A wrinkle treatment formulation is provided which is in the form of a gel formed of at least 95% by weight of a gelable hydrophilic polyurethane polymer base and a precipitated silica thickener gelling agent. Upon brushing the above-described gel formulation on wrinkled skin, the gel fills up wrinkles and dries to impart to so-treated skin a smooth substantially wrinkle-free appearance.
The invention relates to a cosmetic composition having an immediate anti-wrinkle effect, containing an effective amount of at least one mineral filler, with the exclusion of any mixed silicate, the mineral filler being in the form of colloid particles in a stable dispersion in an aqueous medium. The invention also relates to using such a filler as a tensing agent in and/or for preparing a cosmetic composition.
Basic ferric sulphate or hydrated aluminum chloride solution used as a haemostatic agent, is made easier to handle and apply by gelling with colloidal silicon dioxide.
A cosmetic composition for treating skin includes by weight percent from 50-99.5% cosmetically acceptable vehicle for topical administration, 0.5-20% collagenase/elastase inhibitor, 0-10% moisturizer, 0-25% emollient, 0-10% humectant and 0-0.5% fragrance. A method for treating skin to reduce evidence of wrinkles and aging includes topically applying a cosmetic composition including a cosmetically effective amount of a collagenase/elastase inhibitor as an active ingredient.
A wrinkle masking composition and process for use which temporarily eliminates fine line wrinkles and blemishes of the skin by filling, covering or otherwise effectively masking them. The composition includes a film forming polymer, a plasticizer for the polymeric matrix, a biopolymeric modifier and a filler including aluminosilicate. Optionally, the composition includes cosmetic additives, for example, pigments, rheology control agents, binders and preservatives. By molding itself to the skin, the present invention is compatible with and can be worn under makeup without cracking or peeling.
Makeup compositions having enhanced transfer resistance including at least one hydrophilic film former. The makeup can be a water-in-oil emulsion having the hydrophilic film former in the internal water phase and at least one pigment in the external oil phase. The makeup composition can also be a suspension of one or more cationically-coated pigments in water in which the hydrophilic film former is dissolved. The hydrophilic film former may also be an anionic gelling agent, whereby the cationically-coated pigment and the anionic gelling agent form a water-dispersable complex that upon application to the skin forms an insoluble pigmented salt having enhanced transfer resistance.
