Abstract: The invention refers to a new cosmetic gel product which contains oils or fats and suitable gel forming polymers and which has improved characteristics as regards stability and structure. The product of the invention comprises 5-85% by weight of a fat phase forming agent selected from among oils, hydrogenated hydrocarbons, alkenes, mono esters, di esters, tri esters and mixtures thereof, 0.1-15% by weight of a further gelling agent selected from among 12-hydroxy stearic acid, polyethylene whose molecular weight is between 400 and 2500 Daltons, glyceryl behenate and mixtures thereof, 0.5-5% by weight of a surface-active agent, and ad 100% by weight other auxiliary substances, carrier substances, active substances and mixtures thereof, all percentages being relative to the weight of the gel product. The product is wax-free and free of fatty absorbing substances and has as a stick a water content up to 60% and with no sweating or bleeding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-part cosmetic product that imparts a filling and/or swelling effect to hair, eyebrows or eyelashes, preferably a mascara. The invention uses an anhydrous base coat composition with a water absorbing ingredient being a salt of acrylic or polyacrylic acid and a CO2 releasing compound which is a carbonate or bicarbonate to expand or swell the film former of the top coat with the in situ generated CO2 when the water containing top coat is applied to the anhydrous base coat.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel cosmetic product with special flexibility and stretching characteristics, so-called “stretch-mascara”. The mascara has an oil phase and an aqueous phase, said oil phase containing 2 to 10 wt. % of an unbranched polyethylene wax with a molecular weight of 400 to 1500 Dalton, in relation to the weight of the oil phase, and at least one other wax or oil or mixture thereof. The aqueous phase contains 0.5 to 5% of a film former PVP/PVP-VA, polyquaternium-46 and mixtures thereof. The product also contains 0.5 to 20 wt. % of an external film former phase with a water-soluble film former selected from the group PEG/PPG-25/25 dimethicone/carylates/t-butyl acrylates copolymer, polyurethane-1 and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water-resistant mascara composition that has a high water content. The inventive mascara composition contains an oil phase comprising a liquid ester, an oil, or a mixture thereof, 1 to 50 percent by weight of a silicon-based film-forming agent, 1 to 10 percent by weight of a gel-forming agent selected among fatty acid esters, glycol derivatives, or mixtures thereof, 1 to 50 percent by weight of substances selected among pigments, powders, fillers, and mixtures thereof, an aqueous phase comprising 42 to 75 percent by weight of water, 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of a surfactant, and other carrier substances, auxiliary agents, active substances, or mixtures thereof until reaching 100 percent by weight. Said composition contains no wax and no hydrocarbon solvent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new cosmetic cleansing composition with improved skin conditioning and stability properties. Said cleansing composition contains (in % by weight) 5-60% of a surface-active agent, 0.1-10% of a diblock or triblock copolymer or a mixture thereof, 0.1-10% of a saturated liquid oligomer of an unsaturated fatty acid, said oligomer having more than 30 carbon atoms, 0.1-30% of an oil or fat, 10-80% of water, nd has an improved average foam stability ranging between 35 and 60 mm according to the foam stability test.
