摘要:
The present invention provides compositions containing a mixture of cholesterol sulfate and an exfoliant. The exfoliant can be N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, or a combination thereof. The combination of the cholesterol sulfate with the exfoliant surprisingly enhances the skin barrier even though the activity of each of the components is opposite the other. In addition, because of the ability to enhance or repair the skin barrier function, methods of improving or maintaining a healthy skin barrier are included in the present invention by applying to the skin an effective amount of the mixture of cholesterol sulfate with the exfoliant. The mixture can also be useful in treating or preventing damage to the skin, where the damage is caused by a compromised skin barrier function. As a result of improving the skin barrier function with the combination of cholesterol sulfate and the exfoliant, the appearance of lines and wrinkles is generally reduced; rough and dry skin conditions are also improved.

The present invention relates to a gelled cosmetic emulsion comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a gelling system which contains at least one non-siloxane based polyamide in a sufficient amount to gel the emulsion. The polyamide can have an ester, acid, tertiary amide, or amine terminal end group. The emulsion is stabilized with a sugar-based emulsion stabilizer. The emulsions of the present invention are substantially transparent and when colorants are added the color is especially bright and clear. The emulsions are used in lipstick and mascara products as well as other gel and stick products.

A product package includes a disposable applicator pad assembly. The applicator pad assembly has a porous foam pad with an elastomer strip bonded to the perimeter of the pad. The elastomer strip is compressed between a retaining ring and the package to impermeably secure the pad assembly to the package. A cap is provided to cover the applicator pad. A sealing skirt depending from the cap is dimensioned to contact an inner annular portion of the strip in sealing engagement to prevent evaporation and to protect the applicator pad and package contents from contamination.

A cosmetic sampler comprising a body (1) and at least one applicator tip (3) attached to the body (1), the applicator tip (3) comprising and applicator surface (4) and flocking (5). The flocking (5) provides a surface that can receive a cosmetic product in an amount sufficient for one or two applications. Preferably, the individual bodies are stackable, the individual applicator tips are stackable and/or the assembled samplers are stackable. Optionally, a closure (6) that covers the applicator tip (3) and attaches to the body (1) is included. The closure (6) may provide either an ordinary or an airtight seal. Also, a method of making the cosmetic sampler comprising the steps of fabricating a hollow body, flocking a thermoformable substrate, thermoforming the flocked substrate into an applicator tip and attaching the apllicator tip to the body. Alternatively, the applicator tip may be molded and then flocked and then attached to the body. Optionally, the method includes a step of injection molding a cap that is suitable to be fitted onto the body in either and ordinary or airtight seal.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for topical application to the keratinous surface which comprises a alignment agent for promoting the orderly arrangement of a feature enhancing component for enhancing the lengthening of the eyelashes and/or the covering of wrinkles on the skin surface. The feature enhancing component can be a fibrous component and can include a variety of types of fibers including wicking fibers, evaporating fibers, or a combination of both. The feature enhancing component can also be inert fillers such as platelet materials.

The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising (a)a transparent component; and (b) a non-interference platelet component having an average particle size of 25 m or less, the platelet exhibiting a light transmission value of about 20% to about 70%, and a light reflectance value of about 10% to about 20%. The compositions are useful in providing effective but sheer concealment to skin flaws, without the necessity of using large amounts of metal oxide pigments.

The present invention provides a container (1) for a pasty cosmetic product which permits access by the consumer to a larger percentage of the contained product than has typically been possible in the traditional container. The present invention comprises a hollow container having a wall, wherein the wall defines an internal chamber and at least a portion of the wall is flexible. The container has a neck (5) which provides access to the internal chamber. An applicator (3) projects into the container and is attached to a cap (2) which closes the container about the neck (5). Squeezing the flexible portions of the container (1) permits the user to deposit otherwise inaccessible product onto the applicator (3), thereby avoiding waste of product adhered to the inner wall of the container (1).
