An anhydrous topical composition provides a water repellent surface. The anhydrous topical composition has at least one film former with surface tension lower than 35 dynes/cm, at least one particle having a hydrophobic surface or a hydrophobic surface treatment, and a volatile topical carrier.

Hydrophobic topical compositions and methods for producing same

Sunscreen compositions, products and methods that include at least one UVA sunscreen active agent, at least one UVB sunscreen active agent, and one or more water insoluble film forming polymers. The compositions, products and methods may further include one or more active or inactive cosmetic ingredients. The water insoluble film forming polymers synergistically affect the UVA and UVB sunscreen active agents, in particularly the UVA sunscreen active agents by significantly enhancing the water resistance of the UVA sunscreen active agents after water exposure as determined by the SPF and UVAPF values measured before and after water exposure.

Sunscreen compositions with improved water resistance of UVA sunscreen active agents

There is provided a dissolvable film polymer matrix that includes a plurality of magnetically responsive kertin-like fibers for application to an individual's face or head. The dissolvable film polymer matrix product includes hairs that are magnetically oriented in a non-random plain to be applied on an individuals face or head to simulate the appearance of the individual's natural hair. Methods of manufacturing and applying the dissolvable polymer matrix product are also disclosed.

Magnetically-oriented cosmetic fibers

There is a method for lengthening keratin fibers. The method has the steps of a) applying to the keratin fibers a composition having a solvent and one or more polymers soluble or solubilizable in the solvent b) allowing the solvent to evaporate. The composition is applied in an amount sufficient to lengthen the keratin fibers. There are also other methods for lengthening keratin fibers. There is also a mascara composition.

Method for lengthening keratin fibers

Topical compositions comprising at least one matte-finished interference pigment combined with one or more microsphere(s) and elastomer(s) are provided, as well as methods for using such compositions in cosmetics and dermatological products that afford high coverage of flaws or imperfections, while maintaining a natural-looking appearance. These cosmetics and dermatological products can improve the aesthetic appearance of skin, hair, or nails when topically applied thereto.

High-coverage and natural-looking cosmetic compositions and uses thereof

A cosmetic composition for caring for and/or making up the skin, lips and/or body in the form of a film, which is non-transferable, long-lasting with a comfortable feeling of use to consumers over long periods of wear time. The composition contains graftable POSS which forms a film when it cures in situ. The invention also relates to using such film for preparing a cosmetic composition and a makeup process and makeup kit comprising the product.

Cosmetic nanocomposites based on in-situ crosslinked POSS materials

Cosmetic compositions and methods with improved transfer resistance and long wear properties are disclosed. The cosmetic compositions contain a synergistic combination of at least one silicone polyurethane polymer and at least one elastomer.

Cosmetic compositions having improved transfer resistance

Cosmetic compositions containing an eyelash curling or branching agent, or a skin-lifting mask or lotion. The mascara composition comprises a SMP, at least one film-forming polymer and at least one wax and leads to a make-up product with good staying power, as well as good coating and curling. The skin-lifting mask or lotion comprises a SMP, a water phase and an oil phase and leads to a make-up product with a skin-lifting effect. The invention also pertains to a process for coating eyelashes which consists of applying the composition to the eyelashes with heat.

Mascara composition containing shape-memory polymers, gels, and fibers

Cosmetic nanocomposites based on in-situ cross-linked POSS materials

Compositions and methods for the in situ formation of cross-linked organosiloxane films are disclosed. The disclosed films are long-lasting, flexible, transfer-resistant, water-resistant and oil-resistant. The film-forming compositions generally comprise alkoxy-terminated organosiloxane polymers and a catalyst and are useful for formulating cosmetics and personal care products.

Cosmetic compositions having in-situ silicone condensation cross-linking

Compositions and methods for the in situ formation of hydrosilylation (addition) cross-linked organosiloxane films are disclosed. The disclosed films are long-lasting, flexible, transfer-resistant, and water-proof. The film-forming compositions generally comprise alkoxy-terminated organosiloxane polymers and a catalyst and are useful for formulating cosmetics and personal care products.

Cosmetic compositions having in-situ hydrosilylation cross-linking

Compositions and methods for the formation of physically cross-linked thermoplastic elastomeric films are disclosed. The disclosed films are long-lasting, flexible, transfer resistant, and water-proof. The film-forming compositions comprise a thermoplastic elastomer, a tackifier resin, and a volatile solvent useful for formulating cosmetics, personal care products, and pharmaceutical compositions.
