Patent number: 9629792Abstract: A mixable multi-functional composition for application to keratin fibers such as hair, lashes or brows comprising at least one volatile solvent, at least one siloxane resin, at least one montmorillonite mineral, optionally at least one non-volatile oil, and optionally at least one wax; and a method for coloring keratin fibers comprising the steps of sequentially applying to the fibers, in any order, at least one mixable composition and at least one pigmented composition, wherein upon application the mixable composition mixes and combines with the pigmented composition in the wet state to form a final mixed composition that upon drying forms a compatible and homogeneous film.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: ELC Management, LLCInventors: George J. Stepniewski, Paul H. Marotta, Katie Ann Frampton, Christina Santa Maria, Nicole Packard

Publication number: 20140093465Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Inventors: Paul H. Marotta, Daniela Bratescu, Tatyana R. Tabakman, Katie Ann Frampton, George J. Stepniewski

Patent number: 8333956Abstract: 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 tertiary amide, ester, acid, or amine terminal end group. The emulsion is stabilized with an alkylene oxide containing emulsion stabilizer. The polyamide resin is stabilized with a resin stabilizer containing an atom with a certain electronegativity. 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2007Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Color Access, Inc.Inventors: Hernando Brieva, John R. Castro, Dexin Luo, Paul H. Marotta, Shahan Nazar, Tian Xiang Wang, Carl Orr, Richard A. Konik

Patent number: 8118507Abstract: A mascara applicator with vibrating applicator head. The head is caused to vibrate in a controlled manner through electromechanical urging. 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 device allows the mascara to be manipulated for improved results, greater flexibility in formulation, benefits in manufacture, as well as other benefits.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: ELC Managment, LLCInventors: George H. Kress, Paul H. Marotta, Daniela T. Bratescu

Publication number: 20090035335Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing a unique polymer blend, which includes: (a) a first polymeric film-former having a first glass transition temperature ranging from about ?20° C. to about 0° C.; (b) a second polymeric film-former having a second glass transition temperature that is at least 50° C. higher than the first glass transition temperature; and (c) a third cross-linked polymeric film-former. The cosmetic composition of the present invention can be applied to human skin or keratinous fibers for forming a film thereon with exceptionally long wearability, reduced flaking and smudge properties, and good removability by warm water.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Inventors: Paul H. Marotta, Katie A. Flanagan, Tatyana R. Tabakman, John R. Castro, Elizabeth M. Martin
