Abstract: The invention relates to a gellant system for a polar oil comprising gellant effective amounts of silica, a sugar fatty acid ester and a long chain polymer. The gellant system of the invention is useful in gelling polar oils to produce transparent or translucent gels useful in topical compositions.

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 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a topical composition for application to the lips comprising a reaction product of a silica dioxide, or a derivative thereof, with a dimethylsiloxy resin having a viscosity of about 1000 to about 200,000 cs, in combination with a volatile carrier.

Abstract: A transfer-resistant, single phase aqueous cosmetic composition is provided. The composition contains a water-soluble, film-forming acrylic acid- or methacrylic acid-containing acrylates copolymer and a water-soluble ester. The composition is water- and oil-resistant upon drying on the skin, and exhibits high gloss and long-wearing and transfer-resistant properties. Compositions containing pigment also demonstrate high color intensity. The compositions are useful as eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss, lipliner, and other cosmetic products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gelled cosmetic emulsion comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a gelling system which contains a polyamide resin containing a linking hetero-atom with a certain electronegativity in a sufficient amount to gel the emulsion, and a resin stabilizer containing an atom with a certain electronegativity. The polyamide has a tertiary amide as the terminal end group. The emulsions of the present invention are substantially transparent and when colorants are added the color are especially bright and clear. In addition, the gelled emulsions are substantially non-sweating. The emulsions are used in lipstick and mascara products as well as other gel and stick products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for topical application to the skin which comprises a fibrous component for promoting the transfer of moisture and oil and the removal of unpleasant and unwanted moisture from the skin, especially the facial skin. The fibrous component can include wicking fibers, evaporating fibers, or a combination of both. The compositions of the present invention regulate moisture and oil when applied to the skin.
