Abstract

Described herein is a cosmetic composition comprising a mixture of metal oxide pigments having different shapes and sizes which provides high coverage and a natural look upon application.

Claims (14)

1. A cosmetic composition comprising: (i) a first pigment component comprising metal oxide particles bonded to an alumina platelet by an alkyl silane; (ii) a second pigment component comprising metal oxide particles whose surface is modified with a surface treatment comprising isopropyl titanium triisostearate and a silane compound having a hydrophobic portion comprising dimethicone; and (iii) a crosslinked silicone elastomer gelling agent.

2. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of said first pigment to said second pigment, is from about 1:5 to about 5:1.

3. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein said first pigment component comprises titanium dioxide particles.

4. The cosmetic composition of claim 3 , wherein the shape of said titanium dioxide particles is spherical.

5. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , further comprising a light diffuser.

6. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , further comprising particles of boron nitride.

7. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the crosslinked silicone elastomer gelling agent comprises a cyclic epoxide crosslinker.

8. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the crosslinked elastomer silicone gelling agent has the structure:

where R is a C 1 -C 20 hydrocarbon radical, x is from 2 to 4, m is from 1 to about 100, and n and o are from 0 to 100, with at least one of n or o being greater than zero.

9. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , further comprising one or more additional iron oxide pigments.

10. A cosmetic foundation comprising the cosmetic composition of claim 1 , further comprising one or more of nylon powder, calcium carbamate, silica, bismuth oxychloride, and zinc oxide.

11. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition does not comprise a film-former.

12. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein said first and second pigment components together comprise from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the composition.

13. The cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of said first pigment to said second pigment, is from about 1:2 to about 2:1.
