Abstract
The present invention provides a cosmetic composition having a gloss of at least about 85 gloss units (gu), as well as sufficient shape retention properties for forming a stick-shaped cosmetic product. Specifically, the cosmetic composition contains: (a) a high viscosity oil component; (b) a medium viscosity oil component; (c) a low viscosity oil component; and (d) an oily gelling agent comprising an ester of glycerol or polyglycerin with an aliphatic or hydroxyl aliphatic acid and a dibasic acid. A stick-shaped cosmetic product formed by the cosmetic composition of the present invention exhibits a high-shine that is not available in conventional stick-shaped cosmetic products and yet retains the high make-up coverage typically provided by conventional stick-shaped cosmetic products.
