Abstract: Charged protein-polymer complexes that bind to human hair are formed by reacting Polyquaternium-6 with hydrolyzed wheat protein PG-propyl silanetriol. Methods of treating hair include delivering the complexes to the hair as a pre-treatment prior to applying a hair care product. Alternatively, the complexes may be incorporated into a hair care or makeup composition, such as a mascara, shampoo or conditioner for simultaneous application to the hair. Once deposited on the hair, the protein-polymer complex does not wash or rinse out after several attempts. The protein-polymer complexes have the effect of repairing and/or protecting the cuticles of the hair from damage associated with use of makeup or treatment products, treatment regimens and environmental aggressors. Some embodiments of the invention include polylysine and/or one or more film forming agents that further enhance the protein complex.

Abstract: A transfer-resistant, single phase aqueous cosmetic compositions are provided. The compositions consist essentially of a water-soluble, film-forming acrylates copolymer and a water-soluble plasticizer for the copolymer. The compositions contain no oils, waxes, surfactants or emulsifiers, are water- and oil-resistant upon drying on the skin, and exhibit high gloss and long-wear and transfer-resistant properties. Compositions containing pigment also demonstrate high color intensity. The compositions are useful as eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss, lipliner, and other cosmetic products.

Abstract: Compositions for use with a mascara applicator with vibrating applicator head. The frequency, amplitude and geometry of the vibrating head are sufficient to significantly alter the rheological properties of thixotropic and anti-thixotropic mascara compositions, including an effect that persists after the vibration has stopped. The mascara may be manipulated for improved results, greater flexibility in formulation, benefits in manufacture, as well as other benefits.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cosmetic composition having a gloss of at least about 85 gloss units (gu), as well as sufficient shape retention properties for forming a stick-shaped cosmetic product. Specifically, the cosmetic composition contains: (a) a high viscosity oil component; (b) a medium viscosity oil component; (c) a low viscosity oil component; and (d) an oily gelling agent comprising an ester of glycerol or polyglycerin with an aliphatic or hydroxyl aliphatic acid and a dibasic acid. A stick-shaped cosmetic product formed by the cosmetic composition of the present invention exhibits a high-shine that is not available in conventional stick-shaped cosmetic products and yet retains the high make-up coverage typically provided by conventional stick-shaped cosmetic products.
