Abstract: A method for removing dead surface cells, dirt, oil, or blackheads from the skin, and preventing or ameliorating the effects of blemishes or acne vulgaris, comprising applying to the skin a laminate comprised of a fabric strip and a solvent activated composition containing at least one nonionic polymer in combination with at least one skin conditioning agent, leaving the laminate on the skin until the solvent has substantially evaporated, and peeling the laminate off the skin, thereby removing dead surface cells, dirt, oil, or blackheads from the skin; as well as related articles and compositions.

Abstract: An anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising, by weight of the total composition, 1-50% of a polar, emulsifying siloxane elastomer, 0.01-40% particulate material; and 1-70% of a nonpolar oil; an anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising an emulsifying siloxane elastomer and an incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient, wherein the emulsifying siloxane elastomer is present in an amount sufficient to render the incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient compatible in the anhydrous cosmetic composition; and a method for preparing stable, anhydrous cosmetic compositions comprising at least one incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient, comprising adding to the anhydrous composition an emulsifying siloxane elastomer in an amount sufficient to cause the incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient to become compatible in the anhydrous cosmetic composition.

Abstract: A pigmented cosmetic stick composition comprising, by weight of the total composition:1-40% of a volatile nonaqueous solvent having a viscosity of 0.5 to 5 centipoise at 25.degree. C.,20-80% of a first nonvolatile oil which is a C.sub.12-22 fatty ester of citric acid,1-35% of a second nonvolatile oil,1-30% of a wax having a melting point of 30 to 135.degree. C. which is an ethylene homopolymer or ethylene copolymer,0.1-25% of particulate matter having a particle size of 0.5 to 200 microns; andwherein the total amount of nonvolatile oil present in the stick is greater than about 31% by weight of the total composition.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition comprising an oil component and a particulate matter component, the improvement wherein the composition additionally contains an uncrosslinked synthetic polymer having a glass transition temperature of -10 to 75.degree. C., comprising at least one methacrylate ester monomer repeat unit which, if polymerized, would yield a polymer having a glass transition temperature of -10 to 75.degree. C.

Abstract: A compact for holding a cosmetic composition under substantially air tight conditions when in the closed position, comprising a base having a compartment with side walls for storing the cosmetic composition, and threaded engaging means on the outer peripheral surface of the side walls, a cover having threaded engaging means on the inner surface thereof, capable of mating with the threaded engaging means on the outer peripheral surface of the compartment side walls to close the compact, a sealing means between the inner surface of the cover means and the top peripheral surface of the compartment side walls which provides substantially air-tight conditions when the compact is in the closed position, a cosmetic product dispensing means fitted on top of the cosmetic composition stored in the compartment of the base means, having a plurality of aperatures which permit the cosmetic composition to be released through the aperatures upon application of pressure to the dispensing means.

Abstract: An anhydrous cosmetic stick composition with improved transfer resistance comprising, by weight of the total composition:a) 10-70% of a volatile solventb) 0.1-40% of a polymeric organosiloxane emulsifier containing at least one hydrophilic radical and at least one lipophilic radical.

Abstract: A water and oil emulsion solid cosmetic composition comprising 0.1-20% of a primary soap based gelling agent, 0.01-20% of a secondary gelling agent selected from the group consisting of an aqueous phase gelling agent, an oil phase gelling agent; and mixtures thereof, 0.1-30% emollient oil, 0.1-20% surfactant, 0.1-50% particulates having a particle size of 0.5 to 100 microns, and 5-95% water.
