CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/368,491, filed Mar. 28, 2002. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to emulsion compositions which can uniformly deposit insoluble solid particles upon a substrate. Particularly, the present invention relates to pigmented emulsion cosmetic compositions which provide a natural appearance to the skin upon application. More particularly, these cosmetic compositions are formulated such that agglomeration of the pigment in the product and upon application to the skin is minimized. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Foundation products are typically applied to the entire face to mask perceived imperfections in skin texture (e.g., fine lines and wrinkles), pigmentation or vascularization. It is desirable for foundations to mask these imperfections and yet still allow for a natural appearance of the skin. In other words, consumers want good coverage from a foundation product, but do not want the appearance of too much make-up, e.g., a cakey appearance. 
     Pigmented oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsion foundations are a popular type of foundation product available on the market today. These products are relatively inexpensive and are easy to apply to the skin. Moreover, the pigmented oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion foundations lend themselves to variation in pigment type and level to give different degrees of color coverage and albedo of the face. 
     It is believed, however, that, in order to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to avoid a cakey appearance when utilizing a foundation product, it is important to deposit the pigment from the foundation product uniformly on the skin. Unfortunately, the tendency of the pigment is to agglomerate (i.e., flocculate) in the foundation product and, upon application of the foundation product to the skin, to either collect in the fine lines and wrinkles or agglomerate on the skin, thereby accentuating, rather than minimizing, the appearance of the fine lines or wrinkles, and further delivering a cakey, unnatural appearance to the skin. 
     Preventing agglomeration or flocculation of the pigment both in a foundation product and upon its application to the skin can be very difficult. One way to improve the stability of the pigments in foundation products is to “coat” the pigment, e.g., by adsorbing certain materials onto the surface of the pigment, wet ball milling or plasma treatment. See, e.g., Driscoll, P., “Treated Pigments in Decorative Cosmetics”,  Cosmetics and Toiletries , Vol. 104 (July 1989), pp 43-45. For example, foundation and other personal care products containing hydrophobically- or hydrophilically-coated pigments are known in the art. (See, for example, Lee, J. et al., “Preparation of Ultra Fine Fe 3 O 4  Particles by Precipitation in the Presence of PVA at High pH”,  J. Colloid Interface Sci.,  177, p. 490 (1996) and European Patent Application 504,066, published Mar. 13, 1992). There is, however, an ongoing need for cosmetic foundations that exhibit lesser agglomeration of pigments in the product itself and when applied to skin. More importantly, there is a need to provide products that meet consumer needs with respect to the natural appearance of the skin when the product is applied. 
     It has now surprisingly been found that foundation products, wherein agglomeration of the pigment contained therein is minimized, can be formulated using the technology hereinafter described. Moreover, when the foundation products of the present invention are applied to the skin, the pigment remains essentially unagglomerated and is therefore capable of being uniformly deposited on the skin. Accordingly, good coverage of the skin and a natural appearance of the skin is provided. This is a surprising development, given that the use of oppositely charged particles in cosmetic formulations is typically avoided due to interactions which create negative effects. 
     It has also now been surprisingly found that products useful in fabric care products, home care products, diapers, incontinence articles, feminine care products, pharmaceuticals, oral care products, antiperspirants, deodorants, personal cleansing products, skin care products and hair care products, wherein agglomeration of the composition contained therein is minimized, can be formulated using the technology hereinafter described. Moreover, since the claimed composition remains essentially unagglomerated, it can also be utilized in the above disclosed consumer fields deposited on a substrate. Accordingly, good coverage of the substrate with the uniformly dispersed composition allows for enhanced improvements in the care of fabrics, skin, hair, and teeth. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a particle stabilizing composition comprising:
         a) an emulsion, comprising from about 1% to about 99%, by weight of the emulsion, of an internal phase and from about 1% to about 99%, by weight of the emulsion, of an external phase;   b) a charged species that is present in the emulsion; and   c) charged insoluble solid particles which are dispersed in said emulsion;   wherein the charged species possesses a charge which is opposed to that of the charged insoluble solid particles and wherein essentially all of the charged species and charged insoluble solid particles accumulate at the interface of the emulsion and wherein Brownian motion is not exhibited by the charged insoluble solid particles.       

     In addition to the charged species and particles within the present invention, the composition may also comprise additional charged or even uncharged particulate material dispersed in the emulsion. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
     The present invention relates to compositions, particularly cosmetic compositions which provide a natural appearance to the substrate to which it is applied (e.g., hair, skin, and/or nails), and especially foundation compositions. In particular, the cosmetic compositions of the present invention are formulated such that agglomeration of an insoluble solid particle in the product and on the skin is minimized. In cosmetic compositions, the insoluble solid particle of the present invention may be a pigment. Using the present invention in foundations, the pigment has a significantly reduced tendency to collect in the fine lines or wrinkles (or otherwise agglomerate on the skin), a cakey appearance is avoided and the skin has a natural appearance. Without being bound or limited by theory, it is believed that as a result of minimizing agglomeration of the pigment, the pigment is uniformly distributed throughout the product and that, upon application to the skin, the pigment in the composition is uniformly deposited on the skin as perceived by the eye. In any event, the distribution of the pigment and/or its appearance on the skin becomes substantially independent of skin topography. 
     As used herein, the term “cosmetic compositions” refers to compositions for application to the hair, nails and/or skin, especially the face, which contain at least about 0.01% and up to about 50% of pigment as hereinafter defined. Cosmetic compositions include, but are not limited to, foundations, blush, mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, nail polish and tinted moisturizers. The invention described herein is particularly suited for foundation compositions. As used herein, the term “foundation” refers to a liquid, solid or semi-solid facial skin cosmetic composition which includes, but is not limited to, lotions, creams, gels, serums, compacts, sticks and pastes all of which may or may not be applied using an applicator, substrate, sponge, a combination thereof or a similar means or some type of mechanical delivery such as air brush, electrostatic spray, a combination thereof or a similar means. 
     The benefits of the present invention are most apparent for liquid foundations and solid compact emulsion foundations. As used herein, “liquid foundations” refers to liquid or cream type foundation products which may range from thin liquids which are pourable (i.e., from a bottle) to viscous gels or creams which are often packaged in jars, tubes or pump-type dispensers. Liquid foundations typically have viscosities in the ranges of from about 10 to about 10,000 centipoise measured at a shear rate of 100 1/s. Viscosity can be measured using a typical rotational viscometer such as a Haake RS100 with 35/1 degree cone and plate geometry or the equivalent thereof. The viscosity is determined on the composition after the composition has been allowed to stabilize following its preparation, generally at least 24 hours under the conditions of 25° C.±1° C. and an ambient pressure and is measured with the composition at a temperature of 25° C.±1° C., after 30 seconds rotation. Liquid foundations are typically applied to the skin by finger. 
     As used herein, “solid compact emulsion foundations” means foundations compositions which are made from an emulsion which is gelled to a solid or semi-solid state, for example, by a solid wax-like network, liquid crystals, polymers, surfactant/polymer/protein mixtures, etc. Due to their solid or semi-solid consistency, solid emulsions are typically characterized by their hardness, which can be measured by their resistance to penetration by a probe or needle which is dropped or pushed into the solidfied composition. Hardness can be measured using typically penetrometers such as a Voland-Stevens LFRA Texture Analyzer available from Texture Technologies Corp. with Stevens probe #TA-PG (5 mm diameter Cylinder) or equivalent thereof. Solid emulsion foundations typically have a hardness in the range of 30-500 grams force as measured as the minimum force required to push a cylinder of 5 mm diameter to a depth of 3 mm into the composition at a speed of 0.2 mm/second. Hardness is determined after the composition has been allowed to stabilize following its preparation, generally at least 24 hours under the conditions of 25° C.±1° C. and ambient pressure and is measured with the composition at a temperature of 25° C.±1° C. Solid emulsion foundations include for example compacts and sticks, and are typically packaged in a compact or plastic cylinder and are typically applied to the skin by finger or sponge applicator. Typically, the foundations are used over a large area of skin, such as the face and neck. 
     As used herein, an “emulsion composition” means a composition comprising at least two distinct phases known as the internal phase and the external phase. 
     As used herein, the term “internal phase” of the emulsion composition is the phase wherein the material or materials of said phase are dispersed as small particles within another distinct phase of the emulsion composition. 
     As used herein, the term “external phase” of the emulsion composition is the phase wherein the internal phase is dispersed within. 
     Preferred compositions of the present invention are formulated such that the aqueous phase of the composition (whether as the internal phase or as the external phase) has a pH ranging from about 5 to about 10, more preferably from about 6 to about 8, most preferably from about 6.5 to about 7.5, although the benefits of the invention (natural appearance cosmetics) can be achieved at pHs as low as 2. The cosmetic compositions herein can be applied by any conventional means including, for example, with the fingers, with an applicator such as a brush or a sponge, or via aerolization, including, for example, airbrush or electrostatic spray devices. 
     The compositions of the present invention, including the materials contained therein and processes for making them, are described in detail as follows. 
     I. Materials 
     The compositions of the present invention are comprise the following materials: 
     A. The Emulsion 
     The compositions of the present invention comprise an emulsion, wherein the internal phase can be a liquid, gas, solid, liquid crystal, gel, or combinations thereof. In preferred embodiments, the emulsion is selected from the group consisting of water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-silicone, silicone-in-water, water-in-silicone elastomer emulsions, silicone elastomer-in-water emulsions and combinations thereof. Preferably an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion is used. More preferably, compositions of the present invention comprise water-in-oil emulsions. When the compositions of the present invention are used as cosmetic products, the compositions typically comprise from about 50% to about 99.9%, preferably from about 70% to about 95%, more preferably from about 80% to about 90%, of an emulsion. Solid emulsion compact foundation compositions of the present invention typically comprise from about 50% to about 99.9%, preferably from about 60% to about 99.9%, more preferably from about 70% to about 99.9%, by weight of the composition, of an emulsion. Liquid foundation compositions typically comprise from about 80% to about 99.9%, by weight of the composition, of an emulsion. 
     The emulsion may also contain an anti-foaming agent to minimize foaming upon application to a substrate. Anti-foaming agents include high molecular weight silicones and other materials well known in the art for such use. 
     Suitable emulsions may have a wide range of viscosities, depending on the desired product form. Exemplary low viscosity emulsions, which are preferred, have a viscosity of about 50 centistokes or less, more preferably about 10 centistokes or less, and most perferably from about 5 centistokes or less. 
     The emulsion comprises an internal (i.e., dispersed) phase and an external phase. When water is the internal phase (i.e., the aqueous phase of water-in-oil or water-in-silicone emulsion), the emulsion typically comprises from about 1% to about 99%, preferably from about 15% to about 90%, more preferably from about 40% to about 85%, by weight of the emulsion. When water is the external phase, the emulsion typically comprises from about 1% to about 99%, preferably from about 10% to about 85%, more preferably from about 15% to about 60%, by weight of the emulsion. Highly concentrated emulsions wherein the internal phase comprises a high proportion of the emulsion and wherein the proportion of the external phase is minimized, are very stable and are, therefore, preferred herein. 
     The internal phase is typically in the form of droplets which typically range in size from about 0.15 to about 40 microns in diameter, preferably from about 0.20 to about 30 microns and most preferably from about 0.25 to about 20 microns. The particle size of the droplets comprising the internal phase of the emulsion can be determined as described in the “Analytical Methods” section hereinafter.

Other examples of suitable particles for use herein are marketed under the trademarks DUALITE® and MICROPEARL™ series of microspheres from Pierce &amp; Stevens Corporation. Particularly preferred hollow particles are 091 DE and 551DE 50. The hollow particles of the present invention exist in either dry or hydrated state.

     Hollow particles that are useful in the invention can be prepared, for example, via the processes described in EP-56,219, EP-348,372, EP-486,080, EP-320,473, EP-112,807 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,615,972, the full disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     Alternatively, the wall of the hollow particles useful in the present invention may be formed from an inorganic material. The inorganic material may be a silica, a soda-lime-borosilicate glass, a silica-alumina ceramic, or an alkali alumino silicate ceramic. Non-limiting examples of commercially available suitable low density, inorganic particles are H50/10,000 EPX (particle size range approximately 20-60 μm), S38 (particle size range approximately 15-65 μm), W-210 (particle size range approximately 1-12 μm), W-410 (particle size range approximately 1-24 μm), W-610 (particle size range approximately 1-40 μm), G-200 (particle size range approximately 1-12 μm), G-400 (particle size range approximately 1-24 μm), G-600 (particle size range approximately 1-40 μm), all of which are marketed under the trademarks 3M™ Scotchlite™ Glass Bubbles, 3M™ Zeeospheres™ ceramic microspheres, and 3M™ Z-Light Spheres™ Ceramic Microspheres. Also useful are Silica shells (average particle size 3 μm) available from KOBO Products and LUXSIL™ (3-13 μm mean diameter) available from PQ Corporation. 
     Preferably, the wall of the hollow particles useful in the invention are flexible. “Flexible”, as used herein, means that the hollow particles are easy to compress. When pressure is reduced the hollow particles regain their original volume. The flexible hollow particles could alter their shape under an applied stress, or thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature change. Thus, the particles could expand upon heating. 
     The particles of the invention may be permeable or non-permeable. “Permeable”, as used herein, means that they permit a liquid or gas to pass through them under given conditions. Preferably, a majority of the particles of the present invention will maintain their structural integrity during normal use of the composition. More preferably, substantially all of the particles maintain their structural integrity during normal use of the composition. 
     Prefered particles will also have physical properties which are not significantly affected by typical processing of the composition. Preferably, particles having melting points greater than about 70° C. are used. Still more preferably, particles having a melting point greater than 80° C. are used and most preferrably particles having melting point of greater than about 95° C. are used. As used herein, melting point would refer to the temperature at which the particle transitions to a liquid or fluid state or undergoes significant deformation or physical property changes. In addition, many of the particles of present invention are cross-linked or have a cross-linked surface membrane. These particles do not exhibit a distinct melting point. Cross-linked particles are also useful as long as they are stable under the processing and storage conditions used in the making of the present compositions. 
     Because of the interaction between the oppositely charged species present in the emulsion and the insoluble solid particles, essentially none of the charged particles adsorbed at the interface of the internal phase and the external phase are subject to Brownian motion. Thus, the charged particles remain dispersed and are prevented from re-agglomerating in the composition. When the composition is applied to the substrate, the charged insoluble solid particles stay dispersed on the substrate. The term “essentially none” as used herein means less than about 30%, preferably less than about 10%, more preferably less than about 5%. 
     Brownian motion can be observed by transmitted light microscopy according to the method set forth hereinafter in the analytical methods section. 
     In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, essentially all of the charged species and charged particles accumulate at the interface between the internal phase and the external phase of the emulsion. As used herein, the term “essentially all” means that at least about 70%, preferably at least about 90%, more preferably at least about 95% of the charged pigment particles are accumulated at the interface of the internal phase and the external phase of the emulsion. The accumulation of insoluble solid particles at the interface between the internal phase and the external phase of the emulsion can be observed by light and electron microscopy using the method set forth hereinafter in the Analytical Methods section. 
     1. Charged Pigment Particles 
     The charged insoluble solid particles of the present invention may comprise charged pigment particles which may be organic, inorganic, or a mixture thereof. As used herein, the term “pigment” means an insoluble solid particulate material that reflects light of certain wavelengths while absorbing light of other wavelengths, including luminescent solids. Suitable charged pigment particles include organic pigments which are generally various aromatic types including azo, indigoid, triphenylmethane, anthraquinone, and xanthine dyes which are designated as D&amp;C and FD&amp;C blues, browns, greens, oranges, reds, yellows, etc. Organic pigments generally consist of insoluble metallic salts of certified color additives, referred to as the Lakes. Inorganic pigments include iron oxides, titanium dioxide, ultramarine and chromium or chromium hydroxide colors, and mixtures thereof. Useful pigments include, but are not limited to, those which are extended onto inert mineral (e.g., talc, calcium carbonate, clay), or treated with silicone or other coatings (e.g., to prevent pigment particles from re-agglomerating or to change the polarity (or hydrophobicity) of the pigment. 
     Pigments are used to impart opacity and/or color to the compositions herein. Any pigment that is generally recognized as safe (such as those listed in C.T.F.A. Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook, 3rd Ed., Cosmetic and Fragrance Association, Inc., Washington D.C. (1982), herein incorporated by reference) can be employed in the compositions herein. Useful pigments include body pigments, inorganic white pigments, inorganic colored pigments, and pearling agents. Also useful herein are pigment and/or dye encapsulates such as nanocolorants and multi-layer interference pigments, such as Sicopearls, both from BASF. Specific examples of suitable pigments include multi-layered effects pigments, lakes, toners, mica, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium silicate, aluminum magnesium silicate, silica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, black iron oxide, ultramarine, nylon powder, polyethylene powder, methacrylate powder, polystyrene powder, silk powder, crystalline cellulose, starch, titanated mica, iron oxide titanated mica, and bismuth oxychloride. These pigments and powders can be used independently or in combination. Titanium oxide, iron oxides, lakes, toners and mixtures thereof are especially preferred pigments for use herein. 
     The pigments are used in a concentration sufficient to provide a pleasing color to the composition in the container in which the cosmetic is sold and to confer the desired coverage and color to the skin when applied. Determination of the specific levels and types of pigment is within the skill of the artisan. The pigments can be used as treated particles or as the raw pigments themselves. 
     In order to provide a natural appearance when applied to the skin, the compositions of the present invention suitable for cosmetics will usually contain from about 0.01% to about 50%, preferably from about 1% to about 30%, most preferably from about 5% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of charged pigment particles. 
     The charged pigment particles of the present invention have a primary particle size ranging from about 0.01 μm-200 μm, preferably from about 0.1 μm-100 μm, and more preferably from about 0.05 μm-90 μm. Primary particle size of the charged pigment particles can be determined by using the ASTM Designation E-20-85 “Standard Practice for Particle Size Analysis of Particulate Substances in the Range of 0.2 to 75 Micrometers by Optical Microscopy”, ASTM Volume 14.02, 1993. 
     The relative size of the emulsion droplet to that of the charged pigment particles is unimportant so long as the charged pigment particle is not larger than the emulsion droplet. In fact, the benefits of the invention can be achieved even when the emulsion droplets and charged pigment particles form “doublets”, meaning that the emulsion droplet and the charged pigment particle are of the same approximate relative size. The preferred size ratio of emulsion droplet to charged pigment particle ranges from about 1:1 to about 50:1, preferably from about 3:1 to about 30:1, most preferably from about 5:1 to about 15:1. 
     As herein before described, the charged pigment particles utilized in the present invention have a charge opposite to the charge of the charged species present in the emulsion. The charge of the pigment particles can be imparted by any conventional means. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pigment particles contain an ionic polymer or ionic surfactant to increase or impart a charge to the pigment particles. This embodiment of the present invention is preferred not only from the standpoint of providing the most uniform coverage of the pigment on the skin, but also from the standpoint of preventing separation or “streaking” of blends of pigments in the product and on the skin. In this embodiment of the invention, the pigment particle contains an amount of ionic polymer sufficient to cover the surface of the particle without excess in bulk. 
     Suitable cationic polymers and anionic polymers for use herein are described herein before in section (B) entitled “The Charged Species”. 
     The charged pigment materials are available in essentially neat, powdered form, or predispersed in various types of carriers, including but not limited to water, organic hydrophilic diluents such as lower monovalent alcohols (e.g., C 1 -C 4 ) and low molecular weight glycols and polyols, including propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol (e.g., molecular weight 200-600 g/mole), polypropylene glycol (e.g., molecular weight 425-2025 g/mole), glycerol, butylene glycol, 1,2,4-butanetriol, sorbitol esters, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, ethanol, isopropanol, sorbitol esters, butanediol, ether propanol, ethoxylated ethers, propoxylated ethers and combinations thereof. Preferably, the charged pigment materials are predispersed in water, glycerin, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, and mixtures thereof. Examples of charged particulate materials include predispersions of ammonium polyacrylate treated TiO 2 , butylene glycol, water, and ammonium zirconium carbonate, predispersions of chitosan (or a chitosan derivative) treated TiO 2  and butylene glycol, and predispersions of ammonium polyacrylate treated TiO 2 , water, glycerin, and ammonium zirconium carbonate. 
     D. Optional Ingredients 
     The compositions herein may contain a wide variety of optional ingredients that perform one or more functions useful in products of the type described herein. Such optional ingredients may be found in either the internal phase or the external phase (or any other phase) of the compositions herein. The  CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook , Second Edition (1992) describes a wide variety of nonlimiting cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients commonly used in the skin care industry, which are suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention. Examples of these ingredient classes include: abrasives, absorbents, aesthetic components such as fragrances, pigments, colorings/colorants, essential oils, skin sensates, astringents, etc.), anti-acne agents, anti-caking agents, antifoaming agents, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, binders, biological additives, buffering agents, bulking agents, chelating agents, chemical additives, colorants, cosmetic astringents, cosmetic biocides, denaturants, drug astringents, external analgesics, enzymes, emulsifiers, film formers or materials, e.g., polymers, for aiding the film-forming properties and substantivity of the composition, opacifying agents, other pigments, pH adjusters, propellants, proteins, reducing agents, sequestrants, skin bleaching and lightening agents, skin-conditioning agents (e.g., humectants, including miscellaneous and occlusive), skin soothing and/or healing agents), skin treating agents, structuring agents, organic and inorganic sunscreen agents, thickeners, vitamins and derivatives thereof. 
     Nonlimiting examples of optional components include the following: 
     1. Emulsifiers 
     The emulsion compositions of the present invention preferably comprise from about 0.1% to about 25%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 10%, and most preferably from about 0.5% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of an emulsifier to help disperse and suspend the internal phase within the external phase. Emulsifiers having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value (HLB) ranging from about 7 to about 16 are suitable for use in the oil-in-water emulsion compositions described herein. Emulsifiers having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value (HLB) ranging from about 1 to about 8 are suitable for use in the water-in-oil emulsion compositions described herein. (See, Wilkinson and Moore,  Harry&#39;s Cosmeticology,  7th Ed. 1982, p. 738, and Schick and Fowkes, Surfactant Science Series, Vol. 2 , Solvent Properties of Surfactant Solutions , p 607.) 
     Emulsifiers for use herein can be selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric, and mixtures thereof. Examples of suitable emulsifiers are set forth in the C.T.F.A. Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook, 3rd Ed., Cosmetic and Fragrance Assn., Inc., Washington D.C. (1982) pp. 587-592; Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th Ed. 1975, pp. 335-337; and Cosmetic Bench Reference, Cosmetics &amp; Toiletries, pp. 1.22-1.25 (1996). 
     Polymeric ionic surfactants are especially preferred for use as the emulsifier in the oil-in-water emulsion compositions of the present invention. As used herein, the term “polymeric ionic surfactant” refers to charged amphiphilic polymers (i.e., cationic, anionic or amphoteric) which can lower surface tension. It has been found that when polymeric ionic surfactants are employed as the emulsifier in the oil-in-water emulsion compositions herein, that non-agglomeration of the particles in the product and on the substrate is maximized. This occurs when polymeric ionic surfactants are employed as the emulsifier in the oil-in-water emulsions, they coat the emulsion droplet in a manner such that both steric and electrostatic forces work to cause the particles to accumulate at the interface of the internal phase and the external phase of the emulsion. By contrast, when low molecular weight ionic surfactants are employed as the emulsifier in the oil-in-water emulsion compositions herein, they coat the emulsion droplet in a manner such that only electrostatic forces work to cause the particles to accumulate at the interface of the internal phase and the external phase of the emulsion. Likewise, when nonionic surfactants are employed, no electrostatic forces of the surfactant itself promote the accumulation of the particles at the interface of the internal phase and the external phase of the emulsion. 
     Cationic surfactants can desirably be employed as emulsifiers in the compositions herein. Useful cationic surfactants include, but are not limited to, alkylamines, alkyl imidazolines, ethoxylated amines, quaternary alkylbenzyldimethylammonium salts, quaternary alkyl betaines, quaternary heterocyclic ammonium salts, quaternary tetraalkylammonium salts and mixtures thereof. 
     Specific cationic surfactants useful herein include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,151,209, to McCall et al., issued Sep. 29, 1992; U.S. Pat. No. 5,151,210, to Steuri et al., issued Sep. 29, 1992; U.S. Pat. No. 5,120,532, to Wells et al., issued Jun. 9, 1992; U.S. Pat. No. 4,387,090, to Bolich, issued Jun. 7, 1983; U.S. Pat. No. 3,155,591, Hilfer, issued Nov. 3, 1964; U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678, to Laughlin et al., issued Dec. 30, 1975; U.S. Pat. No. 3,959,461, to Bailey et al., issued May 25, 1976 ; McCutcheon&#39;s, Detergents  &amp;  Emulsifiers , (North American edition 1979) M.C. Publishing Co.; and Schwartz, et al.,  Surface Active Agents, Their Chemistry and Technology , New York: Interscience Publishers, 1949. 
     Anionic surfactants can also be used as emulsifiers in the compositions herein. Useful anionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, acylamino acids and their salts, including acylglutamates, acyl peptides, sarcosinates and taurates, carboxylic acids and their salts, including alkanoic acid and alkanoates, ester carboxylic acids and ether carboxylic acids, phosphoric acid esters and their salts, including acyl isethionates, alkylaryl sulfonates, and sulfosuccinates, and sulfuric acid esters, including alkyl ether sulfates and alkyl sulfates. 
     Specific anionic surfactants useful herein include those set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678, to Laughlin et al., issued Dec. 30, 1975. 
     Amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants are also useful herein. Examples of amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants which can be used in the compositions of the present invention are those which are broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in which the aliphatic radical can be straight or branched chain and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms (preferably C 8 -C 18 ) and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Examples are alkyl imino acetates, and iminodialkanoates and aminoalkanoates, imidazolinium and ammonium derivatives. Other suitable amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants are those selected from the group consisting of betaines, sultaines, hydroxysultaines, alkyl sarcosinates (e.g., C 12 -C 30 ), and alkanoyl sarcosinates. 
     Nonionic surfactants can also be used in the compositions herein. Among the nonionic surfactants that are useful herein are those that can be broadly defined as condensation products of long chain alcohols, e.g. C8-30 alcohols, with sugar or starch polymers, i.e., glycosides. These compounds can be represented by the formula (S) n —O—R wherein S is a sugar moiety such as glucose, fructose, mannose, and galactose; n is an integer of from about 1 to about 1000, and R is a C8-30 alkyl group.

These materials have the general formula RCO(X) n OH wherein R is a C10-30 alkyl group, X is —OCH 2 CH 2 — (i.e. derived from ethylene glycol or oxide) or —OCH 2 CHCH 3 — (i.e. derived from propylene glycol or oxide), and n is an integer from about 6 to about 200. Other nonionic surfactants are the condensation products of alkylene oxides with 2 moles of fatty acids (i.e. alkylene oxide diesters of fatty acids). These materials have the general formula RCO(X) n OOCR wherein R is a C10-30 alkyl group, X is —OCH 2 CH 2 — (i.e. derived from ethylene glycol or oxide) or —OCH 2 CHCH 3 — (i.e. derived from propylene glycol or oxide), and n is an integer from about 6 to about 100.

     Still other useful nonionic surfactants include polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants corresponding to the structural formula: 
                                
wherein: R 1  is H, C 1 -C 4  alkyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-hydroxy-propyl, preferably C 1 -C 4  alkyl, more preferably methyl or ethyl, most preferably methyl; R 2  is C 5 -C 31  alkyl or alkenyl, preferably C 7 -C 19  alkyl or alkenyl, more preferably C 9 -C 17  alkyl or alkenyl, most preferably C 11 -C 15  alkyl or alkenyl; and Z is a polhydroxyhydrocarbyl moiety having a linear hydrocarbyl chain with a least 3 hydroxyls directly connected to the chain, or an alkoxylated derivative (preferably ethoxylated or propoxylated) thereof.

II. Process for Preparing Compositions Herein
       

     The compositions of the present invention can be generally prepared by conventional methods such as are known in the art of making cosmetic compositions. Such methods typically involve mixing of the ingredients in one or more steps to a relatively uniform state, with or without heating, cooling, application of vacuum, and the like. 
     The charged species can be incorporated into the composition by any conventional means. One or more of the components described herein before can be mixed together with the charged insoluble solid particles via conventional methods in any sequence. Typically, the charged or uncharged particles are dispersed in the water phase. To induce a charge on particles, one typically disperses the particles in a polar solvent. The surface charge of the particles can be adjusted by pH or by the addition of a charged species that irreversibly adsorbs at the solvent/particle interface. The dispersion is milled or mixed at high shear until the desired particle size is achieved. See e.g., Everett, D. H.,  Basic Principles of Colloid Science , Royal Society of Chemistry, Picadilly London, 1988; Lieberman, Herbert A., Rieger, Martin M., and Banker, Gilbert S., Eds.,  Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems , Vol. 1, 2 nd  Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1996 (pp 35-43). The emulsion is formed by slow addition of the internal phase to the external phase with high shear mechanical mixing. The charged species, polyanion, polycation or ionic surfactant, is typically added after the emulsion is formed or incorporated into the oil phase and added during emulsification. Both processes achieve the desired result. Although these are the preferred methods, one is not limited to these processes for incorporating the charged species into the composition in order to achieve the desired result. 
     III. Methods for Maximizing Coverage While Providing a Natural Appearance to the Skin 
     The compositions of the present invention are useful for providing good coverage to the skin (e.g., minimizing fine lines and wrinkles and covering blemishes or irregularities in pigmentation), while at the same time providing a natural appearance to the skin (avoiding a cakey appearance). 
     A wide range of quantities of the compositions of the present invention can be applied to the skin to achieve these advantages. Quantities of the present compositions which are frequently applied per application are, in mg composition/cm 2  skin, from about 0.5 to about 3 mg/cm 2 . Typically applications would be on the order of about once per day. 
     ANALYTICAL METHODS 
     A. Observation of Particles Accumulated at the Interface of the Internal Phase and the External Phase of the Emulsion 
     1. Light Microscopy Technique 
     Equipment/Materials 
     
         
         Nikon Microphot-SA, equipped with Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) filters 
         Nikon PLAN 100/1.25 oil DIC objective 
         Eyepiece-CFUWIN 10×/26.5 
         Sony 3CCD video camera 
         Sony monitor 
         Sony Color Video Printer Mavigraph UP525OMD 
         Corning No. 1 22 mm sq. cover slips 
         Rite-on microscope slides 25×75 mm, thickness 0.93 to 1.05 mm 
         Type A immersion oil
 
Sample Preparation
 
         1. Apply a small sample of product (approximately 1 gram) to the Rite-on microscope slide. Dilute the sample by applying one drop of the external phase (e.g., in a water-in-oil emulsion, water is the dilutent) of the emulsion to the top of the sample once the sample has been applied to the microscope slide. 
         2. Place a microscope cover on top of the sample and apply a drop of immersion oil to the top of this cover. 
         3. Study the sample using a Nikon Microphot-SA (or equivalent) microscope equipped with a 100× oil immersion lens, 10× oculars and DIC. Observe whether the pigment particles appear to be accumulated at the interface of the emulsion droplet. If they appear to be accumulated at the interface, proceed with Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscopy method set forth hereinbelow. 
       
    
     2. Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscopy Technique 
     a) In-product Analysis
     1. Place a small amount of sample in the well of a gold or copper specimen holder.   2. Rapidly plunge the sample and holder into liquid ethane cooled by a bath of liquid nitrogen.   3. Transfer the resulting solid specimen into a cryo-storage vial and store in liquid nitrogen. Note: After freezing, all samples are handled under liquid nitrogen, in a cold nitrogen gas atmosphere, or under vacuum to prevent ice crystal growth in the sample or frost formation on the sample surface.   4. Transfer the specimen into the vacuum of an Oxford CT1500 HF Cryo-preparation chamber attached to a Hitachi S4500-I Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) or its equivalent.   5. Cleave or fracture the specimen under vacuum using a sharp probe to initiate the fracture plane so that a surface is created from the internal structure of the product.   6. After fracture, sublimination of the solvent (normally water) from the exposed fracture surface (etching) may be conducted to expose additional internal structure (e.g., pigments within the internal water phase). Etched structures should be compared with non-etched structures to identify potential artifacts.   7. Using a Denton Planar Magnetron Sputtering Head or its equivalent, coat the sample at −120° C. with a thin film (˜2 nm) of Au/Pd to enhance contrast and reduce specimen charge-up.   8. Transfer the sample onto the cold storage inside the SEM and analyze at −110° C. using the upper (high-resolution) detector at 1.5 keV beam acceleration voltage for imaging, and at 10-20 keV for element identification by x-ray analysis. X-ray analysis may be conducted at a single point or an x-ray elemental image may be formed. X-ray analysis is performed with an Isis Energy Dispersive Spectrometer, or its equivalent, with a thin window silicon detector.   9. Observe whether the particles appear to be accumulated at the interface of the emulsion droplet. This method can be done definitively by comparing three types of emulsion droplet fractures. The first and most common fracture is a cross-fracture where the fracture plane passes through the cross section of an emulsion droplet. In a cosmetic composition containing pigment particles, these particles can readily be imaged and x-ray mapped around the circumference of the droplet. The other two fractures result from the fracture plane propagating around the surface of the droplet either between the droplet and the pigment particles or between the pigment particles and the bulk phase. In the first case, the pigment particles will be seen lining the depression created by the droplets in the bulk phase (i.e., the negative replica). In the second case, pigment particles will be seen over the surface of the droplet protruding from the bulk phase (i.e., the positive replica). The collaboration of these three tests is definitive.

     Using the equipment and procedure hereinbefore described in Analytical Method A, Observation of Particles Accumulated at the Interface of the Internal Phase and the External Phase of the Emulsion—Light Microscopy Technique, prepare a sample and observe under the microscope. If the particles appear to be attached to the surface of the emulsion droplet and appear to be stationary, proceed with Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscopy Technique set forth hereinabove. If the particles appear to be attached to the surface of the emulsion droplet using the Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscopy and appear to be stationary using the Light Microscopy Technique, there is no Brownian motion. 
     C. Particle Size of Emulsion Droplets 
     1. Particle Size of Individual Particles 
     Using the equipment and procedure hereinbefore described in Analytical Method A, prepare a sample and observe under the microscope. Emulsion droplet size can be measured by calibrating the level of magnification with an objective micrometer. As used herein, particle size is the average particle size of a representative sample of the product. 
     2. Particle Size Distribution 
     SEM can be used for qualitative comparisons among samples wherein the particle size of the particles varies substantially. First, select an appropriate magnification based on the particle size and the precision required. Particle size precision is limited to the size of a single image pixel. Therefore, the magnification must be high enough so the size of a single pixel is equal to or less than the precision required for the measurement. If a large range of particle size exists, several magnifications will be required to cover overlapping regions of the particle size range. Random sampling of fields-of-view is the most desirable method, however, known artifactual regions must be excluded. Ideally, the entire sample will be observed prior to selecting representative regions for measurement. The calibrated scale bar of the microscope is used as a reference for either manual or computer-aided measurement of the particles.
