Abstract: Structured compositions comprising at least one structuring polymer and at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant. The at least one structuring polymer may be a polyamide polymer. This invention may be in the form of stable compositions such as, for example, make-up sticks, lip compositions, sunscreen sticks, anhydrous lip compositions, and anhydrous foundations.

Description: COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING HETEROPOLYMERS AND OIL-SOLUBLE CATIONIC SURFACTANTS AND METHODS OF USING SAME The present invention relates to compositions and methods for care of, for treating, and for making-up at least one keratinous material, for example, at least one human keratinous material, such as skin, including the scalp, lips, superficial body growths, including the nails, and/or at least one keratinous fiber which includes hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows. More particularly, the compositions of the invention comprise at least one structuring polymer and at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant. The invention may be in the form of a stable composition such as, for example, make-up sticks, lipsticks, transparent sticks, and sunscreen sticks. The compositions may also, for example, provide a molded composition. The use of high molecular weight polymers, i.e., polyamides, to produce clear stick compositions dates back to the mid 1960's. These systems contained a combination of polyamide polymer, castor oil, esters, amides, and colorants as described in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,086,914 and 3,148,125. However, there were significant drawbacks associated with such compositions. For example, the sticks were tacky and difficult to apply to the lips. During storage, particularly at slightly elevated temperatures, the stick surface developed distinct oil droplets (syneresis) which were not reabsorbed after the stick cooled to normal room temperature. There have been many attempts to resolve the aforementioned technical problems with only partial success. The introduction of new specialty cosmetic esters has made it possible to reduce product tackiness and thereby improve application characteristics. However, these modifications did not diminish the tendency of these formulations to have stability problems such as developing distinct and unattractive oil syneresis. In some instances, these modified formulations also displayed poor temperature stability at 50°C. The inventors have found that the use of combinations of at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, and at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant provide a stable composition. In one embodiment, the composition of the invention also may provide good gelling efficiency and/or maintain desirable cosmetic application properties. In one embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, comprising a polymer skeleton which comprises at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom. The composition further comprises at least one liquid fatty phase comprising at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant. In a further embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, and the at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant are present in a combined amount effective to stabilize the composition. Due to the good stability of the compositions of the invention, it is possible to add at least one UV blocker to the composition. As used herein, the expression "at least one" means one or more and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures and combinations thereof. The invention also provides a method for providing stability to a composition comprising including in the composition at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, comprising a polymer skeleton which comprises at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom. The composition further comprises at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant. The invention also provides for a cosmetic process for caring for, making up, and/or treating at least one keratinous material comprising applying to at least one keratinous material a cosmetic composition comprising at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, comprising a polymer skeleton which comprises at least one hydrocarbon- based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom. The composition further comprises at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant. As used herein, "keratinous material" is meant to comprise hair, lips, skin, scalp and superficial body growths such as eyelashes, eyebrows and nails. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention as claimed. One subject of the invention is cosmetic and/or dermatological compositions which are useful for the care, make-up and/or treatment of at least one keratinous material which may be of suitable hardness to allow preparation of these compositions in the form of a stick or other structured form which may be stable. As defined herein, stability can be tested by placing the composition in a controlled environment chamber for 8 weeks at 25°C. In this test, the physical condition of the sample is inspected as it is placed in the chamber. The sample is then inspected again at 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. At each inspection, the sample is examined for abnormalities in the composition such as bending or leaning if the composition is in stick form, phase separation, melting, or syneresis. As used herein, syneresis is the appearance of droplets on the surface of a composition that are visible to the naked eye. Syneresis or oil release from a composition, such as a stick, that is only apparent as a thin, attractive, and glossy, surface coating is not considered a composition that has failed the stability test. The stability is further tested by repeating the 8 week test at 4°C, 37°C, 45°C, and 50°C, and under freeze-thaw conditions. A composition is considered to lack stability if an abnormality that impedes functioning of the composition is observed in any of these tests. The skilled artisan will readily recognize an abnormality that impedes functioning of a composition based on the intended application. The invention applies not only to make-up products for at least one keratinous material such as lip compositions, lip pencils, foundations including foundations which may be cast in the form of a stick or a dish, concealer products, temporary tattoo products, eyeliners, and mascara bars, but also to body hygiene products such as deodorant sticks, and to care products and products for treating at least one keratinous material such as sunscreen (anti- sun) and after-sun products which may be in stick form and also nail products. It is to be noted that a deodorant product is a body hygiene product and does not relate to care, make-up, or treatment of keratinous materials, including keratinous fibers, skin, or lips. The present invention may be in the form of a mascara product, an eyeliner product, a foundation product, a lipstick product, a lip balm, a blush for cheeks or eyelids, a deodorant product, a fragrance product, a make-up product for the body, a make-up-removing product, an eyeshadow product, a face powder product, a night or day care product for the face, a concealer product, a hair conditioning product, a sunscreen, a colorant for the skin or hair, or a skin care formula such as, for example, anti-pimple or shaving cut formulas. According to one embodiment of the invention, the composition is in the form of a substantially clear or substantially transparent composition such as, for example, a clear lipstick, clear sunscreen composition, or clear foundation, for example, for concealing skin imperfections. For example, the composition of the present invention may be in a form chosen from a paste, a solid, a gel, and a cream. It may be an emulsion, i.e., an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, a multiple emulsion, e.g., an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion or water-in-oil-in-water emulsion, or a solid, rigid, or supple gel, including anhydrous gels. In one embodiment, the composition of the invention comprises an external or continuous liquid fatty phase. By "external or continuous" phase, it is meant, by way of example, the water phase in a water-in-oil emulsion, wherein the oil droplets are dispersed throughout the external or continuous water phase. In another embodiment, the composition of the invention is transparent or clear. The composition can also be in a form chosen from a translucent anhydrous gel and a transparent anhydrous gel. The composition can also be a molded composition or cast as a stick or a dish. The composition in one ■ ♦ embodiment is a solid or rigid product, such as a molded stick or a poured stick. Structuring polymer In one embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer in the composition of the invention is a solid that is not deformable at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg, i.e., 101 kPa). In a further embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer is capable of structuring the composition without opacifying it. This may be due to the fact that the polymer does not crystallize. Moreover, the structuring of the liquid fatty phase comprising the at least one structuring polymer may be due to the hydrogen interactions between two molecules of the polymer and/or between the molecules of the polymer and the liquid fatty phase. As defined above, the at least one structuring polymer of the present invention comprises a polymer skeleton comprising at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom. In one embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer further comprises at least one terminal fatty chain chosen from alkyl and alkenyl chains, such as of at least 4 carbon atoms, and further such as comprising from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, bonded to the polymer skeleton via at least one linking group. The terminal fatty chain may, for example, be functionalized. The at least one structuring polymer may also further comprise at least one pendant fatty chain chosen from alkyl and alkenyl chains, such as of at least 4 carbon atoms, and further such as comprising from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, bonded to any carbon or hetero atom of the polymer skeleton via at least one linking group. The pendant fatty chain may, for example, be functionalized. The at least one structuring polymer may comprise at least one pendant fatty chain as defined above, at least one terminal fatty chain as defined above, or both, and one or both types of chains can be functionalized. In one embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer comprises at least two hydrocarbon-based repeating units. As a further example, the at least one structuring polymer comprises at least three hydrocarbon-based repeating units and as an even further example, the at least three repeating units are identical. As used herein, "functionalized" means comprising at least one functional (reactive) group. Non-limiting examples of functional groups include hydroxyl groups, ether groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, including fluoro and perfluoro groups, halogen atoms, ester groups, siloxane groups and polysiloxane groups. For purposes of the invention, the expression "functionalized chain" means, for example, an alkyl chain comprising at least one functional group chosen, for example, from those recited above. For example, in one embodiment, the hydrogen atoms of at least one alkyl chain may be substituted at least partially with fluorine atoms. According to the invention, these chains may be linked directly to the polymer skeleton or via an ester function or a perfluoro group. For the purposes of the invention, the term "polymer" means a compound containing at least 2 repeating units, such as, for example, a compound containing at least 3 repeating units, which may be identical. As used herein to describe the structuring polymers, the expression "hydrocarbon-based repeating unit" includes a repeating unit comprising from 2 to 80 carbon atoms, such as, for example, from 2 to 60 carbon atoms. The at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit may also comprise oxygen atoms. The hydrocarbon-based repeating unit may be chosen from saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon-based repeating units which in turn may be chosen from linear hydrocarbon-based repeating units, branched hydrocarbon-based repeating units and cyclic hydrocarbon-based repeating units. The at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit may comprise, for example, at least one hetero atom that is part of the polymer skeleton, i.e., not pendant. The at least one hetero atom may be chosen, for example, from nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphorus. For example, the at least one hetero atom may be a nitrogen atom, such as a non-pendant nitrogen atom. In another embodiment, the at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit may comprise at least one hetero atom, with the proviso that the at least one hetero atom is not nitrogen. In another embodiment, the at least one hetero atom is combined with at least one atom chosen from oxygen and carbon to form a hetero atom group. In one embodiment, the hetero atom group comprises a carbonyl group. The at least one repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom may be chosen, for example, from amide groups, carbamate groups, and urea groups. In one embodiment, the at least one repeating unit comprises amide groups forming a polyamide skeleton. In another embodiment, the at least one repeating unit comprises carbamate groups and/or urea groups forming a polyurethane skeleton, a polyurea skeleton and/or a polyurethane- polyurea skeleton. The pendant chains, for example, can be linked directly to at least one of the hetero atoms of the polymer skeleton. In another embodiment, the at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit may comprise at least one hetero atom group, with the proviso that the at least one hetero atom group is not an amide group. In another embodiment, the polymer skeleton comprises at least one repeating unit chosen from silicone units and oxyalkylene units, and wherein the at least one repeating unit may be located between the hydrocarbon-based repeating units. In one embodiment, the composition of the invention comprises at least one structuring polymer with nitrogen atoms, such as amide, urea, or carbamate units, such as amide units, and at least one polar oil. In one embodiment, in the at least one structuring polymer, the percentage of the total number of fatty chains ranges from 40% to 98% relative to the total number of repeating units and fatty chains, such as, for example, from 50% to 95%. In a further embodiment wherein the polymer skeleton is a polyamide skeleton, in the at least one structuring polymer, the percentage of the total number of fatty chains ranges from 40% to 98% relative to the total number of all amide units and fatty chains, such as, for example, from 50% to 95%. In a further embodiment, the nature and proportion of the at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom depends on the nature of a liquid fatty phase of the composition and is, for example, similar to the nature of the liquid fatty phase. For example, and not to be limited as to theory, the at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, may have an affinity for the liquid fatty phase and, for example, with a chemical portion of one of the oils forming the liquid fatty phase of the composition so that physical links with the oils, such as hydrogen bonds, are formed. The more polar the hydrocarbon-based repeating units containing a hetero atom, and in high proportion, which corresponds to the presence of several hetero atoms, the greater the affinity the at least one structuring polymer may have for polar oils. Conversely, the more non-polar, or even apolar, and lesser in proportion the hydrocarbon- based repeating units containing a hetero atom, the greater the affinity the at least one structuring polymer may have for apolar oils. In another embodiment, the invention is drawn to a structured composition containing at least one liquid fatty phase structured with at least one structuring polymer, wherein the at least one structuring polymer is a polyamide polymer comprising a polymer skeleton comprising at least one amide repeating unit and optionally at least one pendant fatty chain and/or at least one terminal chain that are optionally functionalized and comprise from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, bonded to at least one of the amide repeating units via at least one linking group. The liquid fatty phase further contains at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant. The at least one liquid fatty phase, the at least one structuring polymer, and the at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant, together form a physiologically acceptable medium. When the at least one structuring polymer has amide repeating units, the pendant fatty chains may be linked to at least one of the nitrogen atoms in the amide repeating units. In one embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, may have a weight-average molecular mass up to and including 1 ,000,000, such as, for example, up to and including 500,000, and as a further example, up to and including 100,000, and as a further example, up to and including 50,000. For example, the weight-average molecular mass may range from 1000 to 30,000, such as from 2000 to 20,000, further such as from 2000 to 10,000. The at least one structuring polymer, for example the polyamide polymer, is not soluble in water or in an aqueous phase. In one embodiment of the invention, the at least one structuring polymer has no ionic groups or functions, i.e., is non-ionic. In another embodiment of the invention, the at least one structuring polymer can have one ionizable function. As discussed, the at least one structuring polymer may, for example, be chosen from polyamide polymers. A polyamide polymer in accordance with the invention may comprise, for example, a polymer skeleton which comprises at least one amide repeating unit, i.e., a polyamide skeleton. In one embodiment, the polyamide skeleton may further comprise at least one terminal fatty chain and/or at least one pendant fatty chain, wherein said at least one terminal fatty chain and/or at least one pendant fatty chain are chosen from alkyl chains, for example, alkyl chains comprising at least four carbon atoms, and alkenyl chains, for example, alkenyl chains comprising at least four carbon atoms, bonded to the at least one polyamide skeleton via at least one linking group, and/or at least one pendant fatty chain chosen from alkyl chains, for example, alkyl chains comprising at least four carbon atoms, and alkenyl chains, for example, alkenyl chains comprising at least four carbon atoms, bonded to the at least one polyamide skeleton via at least one linking group. In one embodiment, the polyamide skeleton may comprise at least one terminal fatty chain chosen from fatty chains comprising from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, such as, for example, from 12 to 68 carbon atoms, bonded to the at least one polyamide skeleton via at least one linking group and/or at least one pendant fatty chain chosen from fatty chains comprising from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, such as, for example, from 12 to 68 carbon atoms, bonded to the at least one polyamide skeleton via at least one linking group, such as bonded to any carbon or nitrogen of the polyamide skeleton via said at least one linking group. In one embodiment, the at least one linking group is chosen from single bonds and urea, urethane, thiourea, thiourethane, thioether, thioester, ester, ether and amine groups. For example, the at least one linking group may be chosen from ureas, esters and amines, and in another example, from esters and amines. The bond is, for example, an ester bond. In one embodiment, these polymers comprise a fatty chain at each end of the polymer skeleton, such as the polyamide skeleton. In one embodiment, due to the presence of at least one chain, the at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, may be readily soluble in oils (i.e., water-immiscible liquid compounds) and thus may give a macroscopically homogeneous composition even with a high content (at least 25%) of the polyamide polymers, unlike certain polymers of the prior art that do not contain such alkyl or alkenyl chains at the end of the polyamide skeleton. As defined herein, a composition is soluble if it has a solubility of greater than 0.01 g per 100 ml of solution at 25°C. In a further embodiment, the polyamide polymers can be chosen from polymers resulting from at least one polycondensation reaction between at least one acid chosen from at least one dicarboxylic acid comprising at least 32 carbon atoms, such as from 32 to 44 carbon atoms, and at least one amine chosen from diamines comprising at least 2 carbon atoms, such as from 2 to 36 carbon atoms, and triamines comprising at least 2 carbon atoms, such as from 2 to 36 carbon atoms. The at least one dicarboxylic acid can, for example, be chosen from dimers of at least one fatty acid comprising at least 16 carbon atoms, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. The at least one amine can, for example, be chosen from diamines, such as ethylenediamine, hexylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, and phenylenediamine, and from triamines. In one embodiment, the at least one amine can be ethylenetriamine. The polyamide polymers may also be chosen from polymers comprising at least one terminal carboxylic acid group. The at least one terminal carboxylic acid group can, for example, be esterified with at least one alcohol chosen from monoalcohols comprising at least 4 carbon atoms. For example, the at least one alcohol can be chosen from monoalcohols comprising from 10 to 36 carbon atoms. In a further embodiment, the monoalcohols can comprise from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, such as from 16 to 24 carbon atoms, and, for example, 18 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the at least one polyamide polymer may be chosen from those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,783,657, which are polyamide polymers of formula (I): R" R 1 -C - -c- -N I - -R < -c- -o - (l) o II o II O o in which: - n is an integer which represents the number of amide units such that the number of ester groups present in said at least one polyamide polymer ranges from 10% to 50% of the total number of all said ester groups and all said amide groups comprised in the at least one polyamide polymer; - R 1 , which are identical or different, are each chosen from alkyl groups comprising at least 4 carbon atoms and alkenyl groups comprising at least 4 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the alkyl group comprises from 4 to 24 carbon atoms and the alkenyl group comprises from 4 to 24 carbon atoms; - R 2 , which are identical or different, are each chosen from C 4 to C 2 hydrocarbon-based groups, with the proviso that at least 50% of all R 2 are chosen from C 3 o to C 2 hydrocarbon-based groups; - R 3 , which are identical or different, are each chosen from organic groups comprising atoms chosen from carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, with the proviso that R 3 comprises at least 2 carbon atoms; and - R 4 , which are identical or different, are each chosen from hydrogen atoms, Ci to C- 10 alkyl groups and a direct bond to at least one group chosen from R 3 and another R 4 such that when said at least one group is chosen from another R 4 , the nitrogen atom to which both R 3 and R 4 are bonded forms part of a heterocyclic structure defined in part by R 4 -N-R 3 , with the proviso that at least 50% of all R 4 are chosen from hydrogen atoms. In the polymer of formula (I), the terminal fatty chains that are optionally functionalized for the purposes of the invention are terminal chains linked to the last hetero atom, in this case nitrogen, of the polyamide skeleton. In one embodiment, the ester groups of formula (I), which form part of the terminal and/or pendant fatty chains for the purposes of the invention, are present in an amount ranging from 15% to 40% of the total number of ester and amide groups (i.e., heteroatom groups), such as from 20% to 35%. In formula (I), in one embodiment, n may be an integer ranging from 1 to 10, for example an integer ranging from 1 to 5, and as a further example, an integer ranging from 3 to 5. In one embodiment of the present invention, R 1 , which are identical or different, can, for example, each be chosen from C 12 to C 22 alkyl groups, such as from C-ι 6 to C 22 alkyl groups. In one embodiment of the present invention, R 2 , which are identical or different, can, for example, each be chosen from C10 to C 42 hydrocarbon- based groups, e.g., alkylene groups. At least 50% of all R 2 , for example at least 75% of all R 2 , which are identical or different, can, for example, each be chosen from groups comprising from 30 to 42 carbon atoms. In these embodiments, the remaining R 2 , which are identical or different, can, for example, each be chosen from C 4 to C-ι 8 groups, such as from C to C 12 groups. In one embodiment of the invention, R 3 , which can be identical or different, can, for example, each be chosen from C 2 to C 36 hydrocarbon- based groups and polyoxyalkylene groups. In another embodiment, R 3 , which can be identical or different, can each, for example, be chosen from C 2 to C- I2 hydrocarbon-based groups. In another embodiment, R 4 , which can be identical or different, can each be chosen from hydrogen atoms. As used herein to describe the structuring polymers, hydrocarbon- based groups may be chosen from linear, cyclic, and branched, saturated and unsaturated groups. The hydrocarbon-based groups can be chosen from aliphatic and aromatic groups. In one example, the hydrocarbon-based groups are chosen from aliphatic groups. The alkyl and alkylene groups may be chosen from linear, cyclic, and branched, saturated and unsaturated groups. In general, the pendant and terminal fatty chains of the at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, may be chosen from linear, cyclic and branched, saturated and unsaturated groups. The pendant and terminal fatty chains can be chosen from aliphatic and aromatic groups. In one example, the pendant and terminal fatty chains are chosen from aliphatic groups. According to the invention, the structuring of the liquid fatty phase can be obtained with the aid of at least one structuring polymer, such as the at least one polyamide polymer of formula (I). The at least one polyamide polymer of formula (I) may, for example, be in the form of a mixture of polymers, and this mixture may also comprise a compound of formula (I) wherein n is equal to zero, i.e., a diester. Non-limiting examples of an at least one polyamide polymer which may be used in the composition according to the present invention include the commercial products made or sold by Arizona Chemical under the names Uniclear 80 and Uniclear 100. These are sold, respectively, in the form of an 80% (in terms of active material) gel in a mineral oil and a 100% (in terms of active material) gel. These polymers have a softening point ranging from 88°C to 94 °C, and may be mixtures of copolymers derived from monomers of (i) C 36 diacids and (ii) ethylenediamine, and have a weight-average molecular mass of about 6000. Terminal ester groups result from esterification of the remaining acid end groups with at least one alcohol chosen from cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. A mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols is sometimes called cetylstearyl alcohol. Other non-limiting examples of an at least one polyamide polymer which may be used in the compositions according to the present invention include polyamide polymers or polyamide resins resulting from the condensation of at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and at least one diamine, the carbonyl and amine groups being condensed via an amide bond. In one embodiment, these polymers can contain more than two carbonyl groups and more than two amine groups. Examples of these polyamide polymers are those made or sold under the brand name Versamid by the companies General Mills Inc. and Henkel Corp. (Versamid 930, 744, or 1655) or by the company Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp. under the brand name Onamid, for example, Onamid S or C. These resins have a weight-average molecular mass ranging from 6000 to 9000. For further information regarding these polyamides, reference may be made to U.S. Patent Nos. 3,645,705 and 3,148,125. In one embodiment, Versamid 930 or 744 may be used. Other examples of polyamides useful in the compositions according to the invention include those made or sold by the company Arizona Chemical under the references Uni-Rez (2658, 2931 , 2970, 2621 , 2613, 2624, 2665, 1554, 2623 and 2662) and the product made or sold under the reference Macromelt 6212 by the company Henkel. For further information regarding these polyamides, reference may be made to U.S. Patent No. 5,500,209. Such polyamides display high melt viscosity characteristics. MACROMELT 6212, for example, has a high melt viscosity at 190°C of 30-40 poise (as measured by a Brookfield Viscometer, Model RVF #3 spindle, 20 RPM). In one embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer in the composition according to the invention corresponds to the polyamide polymers of formula (I). Due to fatty chain(s), these polymers may be readily soluble in oils and thus lead to compositions that are macroscopically homogeneous even with a high content (at least 25%) of at least one structuring polymer, unlike polymers not containing a fatty chain. In a further embodiment, the at least one polyamide polymer may be chosen from polyamide resins from vegetable sources. Polyamide resins from vegetable sources may be chosen from, for example, the polyamide resins disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,783,657 and 5,998,570. The structuring polymers, e.g., polyamide polymers, of the invention may furthermore be non-waxy polymers. In one embodiment, when the at least one structuring polymer of the present invention comprises a urea urethane having the following formula (II): R-O-CO-NH-R'-NH-CO-NH-R-'-NH-CO-NH-R'-NH-CO-OR (II) then R represents C n H2n+ι, or C m H2 m+ i (OCpH 2 p) r -, wherein n represents an integer having a value greater than 22, for example from 23 to 120, and further, for example from 23 to 68, wherein m represents an integer having a value of greater than 18, for example from 19 to 120, and further, for example, from 23 to 68, p represents an integer having a value of from 2 to 4, and r represents an integer having a value of from 1 to 10, R' represents: or — (CH 2 ) 6 - and R" represents: The at least one structuring polymer, e.g., polyamide polymer, in the compositions of the invention may have a softening point greater than 50°C, such as from 65°C to 190°C, such from 65°C to less than 150°C, and further such as from 70°C to less than 130°C, and even further such as from 80°C to 105°C. This softening point may be lower than that of structuring polymers used in the art which may facilitate the use of the at least one structuring polymer of the present invention and may limit the degradation of the liquid fatty phase. The softening point can be measured by the well-known art- recognized method of Differential Scanning Calorimetry ("DSC"), with a temperature rise ranging from 5°C to 10°C per minute. The at least one structuring polymer, e.g., polyamide polymer, may be present in the composition in an amount ranging, for example, from 0.5% to 80% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, such as, for example, from 2% to 60%, and further, for example, from 5 to 40%. In a further embodiment, the at least one structuring polymer may be present in the composition in an amount ranging, for example, from 5% to 25% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. In one embodiment of the invention, the present invention is drawn to a structured composition comprising at least one liquid fatty phase structured with at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, comprising a polymer skeleton comprising at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom, wherein the at least one structuring polymer further comprises at least one terminal fatty chain, optionally functionalized, chosen from alkyl and alkenyl chains, such as alkyl and alkenyl chains having at least four carbon atoms, and further such as alkyl and alkenyl chains comprising from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, bonded to the polymer skeleton via at least one linking group chosen from amines, ureas, and esters, wherein when the at least one linking group is chosen from esters, the at least one terminal fatty chain is chosen from branched alkyl groups. The at least one structuring polymer may also comprise at least one pendant fatty chain, optionally functionalized, chosen from alkyl and alkenyl chains, such as alkyl and alkenyl chains having at least four carbon atoms, and further such as alkyl and alkenyl chains comprising from 8 to 120 carbon atoms, bonded to any carbon or hetero atom of the polymer skeleton via at least one linking group chosen from amines, ureas, and esters, wherein when said at least one linking group is chosen from esters, the at least one pendant fatty chain is chosen from branched alkyl groups. The at least one structuring polymer may comprise both at least one pendant fatty chain and at least one terminal fatty chain as defined above in this paragraph, and both may be optionally functionalized. Another embodiment of the invention is drawn to a composition comprising at least one liquid fatty phase which comprises at least one structuring polymer, e.g., a polyamide polymer, comprising a polymer skeleton comprising at least one hydrocarbon-based repeating unit comprising at least one hetero atom and at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant.

In one embodiment, the salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary fatty amines may comprise alkyl groups having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, and may be substituted and unsubstituted. Amines may be chosen from, for example, stearamido propyl dimethyl amine, diethyl amino ethyl stearamide, dimethyl stearamine, dimethyl soyamine, soyamine, tridecyl amine, ethyl stearylamine, ethoxylated (2 moles E.O.) stearylamine, dihydroxyethyl stearylamine, and arachidylbehenylamine.

In one embodiment, the amine salts are chosen from stearylamine hydrochloride, soyamine chloride, stearylamine formate, N-tallowpropane diaminedichloride, and stearamidopropyl dimethylamine citrate. The at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant may also be chosen from cationic amine surfactants disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,275,055. In another embodiment, the at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant may be chosen from quaternary imidazolinium compounds including quaternary imidazolinium salts. Quaternary imidazolinium compounds include, for example, imidazolinium compounds containing C12 - C 22 alkyl groups such as 1 -methyl-1 -[(stearoylamide)ethyl]-2-heptadecyl-4,5- dihydroimidazolinium chloride, 1 -methyl-1 -[(palmitoylamide)ethyl]-2-octadecyl- 4,5-dihydroimidazolinium chloride and 1 -methyl-1 -[(talIowamide)-ethyl]-2- tallow-imidazolinium methyl sulfate. The at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant may also be chosen from conditioning agents that are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,387,090. The at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant may be present in the composition, for example, in an amount ranging from 0.1 % to 10% by weight relative to the weight of the composition, such as, for example, from 0.1 % to 5.0%, and as a further example from 0.5% to 2.0%. The amounts of the at least one structuring polymer and of the at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant, however, may be chosen according to the desired hardness and desired stability of the composition, and according to the specific application envisaged. The respective amounts of the at least one structuring polymer and of the at least one oil-soluble cationic surfactant can be such that a disintegrable solid which does not flow under its own weight is obtained. Depending on the intended application, such as a stick, hardness of the composition may also be considered. The hardness of a composition may, for example, be expressed in gram force (gf). The composition of the present invention may, for example, have a hardness ranging from 20 gf to 2000 gf, such as from 20 gf to 900 gf, and further such as from 20 gf to 600 gf- This hardness can be measured in one of two ways. A first test for hardness is according to a method of penetrating a probe into said composition and in particular using a texture analyzer (for example TA-XT2i from Rheo) equipped with an ebonite cylinder of height 25 mm and diameter 8 mm. The hardness measurement is carried out at 20°C at the center of 5 samples of the composition. The cylinder is introduced into each sample of composition at a pre-speed of 2 mm/s and then at a speed of 0.5 mm/s and finally at a post-speed of 2 mm/s, the total displacement being 1 mm. The recorded hardness value is that of the maximum peak observed. The measurement error is ± 50 gf. A second test for hardness is the "cheese wire" method, which involves cutting an 8.1 mm or 12.7 mm stick of composition and measuring its hardness at 20°C using a DFGHS 2 tensile testing machine from Indelco- Chatillon Co. at a speed of 100 mm/minute. The hardness value from this method is expressed in gram force as the shear force required to cut a stick under the above conditions. According to this method, the hardness of compositions according to the present invention which may be in stick form may, for example, range from 30 gf to 300 gf, such as from 30 gf to 250 gf, and further such as from 30 gf to 200 gf. The hardness of the compositions of the present invention may be such that the compositions are self-supporting and can easily disintegrate to form a satisfactory deposit on at least one keratinous material. In addition, this hardness may impart good impact strength to the inventive compositions which may be molded or cast, for example, in stick or dish form. The skilled artisan may choose to evaluate a composition using at least one of the tests for hardness outlined above based on the application envisaged and the hardness desired. If one obtains an acceptable hardness value, in view of the intended application, from at least one of these hardness tests, the composition falls within the scope of the invention. According to the present invention, the compositions in stick form may also possess the properties of deformable, flexible elastic solids and may also have noteworthy elastic softness upon application to at least one keratinous material. The compositions in stick form of the prior art do not have this elasticity and flexibility. Fatty Alcohol The compositions of the invention may further comprise at least one fatty alcohol. The at least one fatty alcohol may be chosen from, for example, Cs to C 26 , such as from, C 12 to C 22 fatty alcohols. In one embodiment, the at least one fatty alcohol is chosen from myristyl, cetyl, stearyl, and behenyl alcohol. The fatty alcohols may, for example, be present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.1 % to 15.0% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, such as, for example, from 0.5% to 10%, and as a further example, from 0.5% to 8.0%. In a further embodiment, the skilled artisan may be able to cure a stability defect by the addition of at least one fatty alcohol to the composition. For example, the addition of at least one fatty alcohol may improve stick structure, minimize syneresis, and generally improve application properties without interfering with stick transparency, as compared to a composition that does not contain the at least one fatty alcohol. Oil-Soluble Polymer The compositions of the invention may further comprise at least one oil-soluble polymer chosen from alkylated guar gums and alkyl celluloses. Alkylated guar gums include, for example, ethyl guars and Cι_ 5 alkyl galactomannans, such as N-HANCE AG-50 and N-HANCE AG-200 from Aqualon. An alkyl cellulose, may be chosen from, for example, ethylcellulose (such as ETHOCEL, from Dow Chemical). In one embodiment, the at least one oil-soluble polymer may be present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.05% to 10.0% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, such as, for example, from 0.1 % to 5%, and as a further example, from 0.1 % to 3%. These ingredients can further stabilize, for example, a clear sunscreen complex composition, against syneresis. In one embodiment, a composition according to the invention may be stabilized by the inclusion of at least one oil-soluble polymer chosen from alkyl celluloses. In a further embodiment, at least one alkyl galactomannan, such as N-HANCE AG-50, may be used to stabilize a stick composition against stick syneresis, particularly at elevated temperatures such as, for example, 45°C. Oil-Soluble Ester The compositions of the invention may also comprise at least one oil- soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group. Any oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group may be within the practice of the invention. The at least one oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group may be chosen from, for example, castor oil, propylene glycol ricinoleate, isopropyl hydroxystearate, triisocetyl citrate, diisostearyl malate, octyl hydroxystearate, triisoarachidyl citrate, cetyl lactate, dioctyl malate, octyldodecyl hydroxystearate, di-isostearyl malate, and di-isostearyl lactate. In one embodiment, the at least one oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group, such as, for example, diisostearyl malate and triisocetyl citrate, may add stability. For example, the use of these esters may minimize oil droplet formulation at room temperature and elevated temperature storage. The introduction of at least one hydroxy-bearing oil- soluble ester, in addition, may dramatically improve the overall softening point of a finished clear anhydrous stick. In a further embodiment, certain at least one oil-soluble esters comprising at least one free hydroxy group may provide the firmest and clearest composition and stick, and may also improve the gelling efficiency in relation to a composition comprising structuring polymers alone. For example, a composition comprising from 16 to 20% structuring polymer with the at least one oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group chosen from isopropyl hydroxystearate has exhibited excellent clarity and structure. Depending on the at least one structuring polymer and its amount and the at least one oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group and its amount, some compositions may develop syneresis after aging for one day at 25 C C, which may be disadvantageous in certain embodiments. The skilled artisan may be able to cure this defect by varying the at least one structuring polymer and/or the at least one oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group. The skilled artisan may also be able to cure this defect by varying the amount of at least one of these ingredients. In one embodiment, the at least one oil-soluble ester comprising at least one free hydroxy group may be present in the composition in an amount ranging from 10% to 84% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, such as, for example, from 20% to 70%.

Non-limiting examples of such waxes include waxes of natural origin, such as beeswax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, ouricury wax, Japan wax, cork fiber wax, sugar cane wax, paraffin waxes, lignite wax, microcrystalline waxes, lanolin wax, montan wax and ozokerites, hydrogenated oils such as hydrogenated jojoba oil, jojoba esters, waxes of synthetic origin, such as polyethylene waxes derived from polymerization of ethylene, waxes obtained by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, fatty acid esters and glycerides, and silicone waxes such as derivatives of poly(di)methylsiloxane. In one embodiment, the at least one wax may be present in the composition in an amount up to 3%, and in another embodiment in an amount of at least 3%, such as up to 30% or up to 50%. Needless to say, the compositions of the invention should be cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable, i.e., they should contain a non-toxic physiologically acceptable medium and should be able to be applied to human keratinous materials. Thus, the composition of the present invention, in one embodiment, may comprise a physiologically acceptable medium, e.g., a physiologically acceptable oil or solvent. For purposes of the invention, "cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable" means that compositions of the invention have a pleasant appearance, odor, and taste. The composition may also further comprise at least one suitable additive commonly used in the field concerned chosen from coloring agents, antioxidants, essential oils, preserving agents, fragrances, neutralizing agents, liposoluble or lipodispersible gelling agents, liposoluble polymers, and cosmetically active agents and dermatological active agents (i.e., an agent having a beneficial effect on the skin, lips, or superficial body growths) such as, for example, emollients, moisturizers, vitamins, essential fatty acids, and sunscreens.

Needless to say, the person skilled in the art will take care to select the optional additional additives and the amount thereof such that at least one advantageous property of the composition according to the invention, such as stability, is not, or is not substantially, adversely affected by the addition(s) envisaged. The compositions of the invention may also comprise at least one coloring agent chosen from pigments, dyes, nacreous pigments (i.e., nacres), and pearling agents. The at least one coloring agent may be chosen, for example, in order to obtain make-up compositions which give good coverage, that is, which do not leave a significant amount of the at least one keratinous material to which it is applied showing through. The pigments may also reduce the sticky feel of the compositions, unlike soluble dyes. In one embodiment, the coloring agents are pigments (nacreous or non-nacreous). Representative liposoluble dyes which may be used according to the present invention include Sudan red, DC Red 17, DC Green 6, β-carotene, soybean oil, Sudan brown, DC Yellow 11 , DC Violet 2, DC Orange 5, quinoline yellow, and annatto.
