The present invention refers to a cosmetic composition which, in particular, enables the perfume component resist wash off by water and sweat and to remain fixed on the skin for a long time watertightly. The cosmetic composition comprises fragrance and a fragrance-fixing complex consisting of 0.01-10% by weight of a hydrophobic, alcohol-soluble, carboxylated acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer and 0.01-10% by weight of a hydrolyzed jojoba ester. Further the complex is able to significantly reduce the total amount of fragrances while giving the same scent feeling to the consumer.

Cosmetic composition with watertight fragrance

The present invention provides a colouring pre-mix for use in colouring of a cosmetic composition and a coloured cosmetic composition including the same, wherein the colouring pre-mix includes 45-80 wt-% benzyl benzoate; 20-49 wt-% dipropylene glycol; 0.00001-5 wt-% colouring plant extracts; and optionally 0.00001-5 wt-% colorants; with the provision that the content of benzyl benzoate exceeds the content of dipropylene glycol, wherein all data given in wt-% refer to the total weight of the colouring pre-mix.

Colouring pre-mix for use in colouring of a cosmetic composition

The invention relates to a novel cosmetic product with special flexibility and stretching characteristics, so-called 'stretch-mascara'. The mascara has an oil phase and an aqueous phase, said oil phase containing 2 to 10 wt. % of an unbranched polyethylene wax with a molecular weight of 400 to 1500 Dalton, in relation to the weight of the oil phase, and at least one other wax or oil or mixture thereof. The aqueous phase contains 0.5 to 5% of a film former PVP/PVP-VA, polyquaternium-46 and mixtures thereof. The product also contains 0.5 to 20 wt. % of an external film former phase with a water-soluble film former selected from the group PEG/PPG-25/25 dimethicone/carylates/t-butyl acrylates copolymer, polyurethane-1 and mixtures thereof.

Stretch-mascara

A new personal care product in the form of a free-standing stick comprises an inner core with cosmetic ingredients and an solid outer shell adhering to the inner core, in which the outer shell is wax-free and contains at least solid proteins, liquid polyols or solutions of polyols, solid polyols, emollients and additional cosmetic auxiliary materials and active ingredients.
