Abstract: Substantially greaseless cosmetic stick, particularly for applying eye shadow, comprises a carrier of compacted powder made of materials softer than calcium carbonate having a particle size between 1 and 20 microns, while its other constituents consist of powders having a particle size not greater than 25 microns.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions, particularly lipsticks, which contain essentially: (1) at least one liposoluble polymer having vinyl ester units; (2) at least 10% by weight 1-docosanoyloxy-3-(2-ethyl)-hexyloxy-2-propanol or a compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R represents a radical derived from lanolin alcohol R' represents the radical C.sub.10 H.sub.21 and n is 1.5;(3) at least one fatty body; and (4) at least one non-toxic coloring material. Processes for preparing such compositions, and particularly for preparing 1-docosanoyloxyl-(2-ethyl)-3-hexyloxy-2-propanol are also disclosed.

Abstract: Cosmetic composition for hardening nails is formed from trimethylolmelamine or tris-(hydroxy-methylamino)-2, 4, 6 s triazine; at least one non-cationic cosmetic resin and/or at least one cationic resin; a plasticizer and an acid.

Abstract: New nail polish compositions including a resin, a plasticizer, a solvent system, a filming agent, and optionally colorants, wherein the resin is a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and hexyl methacrylate.

Abstract: A fatty composition for use in producing cosmetic compositions comprising a mixture of at least one cosmetic fatty body and at least one non-toxic copolymer of the formula: ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a saturated hydrocarbon chain, linear or branched, having from 1-19 carbon atoms;R.sub.2 represents a member selected from the group consisting ofA. ##EQU2## wherein R.sub.4 has the same meaning as R.sub.1 but is different from R.sub.1 in the same copolymer,B. --CH.sub.2 --R.sub.5, wherein R.sub.5 represents a saturated hydrocarbon chain, linear or branched, having from 5-25 carbon atoms,C. --O--R.sub.6, wherein R.sub.6 is a saturated hydrocarbon chain having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, andD. ##EQU3## wherein R.sub.7 is a saturated hydrocarbon chain, linear or branched, having from 1-19 carbon atoms, andR.sub.3 represents hydrogen when R.sub.2 represents (a), (b), or (c) or R.sub.3 represents methyl when R.sub.2 represents (d).
