Abstract:
A cosmetic composition comprising;(a) 40-98% of a multi-component base made from at least three different components, which base exhibits a weight loss not exceeding 46% in a 24 hour period in a controlled environment with minimum air flow in a humidity chamber with a temperature of 35-40 degrees C. and 80% humidity; and(b) 0.5% to 10% of a medium volatility fragrance,wherein a solubility parameter is calculated for each of (a) and (b) and the solubility parameters are matched so that the difference between (a) and (b) is less than 38% and amounts are in percent by weight based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition, wherein the multi-component base is made with at least three members of the group selected from the group consisting of diethylphthalate; isopropylmyristate; cetyl alcohol; isocetyl alcohol; isostearyl alcohol; propylene glycol; dipropylene glycol; tripropylene glycol- tetrapropylene glycol; and polypropylene glycols selected from glycols of Formula 1:H(OCH.sub.2 --CH(CH.sub.3)).sub.n --OH Formula Iwhere n is a number from 5-50,wherein the multi-component base is made with at least three components selected from the group consisting of 1-25% propylene glycol; 1-40% dipropylene glycol; 1-50% tripropylene glycol; 1-50%; 1-15% polypropylene glycol; 1-50% isopropylmyristate; 1-50% diethylphthalate; 1-30% cetyl alcohol; 1-30% isocetyl alcohol; an 1-30% isocetyl alcohol wherein the amounts are in percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition wherein the multi-component base comprises from 40-98% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
