Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to cleansing compositions. The cleansing compositions include: (a) one or more anionic surfactants; (b) one or more nonionic emulsifiers having a Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB) of about 6 or less; (c) one or more salts providing divalent cations having a charge density of about 40 to about 200 C/mm3 and a water solubility of at least 400 g/L; (d) one or more anionic polymers; (e) one or more water soluble solvents; and (f) water. The cleansing compositions have a unique lamellar liquid crystal structure and are useful in methods for cleansing the body, including the skin and hair.
Abstract:
The instant disclosure is skin perfecting and tightening composition that provide an instantaneous and dramatic improvement to the appearance of skin, e.g., by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, eye bags, pores, and skin imperfections such as scarring, dark spots (and uneven skin tone), dark circles, and roughness. The skin perfecting and tightening compositions comprise: (a) one or more polysaccharides with amine groups; (b) silica particles; (c) one or more acids, salts thereof, or a combination thereof; (d) optionally, one or more fatty compounds; (e) optionally, one or more water-soluble solvents; and water. The skin perfecting and tightening compositions exhibit excellent transparency, haze, and gloss characteristics appropriate for application to the skin, which are particularly long lasting.
Abstract:
Compositions including at least one acid-functional silicone elastomer and at least one block copolymer, as well as methods of making such compositions and methods of applying such compositions to keratinous material are provided.
Abstract:
A nail compositions comprising at least one photo-curable polymer dispersed in water (latex), at least one 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.
Abstract:
The invention relates to lipstick compositions including at least one natural oil, at least one fatty alcohol wax and particles of at least one filler, in which the lipstick compositions contain minimal amount of animal-derived ingredients and/or beeswax, or are free of such ingredients, as well as to methods and kits including such corn positions.
Abstract:
Lip compositions including at least one semi-crystalline acrylate copolymer, wherein the compositions include at least two components prior to mixing and application to lips and are capable of forming a multilayer structure after application to lips, are provided.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to compositions and methods for providing UV protection to the skin which are capable of also improving the appearance of the skin. Compositions comprise at least one thermoplastic elastomer, at least one adhesive polymer, at least one filler, and at least one UV protection agent. Methods comprise applying the compositions to the skin to tighten the skin or hide skin imperfections, while providing UV protection, by forming a film on the skin.
Abstract:
A mascara composition includes a film-forming polymer portion. The film-forming polymer portion is stabilized in a vehicle that includes water. The film-forming polymer portion includes a high molecular weight vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and one or more secondary film-forming polymers each having one or more repeat units. The one or more repeat units of the one or more secondary film-forming polymers include imide and/or acid-anhydride functionality. The mascara composition includes at least about 10 percent by weight of the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and is substantially free of wax.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to compositions, films, and methods for improving the appearance of the skin. Compositions comprise an oil phase comprising at least one thermoplastic elastomer, at least one adhesive polymer, and a surfactant; an aqueous phase comprising water, a solvent, and a salt; and at least one filler, which together form an association in the composition. Methods comprise applying the compositions to the skin to tighten the skin or hide skin imperfections, by forming a film on the skin.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising a hyaluronic acid adjuvant system comprising hyaluronic acid, purple rice extract and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, present together in amounts sufficient to produce synergistic anti-hyaluronidase activity, and provided for cosmetic and other uses.
