Abstract
Abstract A mascara composition which comprises a mixture of: (a) pseudo-latex particles, having an average diameter ranging from 10 to 300 nm, of a water-insoluble filmogen polymer derived form cellulose selected from the group consisting of cellulose ethers, non-ionic cellulose esters and anionic cellulose esters having carboxylic acid functions, the said carboxylic acid functions being neutralized to a neutralization amount between 10 and 80 percent by means of a nonvolatile basic agent, and (b) at least one wax having a melting point between 60 DEG C. and 110 DEG C.
