Abstract

Cosmetic compositions and methods with improved transfer resistance and long wear properties are disclosed. The cosmetic compositions contain a synergistic combination of at least one silicone polyurethane polymer and at least one elastomer.

Claims (33)

1 .- 27 . (canceled)

28 . A cosmetic composition comprising a synergistic combination of:

(i) a silicone polyurethane polymer; and

(ii) an elastomeric component comprising a polyorganosiloxane gum having a viscosity of from about 1,000,000 centistokes to about 3,500,000 centistokes when measured at 25° C.;

wherein the elastomeric component comprises one or more elastomers selected from the group consisting of silicone gums, polyisobutylene, natural rubbers, and block-copolymer rubbers;

wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 50:1 to about 1:50; and

wherein the synergetic combination provides an improvement in one or more characteristic selected from the group consisting of water transfer resistance, oil transfer resistance, durability, and rheology.

29 . The cosmetic composition of claim 28 wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 25:1 to about 1:25.

30 . The cosmetic composition of claim 28 wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to polyorganosiloxane gum from about 10:1 to about 1:10.

31 . The cosmetic composition of claim 28 wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to polyorganosiloxane gum from about 5:1 to about 1:5.

32 . The cosmetic composition of claim 28 wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to polyorganosiloxane gum from about 3:1 to about 1:3.

33 . The cosmetic composition of claim 28 wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to polyorganosiloxane gum from about 2:1 to about 1:2.

34 . The composition of claim 28 wherein the improvement is selected from the group consisting of water transfer resistance and oil transfer resistance.

35 . The composition of claim 28 wherein the improvement is an improvement in water transfer resistance.

36 . The composition of claim 28 wherein the composition is one of a lip gloss, a mascara, or a hair care product.

37 . A method for imparting a transfer resistant film to a biological surface comprising:

applying to the surface a composition comprising a synergistic combination of

(i) a silicone polyurethane polymer; and

(ii) an elastomeric component comprising a polyorganosiloxane gum having a viscosity of from about 1,000,000 centistokes to about 3,500,000 centistokes when measured at 25° C.;

wherein the elastomeric component comprises one or more elastomers selected from the group consisting of silicone gums, polyisobutylene, natural rubbers, and block-copolymer rubbers;

wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 50:1 to about 1:50;

wherein the synergetic combination provides an improvement in one or more characteristic selected from the group consisting of water transfer resistance, oil transfer resistance, durability, and rheology; and

wherein the composition provides improved oil and/or water transfer resistance as compared to an otherwise identical composition in the absence of either the silicone polyurethane polymer or the elastomer.

38 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the improved transfer resistance comprises improved water transfer resistance.

39 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the improved transfer resistance comprises improved oil transfer resistance.

40 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the at least one elastomer comprises silicone gum.

41 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the at least one elastomer comprises polyisobutylene.

42 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 25:1 to about 1:25.

43 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 10:1 to about 1:10.

44 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 5:1 to about 1:5.

45 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to elastomeric component from about 3:1 to about 1:3.

46 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the synergistic combination comprises a weight ratio of silicone polyurethane polymer to polyorganosiloxane gum from about 2:1 to about 1:2.

47 . The method of claim 37 , further comprising applying an optionally clear top coat over the transfer resistant film.
