Abstract

Abstract Cosmetic compositions, particularly lipsticks, which contain essentially: (1) at least one liposoluble polymer having vinyl ester units; (2) at least 10% by weight 1-docosanoyloxy-3-(2-ethyl)-hexyloxy-2-propanol or a compound of the formula: <IMAGE> wherein: R represents a radical derived from lanolin alcohol R' represents the radical C10H21 and n is 1.5; (3) at least one fatty body; and (4) at least one non-toxic coloring material. Processes for preparing such compositions, and particularly for preparing 1-docosanoyloxyl-(2-ethyl)-3-hexyloxy-2-propanol are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 38 words
A cosmetic composition for lipsticks, comprising: (a) at least one liposoluble polymer having vinyl ester units; (b) at least 10% by weight of 1-docosanoyloxy-3 (2-ethyl)-hexyloxy-2-propanol (c) at least one fatty body; (d) at least one non-toxic coloring material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 38 words
A cosmetic composition for lipsticks, comprising: (a) at least one liposoluble polymer having vinyl ester units; (b) at least 10% by weight of 1-docosanoyloxy-3 (2-ethyl)-hexyloxy-2-propanol (c) at least one fatty body; (d) at least one non-toxic coloring material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 44 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer having vinyl ester units is a homopolymer resulting from the homopolymerization of a monomer selected from the group consisting of vinyl hexanoate, vinyl 2,2-dimethyl-pentanoate, vinyl octanoate, the vinyl cekanoates, vinyl laurate, vinyl stearate, and vinyl isostearate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 79 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer having the vinyl ester units is a copolymer selected from the group consisting of copolymers of: vinyl acetate/vinyl laurate, vinyl acetate/vinyl stearate, vinyl acetate/1-octadecene, vinyl acetate/octadecyl vinyl ether, vinyl propionate/allyl laurate, vinyl propionate/vinyl laurate, vinyl stearate/1-octadecene, vinyl acetate/1-dodecene, vinyl stearate/ethyl vinyl ether, vinyl propionate/cetyl vinyl ether, vinyl stearate/allyl acetate, vinyl 2,2-dimethyl-octanoate/vinyl laurate, allyl 2,2-dimethyl-pentanoate/vinyl laurate, vinyl dimethylpropionate/vinyl stearate, allyl dimethylpropionate/vinyl stearate, vinyl propionate/vinyl stearate, vinyl dimethylproprionate/vinyl laurate, and allyl propionate/allyl stearate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
