Abstract:
Compositions including polycarbodiimide together with latex compounds 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 nail polishes and other treatments, where, according to the process, the polycarbodiimide and latex actives may be applied in a nail treatment that is a single step or at least two sequential steps. The ratio of the latex compound to the polycarbodiimide compound is in the range from about 50:50 to about 95:5, and the composition comprises 10 to 100% of a combined amount of the polycarbodiimide compound and the latex compound, by weight, of the entire composition. It is in particular a nail treatment composition and process for 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:
A mascara composition including at least one olefin/acrylate grafted polymer and at least one acrylates copolymer. The ratio of the weight amount of the olefin/acrylate grafted polymer to the weight amount of the acrylates copolymer in the mascara composition is preferably from about 0.85 to about 4.5.
Abstract:
Disclosed are cosmetic compositions comprising latex film formers chosen from at least one random styrene acrylate copolymer or derivatives thereof, and at least one acrylate copolymer or derivatives thereof, in combination with at least one coalescent and/or plasticizer. Also disclosed are cosmetic compositions comprising at least one latex film forming blend comprising (1) at least one random styrene acrylate copolymer and at least one acrylate copolymer or derivative thereof, or (2) at least two random styrene acrylate copolymers. Polyurethane latex dispersions may be incorporated into the compositions. Optionally, the cosmetic compositions may additionally comprise at least one coalescent and/or plasticizer in combination with the at least one latex film forming blend.
