Abstract

There is provided an aqueous cosmetic composition. The composition has an amount of a water-resistant film former and an amount of an oil-resistant film former effective to impart resistance to both water and oil when applied to the lip and/or skin. A preferred composition is a lip coloring and gloss product.

Claims (30)

1. A cosmetic composition, comprising:

10 wt % to about 90 wt % water; and

an amount of a water-resistant film former and an amount of an oil-resistant film former effective to impart water and oil resistance to the composition, wherein the water-resistant film former is a butyl acrylate/hydroxypropyl dimethicone acrylate copolymer, and wherein the oil-resistant film former is an acrylates copolymer.

2. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a colorant.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a lip gloss.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a lip coloring composition.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is selected from the group consisting of a foundation, an eyeshadow, a liner and a mascara.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the water-resistant film former is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the water-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the water-resistant film former has a Fedor's solubility value about 20 or less and a surface tension value about 30 less.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil-resistant film former is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil-resistant film former is present at about 2 wt % to about 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil-resistant film former has a Fedor's solubility value greater than about 20 and a surface tension value greater than about 30.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the water is present at about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

13. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the colorant is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

14. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of a colorant, wherein the composition is a lip coloring composition, and wherein the water-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt %, and wherein the oil-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt %, and wherein the water is present at about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

15. A method of imparting transfer-resistant color and/or gloss to lips and/or skin, comprising applying to the lips and/or skin & composition having 10 wt % to about 90 wt % water; and an amount of a water-resistant film former and an amount of an oil-resistant film former effective to impart resistance to both water and oil when applied to the lips and/or skin, wherein the water-resistant film former is a butyl acrylate/hydroxypropyl dimethicone acrylate copolymer, and wherein the oil-resistant film former is an acrylates copolymer.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the composition has a colorant.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the composition is a lip gloss.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the composition is a lip coloring composition.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the composition is selected from the group Consisting of a foundation, an eyeshadow, a liner and a mascara.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the water-resistant film former is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

21. The method of claim 15 , wherein the water-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

22. The method of claim 15 , wherein the water-resistant film former has a Fedor's solubility value about 20 or less and a surface tension value about 30 less.

23. The method of claim 15 , wherein the oil-resistant film former is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

24. The method of claim 15 , wherein the oil-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

25. The method of claim 15 , wherein the oil-resistant film former has a Fedor's solubility value greater than about 20 and a surface tension value greater than about 30.

26. The method of claim 15 , wherein the water is present at about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

27. The method of claim 15 , wherein the colorant is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

28. The method of claim 15 , wherein the composition has about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of a colorant, wherein the composition is a lip coloring composition, and wherein the water-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt %, and wherein the oil-resistant film former is present at about 1 wt % to about 20 wt %, and wherein the water is present at about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.
