  • Publication number: 20250114292
    Abstract: A method and system or kit is provided, where makeup containing an alkane and a styrenic block copolymer can be easily removed if a separate makeup-removing composition that includes an alkane and a low viscosity dimethicone (having a viscosity of 60,000 cst or less) is applied. The dimethicone in this viscosity range causes the styrenic block copolymer to gel. After allowing a short period of time for the gelling to occur, the gelled copolymer and the remainder of the makeup can then be readily removed.

  • Patent number: 11602498
    Abstract: Disclosed is an oxidizer-free method for providing semi-permanent curl to eyelashes, and a kit for use with the method. The method involves a three-step process: (i) applying a first composition that includes a reducing agent to an eyelash, (ii) applying a second composition that includes a contractile polymer to the eyelash, and (iii) manually lifting the eyelash. Unlike conventional lash lifting techniques, the disclosed method requires no glue, silicone pads, compositions with oxidizing agents, or heating.

  • Publication number: 20220096340
    Abstract: A method and mascara capable of providing semi-permanent curl to eyelashes is provided. The method involves applying a mascara that is substantially free of waxes and oxidizers to an eyelash, such as a magnetic eyelash. The mascara contains greater than 10% and less than 50% by weight of at least one ferromagnetic pigment, and between 9% and 18% solids content of a contractile polymer.
