Abstract

Nonwoven and elastomeric substrates having formulations disposed thereon, wherein the formulations have improved compatibility with the substrate, are disclosed herein. More particularly, the formulations can be applied on the substrates without compromising the elastomeric properties and overall integrity of the substrate. Laminated articles using one or more of the nonwoven and elastomeric substrates having the formulations disposed thereon are further disclosed.

Claims (17)

1. An elastomeric substrate comprising a formulation comprising greater than 5% (by weight formulation) water, from about 25% to about 57% (by weight formulation) of at least one cosmetic carrier, wherein the at least one cosmetic carrier is dimethicone, and wherein the at least one cosmetic carrier comprises greater than 70% by weight of an oil phase of the formulation, wherein the formulation is a water-in-silicone emulsion, wherein the formulation has a dielectric constant of from about 6.0 to about 35.0, and wherein the elastomeric substrate retains at least about 80% of the tension of the untreated substrate at 30% elongation.

2. The elastomeric substrate as set forth in claim 1 wherein the substrate includes at least 10% w/w formulation.

3. The elastomeric substrate as set forth in claim 1 wherein the formulation comprises greater than about 10% (by weight formulation) water.

4. A nonwoven substrate comprising a formulation comprising greater than 5% (by weight formulation) water, from about 25% to about 57% (by weight formulation) of at least one cosmetic carrier, wherein the at least one cosmetic carrier is dimethicone, and wherein the at least one cosmetic carrier comprises greater than 70% by weight of an oil phase of the formulation, wherein the formulation is a water-in-silicone emulsion, wherein the formulation has a dielectric constant of from about 6.0 to about 35.0, and wherein the nonwoven substrate retains at least about 80% of the tension of the untreated substrate at 30% elongation.

5. The nonwoven substrate as set forth in claim 4 wherein the substrate includes at least 10% w/w formulation.

6. The nonwoven substrate as set forth in claim 4 wherein the formulation comprises greater than about 10% (by weight formulation) water.

7. A laminated article comprising:

a first substrate; and

a second substrate, wherein at least one of the first and second substrates comprises a formulation, the formulation comprising:

greater than 5% (by weight formulation) water,

from about 25% to about 57% (by weight formulation) of at least one cosmetic carrier, wherein the at least one cosmetic carrier is dimethicone, and wherein the at least one cosmetic carrier comprises greater than 70% by weight of an oil phase of the formulation,

wherein the formulation is a water-in-silicone emulsion, wherein the formulation has a dielectric constant of from about 6.0 to about 35.0, and

wherein the laminated article retains at least 80% of the tension of the untreated article at 30% elongation.

8. The laminated article as set forth in claim 7 wherein the article includes at least 10% w/w formulation.

9. The laminated article as set forth in claim 7 wherein the first substrate is a nonwoven substrate and the second substrate is a water-impermeable layer.

10. The laminated article as set forth in claim 7 wherein the formulation comprises from about 25% to about 35% (by weight formulation) of cosmetic carrier.

11. The laminated article as set forth in claim 7 wherein the formulation comprises less than 25% of mineral oil.
