Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
A noncompacted powder composition for make-up or care of the body and face having superior oil absorbing effect consisting essentially of hollow microspheres of a vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile polymer containing by weight 20 to 60 percent of units derived from vinylidene chloride, 20 to 60 percent of units derived from acrylonitrile and 0-40 percent by weight of units derived from an acrylic or styrene monomer and having a specific mass less than 0.1 g/cm 3 , said microspheres being present in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 20 weight percent based on the total weight of said composition, and an oil present in an amount ranging from 1.5 to 70 weight percent based on the total weight of said composition characterized by base of spreading, fineness, softness and comfort.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 128 words
A noncompacted powder composition for make-up or care of the body and face having superior oil absorbing effect consisting essentially of hollow microspheres of a vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile polymer containing by weight 20 to 60 percent of units derived from vinylidene chloride, 20 to 60 percent of units derived from acrylonitrile and 0-40 percent by weight of units derived from an acrylic or styrene monomer and having a specific mass less than 0.1 g/cm 3 , said microspheres being present in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 20 weight percent based on the total weight of said composition, and an oil present in an amount ranging from 1.5 to 70 weight percent based on the total weight of said composition characterized by base of spreading, fineness, softness and comfort.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The noncompacted powder composition of claim 1 wherein said hollow microspheres have a size lower than 70 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
The noncompacted powder composition of claim 1, wherein said specific mass is less than 0.05 g/cm 3 .
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
The noncompacted powder composition of claim 1, wherein said amount of oil is from 1.5 to 50 weight percent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
