabilize the emulsion includes non-toxic metal alkyl sulfates and/or sucrose esters.

Mattifying oil-in-water emulsion

An anhydrous, water-resistant cosmetic composition comprising silicone-containing materials, fillers and pigments. This composition may be used as a make-up product or as a hair product.

Anhydrous and water-resistant cosmetic compositions

A method of making a physiologically acceptable mascara composition comprising at least one polymer, such as a structuring polymer, chosen from polymers of following formula (I):

Method of making a mascara composition comprising a polyamide polymer and at least one inert filler

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

A monohydric alcohol-free composition for topical use on human lips and skin. The composition includes a commercialy acceptable carrier and solubilized ethylcellulose. The ethylcellulose is substantially solubilized in at least one solvent which may be a natural oil, a triglyceride, a propylene glycol ester, a neopentyl glycol ester, a fatty alcohol or mixtures thereof.
