Patent ID: 7785613

Claim:
A composition comprising, in an aqueous medium, at least one film-forming polymer, at least one aqueous microdispersion of wax, and at least one water-soluble aromatic acid ester that is liquid at room temperature, wherein: the composition is chosen from eyeliners and eyeshadows; the at least one water-soluble aromatic acid ester is dimethicone copolyol benzoate and is present in the composition in an amount ranging from 5% to 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition; the at least one film-forming polymer is chosen from sulfopolyester and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and is present in a solids content ranging from 1% to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition; and the at least one aqueous microdispersion of wax comprises wax chosen from beeswax, lanolin wax, Chinese insect waxes, rice wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, ouricurry wax, esparto grass wax, cork fiber wax, sugarcane wax, Japan wax, sumach wax, montan wax, microcrystalline waxes, paraffins, ozokerite, polyethylene waxes, the waxes obtained by Fisher-Tropsch synthesis; waxy copolymers and esters thereof; the waxes obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of animal or plant oils comprising linear or branched C8-C32 fatty chains; hydrogenated jojoba oil, hydrogenated sunflower oil, hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated coconut oil, hydrogenated lanolin oil; silicone waxes; and mixtures thereof; and further wherein the at least one aqueous wax dispersion is present in a wax solids content ranging from 1% to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
