Abstract: A biodegradable package includes a shaped body formed from a composition that contains: (i) a source of starch; (ii) a strengthening agent; (iii) a binding agent; (iv) a plasticizer; and a moisture-impermeable film covering at least a portion of the shaped body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one polar modified polymer and at least one tackifier, as well as to methods of using such compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a physiologically acceptable composition, especially a cosmetic composition, comprising at least one polar modified polymer, as well as to methods of using such compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed are mascara compositions containing a first acrylates copolymer having a relatively low glass transition temperature (Tg) which is less than about 0° C., a second acrylates copolymer having a relatively high glass transition temperature which is between about 0° C. and less than about 60° C., wherein a mixture of the first and second acrylates copolymers has a Tg less than about 20° C., and a solvent. Also disclosed are methods for making the mascara and applying them to keratinous tissue such as eyelashes in order to enhance their appearance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a keratin fibre coating composition comprising an aqueous phase and at least one resin chosen from rosins, rosin derivatives and hydrocarbon-based resins, and mixtures thereof, the said resin having a number-average molecular weight of less than or equal to 10 000, the said composition being capable of forming a film with a water resistance such that ?L is less than or equal to ?1.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition containing: (a) at least one tackifier component having a solubility parameter corresponding to ?; (b) at least one liposoluble polymer having at least one segment with a solubility parameter corresponding to ?+2; (c) at least one solvent; and (d) optionally, at least one colorant.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions for keratin materials (hair or eyelashes) such as mascaras, topcoats and basecoats containing (a) at least one phosphate surfactant; and (b) at least one polyamide resin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition useful as a cosmetic containing at least one structuring polymer with a polymer skeleton having at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit with at least one hetero atom and at least one polyester resin.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition, particularly useful as a base composition for mascara, containing fibers and at least three film formers: at least one tacky film former soluble or dispersible in water; at least one tacky film former soluble in oil; and at least one additional water-soluble or water-dispersible film former. The invention also relates to a method for pre-treating eyelashes prior to application of mascara and a method for providing volume and length to eyelashes using the inventive composition.
