Abstract:
A film forming foundation emulsion composition comprising an internal aqueous phase and an external oil phase, wherein the aqueous internal phase comprises:a. from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of said composition, of water soluble or dispersible film forming polymer capable of forming a thin elastomeric film that physically adheres or interacts with the skin and is removable with water, said film forming polymer being selected from the group consisting of sulfopolyester resins, water dispersible, non-crosslinked acrylic resins, polyvinylacetate/polyvinyl alcohol resins, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), PVP/VA copolymers and mixtures of said film forming polymers; andb. from about 0.5% to about 35% by weight of said composition of one or more slow evaporating, water miscible or dispersible plasticizing solvent(s) selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol phenyl ether, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, glycerol, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, polyethylene glycol 4, polyethylene glycol 8, propylene carbonate, and dimethyl isosorbide,wherein the emulsion is a water-in-oil emulsion.
