Description
Technical Field
The invention is in the field of cosmetic compositions for application to skin and lips.
Background of the Invention
Cosmetic compositions are generally defined as compositions suitable for application to the human body. Pigmented cosmetic compositions such as makeup, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow are used to color the skin and lips, or to moisturize, hide wrinkles, and the like. Since color is one of the most important reasons for wearing cosmetics, color containing cosmetics must be very carefully formulated to provide maximum wear and effect.
One of the long standing problems with makeups such as face makeup, lipstick, mascara, and the like, is the tendency of the cosmetic to blot or transfer from the skin or lashes onto other surfaces such as glassware, silverware, skin, or clothing. This not only creates soiling, but forces the cosmetic user to reapply the cosmetic at fairly short intervals.
Cosmetic compositions with improved transfer resistance are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,937 which is hereby incorporated by reference. However, these transfer resistant cosmetic compositions can have a matte texture on the skin and lips.
However, some consumers prefer lipsticks that exhibit a lustre finish on the lips. The term "lustre" means that the finish is mid-way between shiny and matte, exhibiting slightly more shine than what is provided by a semi-matte finish. Some consumers believe that very shiny lipsticks provide a very youthful look which is not appropriate on older women. On the other hand, such consumers are not pleased with a completely matte finish. Lipsticks which provide a lustre finish will provide a degree of shine which provides a dewy look associated with youth and good health, but not so shiny as to be patently obvious.
In general, the ingredients that can be added to provide lustre have a tendency to compromise transfer resistance.
It has been unexpectedly discovered that cosmetic compositions containing the combination of a volatile solvent, a guerbet ester, and siloxy silicate polymer provide a high lustre lipstick composition which exhibits transfer resistance which is equivalent if not better than the traditional matte formulas.
An object of this invention is to formulate cosmetic compositions, particularly lipsticks, with long lasting adherence to skin that provide a lustre finish when applied to skin.
Another object of this invention is to formulate a transfer resistant cosmetic composition that provides a lustre finish, that, once applied to skin, resists transfer to glass, clothing, other skin, or utensils.
Summary of the Invention
The invention is directed to high lustre, transfer resistant anhydrous cosmetic stick composition comprising, by weight of the total composition:
a) 10-70% of a volatile solvent having a viscosity of 0.5 to 25 centistokes at 25.degree. C.,
b) 0.5-40% of a guerbet ester
c) 0.1-20% siloxy silicate polymer.
The invention is also directed to a method for providing a cosmetic stick composition with transfer resistance and a high lustre finish when applied to skin, comprising adding to said composition the combination of a volatile solvent, a guerbet citrate ester, and trimethylsiloxy silicate.
Detailed Description
The term "stick" refers to cosmetic compositions having a consistency such that they can be molded into the form of a stick--for instance by being heated until molten and then poured into a mold and cooled. Also included within the definition of "stick" are anhydrous compositions of the invention that are capable of being formed into sticks, but are poured into pans or other types of cake or cream forms to deliver certain consumer benefits. For example, an eyeshadow composition in accordance with the invention may be molded in the stick form, but it may be desired to pour it into a pan because this container is more desireable from a consumer standpoint. The term "anhydrous" means that the composition contains no more than about 5 percent, more particularly about 1 to 2 percent by weight or less of water, or more preferably, that water is not intentionally added to the cosmetic composition of the invention. All percentages mentioned herein are percentages by weight unless otherwise indicated.
The Volatile Solvent
The composition of the invention contains 10-70%, preferably 15-60%, more preferably 20-60% of a volatile solvent. The volatile solvent component of the composition is a liquid, and enables easy formulation of the cosmetic stick of the invention. The term "volatile" means that the solvent has a measureable vapor pressure, i.e. a vapor pressure of at least 2 mm. of mercury at 20.degree. C. When the cosmetic stick product of the invention is applied to skin or lips, the volatile solvent of the invention must be capable of flashing off to leave the other ingredients in the stick on the skin. The composition of the invention comprises 10-70%, preferably 20-65%, and most preferably 25-60% of a volatile solvent. The volatile solvent generally has a viscosity of 0.5 to 25 centistokes at 25.degree. C. Suitable volatile solvents include linear silicones, cyclic silicones, paraffinic hydrocarbons, or mixtures thereof
Cyclic silicones (or cyclomethicones) are of the general formula: ##STR1## where n=3-7.
Linear volatile silicones in accordance with the invention have the general formula:

Linear and cyclic volatile silicones are available from various commercial sources including Dow Corning Corporation and General Electric. The Dow Coming volatile silicones are sold under the tradenames Dow Coming 244, 245, 344, and 200 fluids. These fluids comprise octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, and mixtures thereof.
Also suitable as the volatile solvent are various straight or branched chain paraffinic hydrocarbons having 5 to 40 carbon atoms, more preferably 8-20 carbon atoms. Suitable hydrocarbons include pentane, hexane, heptane, decane, dodecane, tetradecane, tridecane, and C.sub.8-20 isoparaffins as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,439,088 and 3,818,105, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Preferred volatile paraffinic hydrocarbons have a molecular weight of 70-190, preferably 160 to 180 and a boiling point range of 30 to 320, preferably 60-260 degrees C., and a viscosity of less than 20 cs. at 25 degrees C. Such paraffinic hydrocarbons are available from EXXON under the ISOPARS trademark, and from the Permethyl Corporation. Suitable C.sub.12 isoparaffins are manufactured by Permethyl Corporation under the tradename Permethyl 99A.

Various C.sub.16 isoparaffins commercially available, such as isohexadecane (having the tradename Permethyl R), are also suitable. The volatile
The Guerbet Ester
The composition of the invention contains 0.5-40%, preferably 1-30%, more preferably 2-20% of a guerbet ester. The term "guerbet ester" means an ester which is formed by the reaction of a guerbet alcohol having the general formula: ##STR2## with a carboxylic acid having the general formula:
