Abstract: The present invention provides a cosmetic composition containing a partially crystalline polyolefin homopolymer or copolymer wax and a solvent system. Specifically, the partially crystalline polyolefin homopolymer or copolymer wax is characterized by a refractive index ranging from about 1.4 to about 1.6, a viscosity measured at 170° C. ranging from about 5,000 mPas to about 15,000 mPas, a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 22,000 to about 28,000, and a polydispersity index ranging from about 2 to about 2.5. The solvent system is characterized by a refractive index that is matched with the refractive index of the wax and includes one or more solvents that are compatible with the wax for forming a solid, substantially clear, stick-shaped cosmetic product.

Abstract: A multiple day wear composition for keratin surfaces comprising at least one volatile solvent, at least one crosslinked organosiloxane film former, and from about 5 to 12% of montmorillonite minerals comprising a mixture of bentonite and hectorite wherein the ratio of bentonite to hectorite montmorillonite mineral ranges from about 2 to 4 parts of bentonite to 1 part of hectorite and related methods.
