Abstract
This invention relates to a cosmetic film forming composition which is freeze-thaw stable and is especially useful as a nail coating composition which upon drying forms a film which will adhere to keratin of a nail. More particularly, the present invention relates to cosmetic film forming compositions which consist of aqueous emulsion (A) which comprises a sulfopolyester and a copolymer of vinyl acetate and dialkyl maleate or fumarate; aqueous emulsion (B) which comprises an aqueous emulsion polymer of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate or the polymerization reaction product of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate with a vinylfunctional monomer; and (C) a freeze-thaw agent. The freeze-thaw agent imparts improved freeze-thaw properties to the composition without being detrimental to desirable properties such as fast drying time and good adhesive properties.
