  1. 1
    CA 02269207 2006-07-13 THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:1. Compositions for improving the performance of transfer resistant, flexible film-forming cosmetic products having a solubility parameter less than or equal to 8.5 (calories/cm^)1^ on a Hildebrand scale, wherein the composition comprises oils having a C log P value of 13 or greater selected from the group consisting of polyol fatty acid polyester, triglycerides, fluid synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof, and from 0.5% to 35.0% of a solid former selected from the group consisting of polyol fatty acid polyesters, waxes, solid oils and mixtures thereof.
  2. 4
    The compositions according to claims 1 through 3 wherein the wax is selected from the group consisting of beeswax, lanolin wax, shellac wax, carnauba, candelilla, bayberry, ozokerite, ceresin, paraffin, microcrystalline waxes, polyethylene, polyethylene homopolymers, C24-45 alkyl methicones and mixtures thereof.
  3. 8
    Compositions according to claims 1 through 7 wherein the composition comprises at least 55% oil selected from the group consisting of polyol fatty acid polyesters, triglycerides, synthetic polymer oils, and mixtures thereof.
  4. 13
    Compositions according to claims 1 through 8, wherein the oils are triglycerides.
  5. 16
    A method for improving the performance of long-wearing cosmetic products wherein the method comprises the steps of:(a) applying a transfer resistant, flexible film-forming cosmetic product wherein said cosmetic product has a solubility parameter less than or equal to 8.5 (calories/cm^)1/2 on a Hildebrand scale;(b) allowing said cosmetic product to dry;and (c) applying over said cosmetic product a composition comprising oils having a C log P value of no less than 13, said oils selected from the group consisting of polyol fatty acid polyester, triglycerides, fluid synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof, and a solid former.
