Abstract: A liquid anhydrous composition including (a) at least one water soluble dye, (b) at least one polyol, and (c) a polyglyceryl-10 pentaoleate, (d) at least one volatile oil, wherein the relative mass amount of (a)/(b)/(c) is ranging between 1/0.6/8?(a)/(b)/(c)?1/6/18, and a method for preparing the liquid anhydrous composition.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions which include low molecular weight non-volatile oils, such as dimethicone, along with silica and a volatile solvent are provided. Such compositions exhibit surprisingly beneficial properties such as long wear, resistance to color transfer, low tack and excellent comfort and shine.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cosmetic composition containing at least one styrene/acrylate copolymer and retaining gloss properties, comfort without irritation, and staying power for up to about 8 hours.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition containing a silicone resin polymer comprised of M units in combination with Q or T units or both, wherein the number of M units is greater than the number of Q units or T units or combination thereof, and a method for improving the finish of a cosmetic composition.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition for coloring, conditioning, or beautifying keratinous surfaces comprising at least one film forming polymer which comprises vinyl ester monomers.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising Backbiting Silicone Polymer in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic compositions containing certain phenyl silicones and the use of such silicones in improving the properties of cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition comprising at least one very high viscosity silicone gum in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A nail enamel composition comprising, by weight of the total composition, about 10-95% solvent, and 5-95% of a film forming polymer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 5 to 90° Centigrade, and containing about 2 to 29% by weight of the total polymer of at least one polar monomer; a two container kit for polishing the nails containing the nail enamel composition of the invention and a second composition comprising 1-99% solvent and 1-99% of an film forming polymer; and method for polishing nails using the composition and kit of the invention.

Abstract: A stabilized film forming cosmetic composition comprising a stabilizing effective amount of dispersed non-quaternary montmorillonite mineral and a film forming effective amount of a film forming component, and a method for compatibilizing ingredients in long wearing or transfer resistant cosmetic compositions by formulating such compositions with a non-quaternary montmorillonite mineral.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions containing at least one homopolymer or random copolymer obtained from the polymerization of nonpolar hydrocarbon diene monomers.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition containing a silicone resin polymer comprised of M units in combination with Q or T units or both, wherein the number of M units is greater than the number of Q units or T units or combination thereof, and a method for improving the finish of a cosmetic composition.
