Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
A process for preparing a cosmetic powder which comprises treating an inorganic pigment powder with a metal ion blocking agent, dehydrating and drying the treated powder, treating the inorganic pigment powder with a metallic soap before or after treatment with the metal ion blocking agent, and blending the resulting pigment with a perfume.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
A process for preparing a cosmetic powder which comprises treating an inorganic pigment powder with a metal ion blocking agent, dehydrating and drying the treated powder, treating the inorganic pigment powder with a metallic soap before or after treatment with the metal ion blocking agent, and blending the resulting pigment with a perfume.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said inorganic pigment is at least one member selected from the group consisting of oxides and hydroxides of metals, clay minerals, metal carbonates, metal sulfates, silicon compounds and ferrocyanide compounds.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said inorganic pigment is at least one member selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium oxide, red iron oxide, black iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, alumina, kaolin, talc, mica, montmorillonite, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, silica, ultramarine and Prussian blue.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
102 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said metal ion blocking agent is at least one member selected from compounds of the following formulae (1), (2) and (3), and organophosphoric compounds: {N(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 N).sub.x } (CH.sub.2 COOH).sub.y ( 1) wherein x is 0 or a positive integer, and y is a positive integer, with the proviso that y=x + 3; {N(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 N).sub.x } (CH.sub.2 COOH).sub.y (C.sub.2 H.sub.4 OH).sub.z ( 2) wherein x is 0 or a positive integer, y + z = x + 3, and y, z ≧ 1; and N(NHC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.n NH.sub.2 ( 3) wherein n is a positive integer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said metal ion blocking agent is selected from the group consisting of nitrolotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, diethylenetriaminopentacetic acid, and alkali metal salts of these acids; dihydroxyethyl glycine, hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid, and alkali metal salts of these acids; triethylene tetramine, and tetraethylene pentamine; and phytic acid, hydroxyethane diphosphonic acid and alkali metal salts of these acids.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of the metal ion blocking agent in the treated pigment is about 0.01 to about 10% by weight based on the amount of the untreated pigment powder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the treatment with the metal ion blocking agent is carried out by dipping the pigment powder in an aqueous solution of the metal ion blocking agent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein an antioxidant is added in any desired step in the process of preparing the cosmetic.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
The cosmetic of claim 1 wherein the cosmetic is a fragrant powder, solid powder or oily powder.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cosmetic comprising an inorganic pigment powder treated with both a metal ion blocking agent and a metallic soap, and a perfume blended therewith.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cosmetic comprising an inorganic pigment powder treated with both a metal ion blocking agent and a metallic soap, and a perfume blended therewith.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 10 wherein the metallic soap is an Al, Mg, Ca, Zn, Ba or Li salt of a straight chain saturated fatty acid containing 10 to 22 carbon atoms.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process of claim 10 wherein the amount of the metallic soap in the pigment treated with the metallic soap is about 0.1 to about 20% by weight based on the amount of the untreated pigment.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
60 words
The process of claim 10 wherein the treatment with the metallic soap is carried out by first treating the pigment treated or untreated with the metal ion blocking agent, with one of an aqueous solution of an alkali metal salt of a fatty acid and an aqueous solution of a metal salt, and then treating the product with the other.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 10 wherein the metallic soap treatment is carried out by dipping the pigment treated or untreated with the metal ion blocking agent in an organic solvent solution of the metallic soap.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
25 words
