Claim:
A stabilized composition comprising (a) a decorative preparation selected from the group consisting of lipsticks, nail varnishes, eye shadows, mascaras, and rouge (b) from about 5 ppm to about 10000 ppm, based on the total composition, of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (iii) nitrone stabilizers of formula wherein R 1 is alkyl of 1 to 36 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 to 12 carbon atoms or aralkyl of 7 to 9 carbon atoms; or R1 is said alkyl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl substituted by one to six alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, halogen, cyano, E 1 O—, E 1 CO—, E 1 OCO—, E 1 COO—, E 1 S—, E 1 SO—, E 1 SO 2 —, —NH 2 , —NHE 1 , —NE 1 E 2 , —PO(OE 1 )(OE 2 ) or —OPO(OE 1 )(OE 2 ) groups; R 2 is hydrogen or independently has the same meaning as R 1 ; or R 1 and R 2 together form a C 2-12 heterocyclic ring which is unsubstituted or is substituted by one to three alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, halogen, cyano, E 1 O—, E 1 CO—, E 1 OCO—, E 1 COO—, E 1 S—, E 1 SO—, E 1 SO 2 —, —NH 2 , —NHE 1 , —NE 1 E 2 , —PO(OE 1 )(OE 2 ) or —OPO(OE 1 )(OE 2 ) groups; or where said C 2-12 heterocyclic ring is interrupted by one to three —O—, —NE 1 -, —CO—, —CONE 1 -, —S—, —SO—, —SO 2 —, —COO—, —PO 3 — or —PO 4 E 1 groups; or where said heterocyclic ring is both substituted and interrupted by said groups; E 1 and E 2 independently are hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms substituted by one to three hydroxyl groups; or E 1 and E 2 independently are an oligomer of poly(ethylene glycol) or poly(propylene glycol) terminated by hydroxyl, methoxy, acetate or propionate, where the oligomer has a molecular weight up to about 500; and R 3 independently has the same meaning as R 1
