COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it
is to be performed.

FIELDOFINVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates, in general, to the field of personal
care and cosmetic products and, particularly, to liquid cosmetic compositions for making up of skin or lips. The present disclosure further relates to a method for making up of skin or lips.
BACKGROUNDOFINVENTION
[0002] Among the various cosmetic products, lipsticks are one of the most
powerful makeup products that are perceived to offer enhanced confidence and aesthetics to the user. The compositions can be in various forms, from liquid to solid in the form of sticks or poured into pots. Traditional liquid lipstick products often require several reapplications during the day to compensate for the relatively low wear of the deposit. Besides not being long-lasting, they also tend to transfer colour, with a risk to leave marks on the glasses or cups, or even on the clothes. Hence, some users prefer lipsticks that are long-lasting, and which address the undesirable need for frequent touch-ups. These type of lipsticks, more particularly liquid compositions, usually comprises film-forming polymers as well as a significant amount of volatile oils, that improve the resistance of the film on the lips. But such long-lasting compositions have the drawback of being tacky and/or for leaving a sensation of dryness, or tightness on the lips. Consequently, such liquid compositions can be considered less comfortable than others. Certain liquid lipsticks in the market employ non-volatile oils, and emollients to compensate for the feeling of tightness and dryness and additionally hydrate the lips. However, in many cases, the deposits of the cosmetic composition leave a heavier feel, if not, in some cases, a cakey feel on the lips and the resistance of the film may often be impaired. Thus, lipstick users are on a constant search for products that provide better makeup effects on the lips, combined with a long-lasting and comfortable deposit.

[0003] Therefore, there exists a need for an effective and stable liquid
cosmetic composition with improved properties particularly, a composition that is long-lasting, and comfortable to wear.
SUMMARYOFTHEINVENTION
[0004] In one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a liquid
cosmetic composition for making up of skin or lips, the composition comprising: (a) a non-volatile hydrocarbon-based apolar oil in an amount ranging from 15% to 25% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; (b) a volatile hydrocarbon-based apolar oil in an amount ranging from 30% to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; (c) a mixture of at least one volatile silicone oil and at least one non-volatile silicone oil, wherein the volatile silicone oil is in an amount ranging from 2% to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; and the non-volatile silicone oil is in an amount ranging from 2% to 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; (d) a trimethylsiloxysilicate; and (e) a lipophilic gelling agent.
[0005] In another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a kit
comprising (a) the composition as described herein; (b) a container; and (c) an applicator.
[0006] In yet another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a

Definitions
[0009] For convenience, before further description of the present
disclosure, certain terms employed in the specification, and examples are delineated
here. These definitions should be read in light of the remainder of the disclosure
and understood by a person of skill in the art. The terms used herein have the
meanings recognized and known to those of skill in the art, however, for
convenience and completeness, particular terms and their meanings are set forth
below.
[0010] The articles “a”, “an”, “at least one” and “the” are used to refer to
one or to more than one of the grammatical objects of the article, and thus include
individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.
[0011] The terms “comprise” and “comprising” are used in the inclusive,
open sense, meaning that additional elements (or steps) may be included. It is not
intended to be construed as “consists of only” or to exclude any other elements or
steps.
[0012] The term “including” is used to mean “including but not limited to”.
“including” and “including but not limited to” are used interchangeably.
[0013] The term “INCI” is an abbreviation of International Nomenclature
of Cosmetic Ingredients, which is a system of names provided by the International
Nomenclature Committee of the Personal Care Products Council to identify
cosmetic or personal care ingredients.
[0014] The term “long-lasting”, as used herein, refers to its generally
accepted meaning in the art. Generally, it refers to the property of a composition

indicating that the composition is retained on a surface, such as lips or skin, after application, and that the color of the composition remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, for an extended period of time. Long-lasting properties may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, long-lasting property may be evaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to skin, or lips and evaluating the color and retention of the composition after a specified or extended period of time. The color of a composition may be evaluated immediately following application to skin or lips and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a pre¬determined or extended period of time. For lip compositions, “long-lasting” typically means that the composition remains on the lips for at least about 4 hours up to about 24 hours.
[0015] The term “anhydrous”, as used herein, refers to a composition
comprising less than 5% by weight of water, or even less than 2% by weight of water, or even less than 1% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition, or even is free of water.
[0016] The term “oil”, as used herein, refers to any fatty substance that is
in liquid form at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg).
[0017] The term "non-volatile oil", as used herein, refers to oil that is
capable of remaining on lips or skin, for a plurality of hours at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and/or having a non-zero vapor pressure of less than 2.66 Pa, preferably less than 0.13 Pa, at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg). In an example, the vapor pressure may be measured according to the static method or via the effusion method by isothermal thermogravimetry, depending on the vapor pressure (OECD 104 standard). The non-volatile oils may be hydrocarbon-based oils or silicone oils, referred to as non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oils or non-volatile silicone oils, respectively, in various embodiments herein.
[0018] The term "volatile oil", as used herein, refers to oil that is capable of
evaporating at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg).

More particularly, the volatile oil is a compound that vaporizes on contact with skin or lips in less than one hour at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure and/or having a non-zero vapor pressure of at least 2.66 Pa, at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg), especially having a vapor pressure ranging from 2.66 Pa to 40 000 Pa (0.02 to 300 mmHg), in particular ranging from 2.66 Pa to 13 000 Pa (0.02 to 100 mmHg) and more particularly ranging from 2.66 Pa to 1300 Pa (0.02 to 10 mmHg). The volatile oils may be hydrocarbon-based oils or silicone oils, referred to as volatile hydrocarbon-based oils or volatile silicone oils, respectively, in various embodiments herein.
[0019] The term "hydrocarbon-based oil", as used herein, refers to oil
mainly containing hydrogen and carbon atoms. The oils may optionally comprise oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and/or phosphorus atoms, for example in the form of hydroxyl or acid radicals. The hydrocarbon-based oils may be polar or apolar oils. The hydrocarbon-based oils may be volatile or non-volatile oils. The hydrocarbon-based oils are therefore distinct from silicone oils.
[0020] The term "silicone oil", as used herein, refers to oil comprising at
least one Si atom, for example having Si-O groups.
[0021] The term "colorant", as used herein, refers to its generally accepted
meaning in the art. It refers to a compound that is capable of producing a colored optical effect when it is formulated in a sufficient amount in a suitable cosmetic medium.
[0022] All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total weight of
the compositions of the present disclosure unless otherwise indicated. It has to be noted that the amounts of ingredient are expressed as the amount of active material and not of raw material. Moreover, ratios, concentrations, amounts, and other numerical data may be presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such range format is used merely for convenience and brevity and should be interpreted flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub¬ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is

explicitly recited. For example, a percentage range of about 15 % to 20 % should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited limits of about 15 % to about 20 %, but also to include sub-ranges, such as 16 % to 18 %, 17 % to 19%, and so forth, as well as individual amounts, including fractional amounts, within the specified ranges, such as 15.8 %, and 17.25 %, for example.

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

[0044] The composition, according to embodiments herein, includes a
silicone resin of MQ type, particularly trimethylsiloxysilicate.
[0045] More generally, the term "resin" is intended to mean a compound of
which the structure is three-dimensional. "Silicone resins" are also referred to as "siloxane resins". Thus, for the purposes of the present disclosure, a polydimethylsiloxane is not a silicone resin.
[0046] The nomenclature of silicone resins is known under the name
"MDTQ", the resin being described as a function of the various siloxane monomer units that it comprises, each of the letters "MDTQ" characterizing a type of unit.
[0047] The letter "M" represents the monofunctional unit of formula
R1R2R3SiO1/2, the silicon atom being bonded to only one oxygen atom in the polymer comprising this unit.
[0048] The letter "D" means a difunctional unit R1R2SiO2/2 in which the
silicon atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms.
[0049] The letter "T" represents a trifunctional unit of formula R1SiO3/2.
[0050] Such resins are described, for example, in the Encyclopedia of
Polymer Science and Engineering, vol. 15, John Wiley and Sons, New York, (1989), pp. 265-270, and US 2 676 182, US 3 627 851, US 3 772 247, US 5 248 739 or else US 5 082 706, US 5 319 040, US 5 302 685 and US 4 935 484.
[0051] In the units M, D, and T defined previously, R, namely R1 and R2,
represents a hydrocarbon-based radical (especially alkyl) containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a phenyl alkyl group or else a hydroxyl group.
[0052] Finally, the letter "Q" means a tetrafunctional unit SiO4/2 in which
the silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms, which are themselves bonded to the rest of the polymer.
[0053] Various silicone resins with different properties may be obtained
from these different units, the properties of these polymers varying as a function of

the type of monomers (or units), the nature and number of the radical R, the length of the polymer chain, the degree of branching and the size of the side chains.
[0054] Examples of silicone resins of MQ type, include alkyl siloxy
silicates of formula [(R1)3SiO1/2]x(SiO4/2)y (MQ units) in which x and y are integers ranging from 50 to 80, and such that the group R1 represents a radical as defined previously and is preferably an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a hydroxyl group, more preferably a methyl group.
[0055] The silicone resin may be used in powder form, or in a form
dissolved in a solvent. Examples of solid silicone resins of MQ type of trimethylsiloxysilicate type, include such as those sold under the reference BELSIL® TMS 803, by the company Wacker, SR 1000 by the company Momentive Performance Materials, and Silsoft™ 74 FLUID by the company Momentive Performance Materials. Examples of silicone resins conveyed in a solvent, can be cited Koboguard® MQ65TMF (mixture of trimethylsiloxysilicate and methyl trimethicone) sold by Kobo; KF-7312J (mixture in cyclopentasiloxane), KF-7312K, KF-7312L (mixtures in dimethicone), KF-7312T (mixture in trimethicone), X-21-5249 (mixture in cyclopentasiloxane), X-21-5249L (mixture in dimethicone), X-21-5250, X-21-5250L (mixture in cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone, respectively), X-21-5595, X-21-5616 (mixtures in isododecane), KF-9021, KF-9021L (mixtures in cyclopentasiloxane and in dimethicone, respectively), sold by Shin-Etsu; Silsoft 74, Silshine 151 (mixtures in isododecane) from Momentive Performance Materials; Xiameter RSN-0749 Resin, Dow Corning 749 Fluid (mixtures in cyclo pentasiloxane), Dow Corning 593 Fluid (mixture in dimethicone) from Dow Corning.
[0056] The amount of trimethylsiloxysilicate in the composition, according
to embodiments herein, may vary. The trimethylsiloxysilicate, according to embodiments herein, may be present in the composition in an amount ranging from 5% to 8 % by weight, preferably from 6 % to 7 % by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
Lipophilic gelling agent

[0057] The composition, according to embodiments herein, includes a
lipophilic gelling agent.
[0058] The lipophilic gelling agent may in particular be chosen from silica,
clays, or mixtures thereof. The lipophilic gelling agent may in particular be chosen from silica, such as hydrophobic treated pyrogenic silica and hydrophobic silica aerogel; from clays, such as hydrophobic hectorites and hydrophobic bentonites; or mixtures thereof.
[0059] In an embodiment, the lipophilic gelling agent comprises at least one
of: silica selected from pyrogenic silica and silica aerogel, or mixtures thereof; clays selected from hydrophobic hectorites and hydrophobic bentonites, or mixtures thereof. In an embodiment, the lipophilic gelling agent comprises at least one of: silica selected from pyrogenic silica including hydrophobic treated pyrogenic silica and silica aerogel including hydrophobic silica aerogel, or mixtures thereof; and clays selected from hydrophobic hectorites and hydrophobic bentonites, or mixtures thereof. In another embodiment, the lipophilic gelling agent comprises at least one selected from hydrophobic treated pyrogenic silica, hydrophobic silica aerogel, hydrophobic hectorites, hydrophobic bentonites, or mixtures thereof, wherein the lipophilic gelling agent is preferably in a range of 0.5 % to 16 % by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
Pyrogenic silica
[0060] The silica, according to embodiments herein, may be selected from
pyrogenic silica and/or silica aerogel. Suitable pyrogenic silica includes silica having a treated hydrophobic surface. It is in fact possible to chemically modify the surface of the silica, by chemical reaction generating a reduction in the number of silanol groups present on the surface of the silica. It is possible in particular to substitute silanol groups with hydrophobic groups and a hydrophobic silica is then obtained.
[0061] The hydrophobic groups can be:

- trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are obtained in particular by treating fumed silica
in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas thus treated are called “Silica
silylate” according to the CTFA (8th edition, 2000).
- dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained in
particular by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or
dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas thus treated are called “Silica dimethyl silylate”
according to the CTFA (8th edition, 2000).
[0062] Accordingly, in an embodiment, the composition comprises
hydrophobic treated pyrogenic silica.
Silica aerogels
[0063] The silica aerogels, according to embodiments herein, are porous
materials obtained by replacing (by drying) the liquid component of a silica gel with air. They are generally synthesized by a sol-gel process in a liquid medium and then usually dried by extraction of a supercritical fluid, the most commonly used being supercritical CO2. This type of drying avoids the contraction of the pores and the material. The sol-gel process and the various drying methods are described in detail in Brinker CJ., and Scherer G.W., Sol-Gel Science: New York: Academic Press, 1990.
[0064] In an embodiment, the composition comprises hydrophobic silica
aerogel. The hydrophobic silica aerogel particles usually have a specific surface area per unit mass (SM) ranging from 500 to 1500 m2/g, preferably from 600 to 1200 m2/g, more preferably from 600 to 800 m2/g and a size expressed as volume-average diameter (D[0.5]) ranging from 1 to 1500 μ m, particularly from 1 to 1000 μ m, preferably from 1 to 100 μ m.
[0065] In an embodiment, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles have a
size expressed as volume-average diameter (D[0.5]) ranging from 1 to 30 μ m, preferably from 5 to 25 µm. In a preferable embodiment, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles have a size expressed as volume-average diameter (D[0.5]) ranging from 5 to 20 µm and more preferably from 5 to 15 µm.

[0066] The specific surface per unit mass can be determined by the nitrogen
absorption method called the BET (BRUNAUER-EMMET-TELLER) method described in “The journal of the American Chemical Society”, vol. 60, page 309, February 1938 and corresponding to international standard ISO 5794/1 (appendix D). The BET specific surface corresponds to the total specific surface of the particles considered.
[0067] The sizes of the silica aerogel particles can be measured by static
light scattering using a commercial particle sizer of the MasterSizer 2000 type from Malvern. The data is processed based on Mie scattering theory. This theory, being exact for isotropic particles, makes it possible to determine in the case of non-spherical particles, an “effective” particle diameter. This theory is notably described in the work of Van de Hulst, H.C., “Light Scattering by Small Particles, ” Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York, 1957.
[0068] According to a preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic silica
aerogel particles used in the present invention have a specific surface area per unit mass (SM) ranging from 600 to 800 m2/g and a size expressed as mean diameter in volume (D[0.5]) ranging from 5 to 20 μ m and or more preferably from 5 to 15 μ m.
[0069] The term “hydrophobic silica”, as used herein, refers to any silica
whose surface is treated with silylation agents, for example with halogenated silanes such as alkylchlorosilanes, siloxanes, in particular dimethylsiloxanes such as hexamethyl disiloxane, or silazanes, so as to functionalize the OH groups with Si—Rn silyl groups, for example, trimethylsilyl groups.
[0070] Regarding the preparation of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles
surface-modified by silylation, reference may be made to document US Pat. No. 7,470,725. Preferably, hydrophobic silica aerogel particles modified at the surface with trimethylsilyl groups can be used.
[0071] The hydrophobic silica aerogels, according to embodiments herein,
include for example the aerogel marketed under the name VM-2260 (INCI name Silica silylate), by the company Dow Corning, whose particles have an average size

Waxes
[0094] By “wax”, within the meaning of the invention, refers to a lipophilic
compound which is solid at room temperature, having a melting point greater than or equal to 40°C, and less than or equal to 120°C, more particularly less than or equal to 90°C.

[0095] Within the meaning of the invention, the melting temperature (or
melting point) corresponds to the temperature of the most endothermic peak observed in thermal analysis (DSC) as described in standard ISO 11357-3; 1999.
[0096] The melting point of a solid fatty compounds can be measured using
a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), for example the calorimeter sold under the name “DSC 2000” by the company TA Instruments with the software “TA Universal Analysis”.
[0097] The measurement protocol is as follows:
A sample of 5 mg of wax is placed in a crucible and subjected to an initial temperature rise ranging from -20°C to 120°C, at a heating rate of 10°C/minute, then cooled by 120°C at -20°C at a cooling rate of 10°C/minute and finally subjected to a second temperature rise ranging from -20°C to 120°C at a heating rate of 5°C/minute. During the second rise in temperature, the melting point of the solid fatty substance is measured, corresponding to the temperature of the most endothermic peak of the melting curve observed.
[0098] More particularly, the wax can be chosen from polar waxes, in
particular alcohol waxes; esters such as waxes of animal or vegetable origin, such as beeswax, lanolin, sunflower, candelilla, carnauba, rice bran, montan, hydrogenated jojoba oil; waxes resulting from the hydrogenation of esters obtained from C6-C22 fatty alcohols of vegetable origin and vegetable oil; waxes of formula R1COOR2 in which R1 and R2 represent linear, branched or cyclic aliphatic chains whose number of atoms varies from 10 to 50, which can contain a heteroatom in particular oxygen, and whose melting temperature varies from 40 at 120°C; partial or total, preferably total, esters of a saturated C16-C30 carboxylic acid with glycerol, such as glyceryl tristearate or tribehenate, glyceryl trihydroxystearate, as well as mixtures thereof.

words made up solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms), resulting from the

transformation of petroleum, such as for example polyethylene waxes, polymethylene waxes (Synthetic Wax, Fischer-Tropsch), alone or in mixtures.
Pasty compounds
[0100] By “pasty compound”, within the meaning of the present invention,
refers to a lipophilic compound comprising, at an ambient temperature, a liquid fraction, and a solid fraction. Thus, a pasty compound may have a starting melting point below 25°C.
[0101] The melting point of the pasty compound is determined according to
the same principle as that detailed above for the waxes. In case of a pasty compound, the measurement protocol is however as follows:
[0102] A sample of 5 mg of pasty compound placed in a crucible is
subjected to a first rise in temperature ranging from -20°C to 100°C, at a heating rate of 10°C/minute, then is cooled by 100° C to -20°C at a cooling rate of 10°C/minute and finally subjected to a second temperature rise ranging from -20°C to 100°C at a heating rate of 5°C/minute. The melting point of the pasty compound is the temperature value corresponding to the apex of the peak of the curve representing the variation of the difference in power absorbed as a function of temperature.
[0103] It should be noted that the liquid fraction by weight of the pasty
compound at ambient temperature is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at ambient temperature to the enthalpy of fusion of the pasty fatty substance. The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound is the enthalpy consumed by the latter to pass from the solid state to the liquid state. The pasty compound is said to be in the solid state when all of its mass is in crystalline solid form. The pasty compound is said to be in the liquid state when all of its mass is in liquid form. The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound is the quantity of energy necessary to change the pasty compound from the solid state to the liquid state. It is expressed in J/g. The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty fatty substance is equal to the area under the curve of the thermogram obtained.

[0104] Preferably, the pasty compounds also called as pasty hydrocarbon-
based compounds are chosen from petroleum jelly; vegetable butters, such as in particular mango, shea, cupuacu, murumuru, cocoa, babassu or jojoba butters; totally or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as for example hydrogenated soybean oil, hydrogenated copra oil, hydrogenated rapeseed oil, mixtures of hydrogenated vegetable oils such as products with the INCI name hydrogenated vegetable oil, partially hydrogenated olive oil; esters of hydrogenated castor oil and C16-C22 fatty acids, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2; products with the INCI name hydrogenated coco-glycerides; dilinoleic alcohol and/or dilinoleic acid dimer esters, for example the products with the following INCI names: bis-behenyl/ isostearyl/ phytosteryl dimer dilinoleyl dimer dilinoleate, phytosteryl/ isostearyl/ cetyl/stearyl/behenyl dimer dilinoleate), hydrogenated castor oil dimer dilinoleate, or mixtures thereof.

Measurement and Evaluation Methods

[0139] Each of the compositions C (1) to C (7) as prepared in the ensuing
Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated for their sensorial aspects and stability characteristics.
Evaluation of stability
[0140] The stability of the compositions was evaluated by placing the
compositions obtained for 2 weeks, at 50°C. It can also be evaluated by placing the compositions obtained for 2 months at 25°C, 45°C and 4°C. The observation of phase separation and any change in appearance was verified.
Evaluation of transfer
[0141] The transfer was evaluated by a sensory test carried out under the
following conditions. The composition was applied to the lips and left to dry at room temperature (25°C) for 2 minutes. The transfer was then evaluated by a kiss test on a white support (such as white cup or white paper tissue ) and observing the color left on the support.
Measurement of viscosity
[0142] The viscosity of the compositions was measured using a rheometer
of the Rheomat RM 200 type from Lamy Rheology with spindle 3 at a speed of 200 rpm, at room temperature (25°C) and under atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg). The measurement being carried out after 10 minutes of rotation of the spindle within the composition, at a shear rate of 200 revolutions/min (rpm).
Example 1
Working Examples
[0143] Liquid cosmetic compositions in accordance with the present
disclosure provided in Table 1 were prepared as described below.
Preparation of liquid cosmetic composition:
[0144] Prior to the preparation of the compositions, the phase A ingredients
were subjected to a grinding process.

[0145] The ingredients of phase A were mixed with a part of phase B1
ingredient, and phase B2 ingredients by passing three times through a triple roll mill at room temperature to obtain the first mixture. In a separate vessel, ingredients of phase C were mixed with the remaining part of phase B1 ingredient to obtain the second mixture. Phase D ingredients and the first mixture were sequentially added to the second mixture under constant stirring. The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes to obtain a homogenized, liquid cosmetic composition.
[0146] The compositions are prepared at room temperature (25°C).

[0147] As observed from the Table 1 above, all the compositions were stable
according to the protocols mentioned above, and was found to be easy to apply with
good gliding properties.
[0148] The viscosities of each of these compositions were found to be in the range
0.6 to 1.3 Pa.s.
[0149] The deposits of the composition were precise and were found not to migrate
in the fine lines around lips.
[0150] The deposits were also observed to be matt, comfortable, not tacky, not
drying the lips, with good wear properties and very little transfer.

Results
[0152] The composition C (6) was not stable after 2 weeks at 50°C and
released oil. Moreover, the resulting deposit of the composition was not long
lasting.
[0153] The composition C (7) was observed to be in the form of a thick
cream. The composition was less easy to apply and was found to be rapidly drying.
The resulting deposit of the composition left a drying sensation on the lips and was
uncomfortable.
[0154] Accordingly, it is observed that the comparative examples (Table 2)
achieved unsatisfactory results, had stability issues which may be attributed
to deviation in the use of ingredients and weight percentages of the ingredients such
as the volatile and non-volatile silicone oils. Therefore it is essential to maintain the
ingredients as disclosed herein, within desired ranges to obtain a stable liquid
cosmetic composition with desired cosmetic properties.
