Two-part cosmetic product
View Patent ↗There are provided two-part cosmetic products and methods for imparting a filling and swelling effect to skin, lips, hair, eyelashes, and/or eyebrows. The two-part cosmetic product has an anhydrous liquid or semi-solid first part composition with a water absorbent polymer, and a water-based second part composition with a water soluble or water dispersible film former. Optionally, the anhydrous first part composition has an oil absorbent polymer. Preferably, the product is wax-free, and is incorporated into a lip line filler, a volumizing mascara, and/or an anti-wrinkle skin care composition.
1. A method for imparting a filling and swelling effect to lips, comprising:
first topically applying to the lips an anhydrous, wax-free liquid or semi-solid composition comprising a water absorbent polymer, wherein said water absorbent polymer is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the composition and
applying a wax-free, water-based composition comprising (i) from about 40% to about 99% by weight water and (ii) a water soluble or water dispersible film former onto said base coat as a top coat, wherein said water-based composition triggers absorption of water by said water absorbent polymer to thereby impart a filling and swelling effect to the lips which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said anhydrous composition is a liquid or semi-solid.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said anhydrous composition further comprises an oil absorbent polymer present at about 0 wt % to about 25 wt %, based on the total weight of said anhydrous composition.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said oil absorbent polymer is selected from the group consisting of silicone elastomer, polyamide, lauryl methacrylate/glycol dimethacrylate crosspolymer, and combinations thereof.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said water-based composition further comprises water present at about 70 wt % to about 95 wt % based on the total weight of said water-based composition.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said water-based composition has a hydrophilic surfactant with an HLB value of at least 9.5.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said film former is selected from the group consisting of acrylic polymer or co-polymer, PVP, styrene polymer, starch, butylated PVP, 2-butendoic acid, diglycol/CHDM/isopthalate/SIP copolymer, acrylic copolymer emulsion, acrylate/ammonium methacrylate copolymer in water, modified starch, sulfonated polystyrene, acrylate/C12-22 alkylmethacrylate copolymer, ethylene carboxamide/acrylomidomethyl propanesulfonic acid/methacrylic acid, acrylate/ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer, and any combinations thereof.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said anhydrous composition further comprises a vehicle selected from the group consisting of gel, silicone oil, solvent, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyglycerol diisostearate, dimethylsiloxane/glycol copolymer, isopropyl myristate, triisostearoyl citrate, and any combinations thereof.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said anhydrous composition further comprises an optical blurring material.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said anhydrous composition further comprises a colorant selected from the group consisting of D&C Red No. 3, D&C Red No. 6, D&C Red No. 7, D&C Red No. 8, D&C Red No. 9, D&C Red No. 21, D&C Red No. 22, D&C Red No. 27, D&C Red No. 28, D&C Red No. 30, D&C Red No. 33, D&C Red No. 34, D&C Red No. 36, FD&C Red No. 40, D&C Yellow No. 5, FD&C Yellow No. 5, FD&C Yellow No. 6, D&C Yellow No. 10, D&C Green No. 3, D&C Green No. 5, D&C Orange No. 5, FD&C Blue No. 1, annatto, copper powder, bismuth oxychloride, guanine, bronze powder, iron oxide, carmel, manganese violet, carmine, mica, titanium dioxide-coated mica, carotene, titanium dioxide, chlorophyllin-calcium complex, zinc oxide, and any combinations thereof.
11. A method for imparting a filling and swelling effect to lips, comprising:
applying a wax-free water-based composition comprising (i) from about 40% to about 99% by weight water and (ii) a water soluble or water dispersible film former onto the lips as a base coat; and
applying an anhydrous, wax-free composition comprising a water absorbent polymer onto the base coat, wherein said water absorbent polymer is present at about 0.1 wt % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the composition, wherein said water-based composition triggers absorption of water by said water absorbent polymer to thereby impart a filling and swelling effect to the lips which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said anhydrous composition is a liquid or semi-solid.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein said anhydrous composition further comprises an oil absorbent polymer present at about 0 wt % to about 25 wt %, based on the total weight of said anhydrous composition.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said oil absorbent polymer is selected from the group consisting of silicone elastomer, polyamide, lauryl methacrylate/glycol dimethacrylate crosspolymer, and combinations thereof.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein said water-based composition further comprises water present at about 40 wt % to about 99 wt % based on the total weight of said water-based composition.
