Patent ID: 7618644

Claim:
A stabilized composition comprising (a) a decorative preparation selected from the group consisting of lipsticks, eye shadows, mascaras, and rouge and (b) from about 5 ppm to about 10000 ppm, based on the total composition, of at least one stablizer compound selected from the group consisting of compounds having the formula, wherein the dialkylhdroxylamine stabilizers are of the formula R 1 R 2 N—OH where R 1 is cycloalkyl of 5 to 12 carbon atoms or aralkyl of 7 to 9 carbon atoms; or R 1 is 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 independently has the same meaning as R 1 , where at least one of R 1 and R 2 contains a hydrogen alpha to the —NOH moiety; or R 1 and R 2 together form a C 2-12 heterocyclic ring which contains at least one carbon substituted hydrogen alpha to the —NOH moiety, where said C 2-12 heterocyclic ring is unsubstituted or is substituted by one to three 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; and 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.
