Abstract: The present invention relates to a gelled cosmetic emulsion comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a gelling system which contains at least one non-siloxane based polyamide in a sufficient amount to gel the emulsion. The polyamide can have an ester, acid, or amine terminal end group. The emulsion is stabilized with an alkylene oxide containing emulsion stabilizer. The emulsions of the present invention are substantially transparent and when colorants are added the color is especially bright and clear. The emulsions are used in lipstick and mascara products as well as other gel and stick products.

Abstract: A brush for the application of mascara to the eyelashes comprised of a central core of twisted metal wire, having gripped therebetween split fibers which extend radially from the core, wherein the fibers are split at least a portion of the distance from the fiber tip to the central core; and method for making the brush; and a mascara component containing the brush.

Abstract: A pigmented emulsion composition for application to eyelashes or eyebrows comprising an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase, wherein the non-aqueous phase comprises at least one organic, solid, non-polymeric gelling agent, which is capable of gelling the pigmented emulsion composition to a viscosity of 4,000 to 2,000,000 centipoise at 25° C., and a method for lengthening, coloring, and curling eyelashes using said composition.

Abstract: An anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising, by weight of the total composition, 1-50% of a polar, emulsifying siloxane elastomer, 0.01-40% particulate material; and 1-70% of a nonpolar oil; an anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising an emulsifying siloxane elastomer and an incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient, wherein the emulsifying siloxane elastomer is present in an amount sufficient to render the incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient compatible in the anhydrous cosmetic composition; and a method for preparing stable, anhydrous cosmetic compositions comprising at least one incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient, comprising adding to the anhydrous composition an emulsifying siloxane elastomer in an amount sufficient to cause the incompatible nonaqueous polar ingredient to become compatible in the anhydrous cosmetic composition.
