Abstract:
Compositions including polycarbodiimide and derivatives thereof together with latex polymers and derivatives thereof to enhance the quality of the keratinous substrates. The present invention relates to a cosmetic treatment and process for treating keratinous materials, in particular for hair-care and hair-styling. A method of styling or shaping hair is also disclosed. Compositions are provided for nail treatment and processes including polycarbodiimide and latex actives for application in a nail treatment that is a single step or at least two sequential steps, the compositions and processes providing one or more of improved adhesion, water resistance, and shine through crosslinking between the actives, thereby imparting long wear, good shine, nail protection, and easy removal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to nail treatment system comprising at least one basecoat, at least one second coat, and optionally at least one topcoat, wherein the basecoat comprises water and at least one non-UV curable adhesive latex compound, and the second coat comprises at least one photocrosslinkable urethane (meth)acrylate and at least one (meth)acrylate monomer.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a cosmetic composition includes (a) at least one compound selected from a sugar silicone surfactant, a gelling agent, a polyamine and a hyperbranched polyol; and (b) at least one polar modified polymer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are cosmetic compositions comprising at least one latex-film former chosen from at least one acrylate copolymer and derivatives thereof, and at least one coalescent and/or plasticizer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to eyelash coating compositions including water, at least one film-forming agent, at least 8% structuring agent, and at least one surfactant, which can be applied to eyelashes (natural or artificial), and which can be used to attach false (artificial) eyelashes to natural eyelashes, as well as to associated methods.
Abstract:
The invention relates to compositions for removing nail polish comprising at least at least about 10% by weight of at least one polyhydric alcohol compound, at least one low carbon alcohol, at least one high boiling point ester compound, at least one thickening agent, and at least one abrasive compound, as well as to methods of removing nail polish from nails using such compositions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to anhydrous nail compositions comprising interpolymer complexing compounds and a polar solvent. It further relates to methods of using such compositions.
Abstract:
A mascara composition includes at least about 7 percent by weight of a non-ionic water-soluble or water dispersible copolymer that includes a cyclic amide monomer, a cyclic amine monomer, and an acrylamide monomer. Methods of applying makeup to the eyelashes are also provided.
Abstract:
A nail compositions comprising at least one photo-curable polymer dispersed in water (latex), at least one polyurethane non-photo-curable polymer dispersed in water (latex), at least one photo-initiator, optionally at least one plasticizer, optionally a colorant, and water are provided. Also provided are nail composition systems and kits comprising the nail compositions of the invention together with a base coat composition and/or a top coat composition.
