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. The composition is moisturizing, provides a cool feel on application, and a smooth finish on the skin.
