Patent ID: 8318187

Claim:
A cosmetic composition comprising: (A) from about 30% to about 95% by weight of the composition of a first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A) comprising: i) from about 10% to about 98.5% by weight of the first structured of one or more lipidic components that are mutually compatible with one another when liquefied, wherein the lipidic component comprises less than about 50% of a volatile liquid; ii) a structured aqueous polymeric adhesive phase comprising at least one aqueous dispersion of adhesive film-forming polymer particles which are free of volatile organic compounds and at least one structuring agent in an amount effective to viscoelastically thicken, but not solidify, the structured aqueous polymeric adhesive phase, and wherein the adhesive film forming polymer is present in an amount of about 1% to 60% by weight of the first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A); and iii) from about 0.50% to about 60% by weight of the first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A) of at least one lipophilic structuring agent in an amount effective to retain a second fatty phase entrapped in said cosmetic composition prior to application on mammalian keratinous tissue; and (B) from about 5% to about 70% by weight of the composition of a second fatty phase (B) comprising at least one non-volatile lipidic component, the non-volatile lipidic component being at least 10% by weight of the lipidic component of the second fatty phase (B), said second fatty phase (B) being incompatible with said first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A) and said second fatty phase (B) being entrapped in said composition where upon application of said composition to mammalian keratinous tissue, said second fatty phase (B) readily separates from said composition to form a barrier layer over said first structured and adhesive film-forming fatty phase (A) said composition being substantially free of surfactants such that separation of said second fatty phase (B) from said composition is not prevented following application of said composition; and wherein the composition is a single composite composition that remains stable over time.
