Patent ID: 7867504

Claim:
A cosmetic composition for a keratinous material comprising: at least one film-forming polymer; and at least one thermal transition agent chosen from semi-crystalline compounds, which undergoes a change of state at a transition temperature, Tt, chosen within a temperature range from 25° C. to 80° C., the at least one thermal transition agent being not water-soluble in water maintained at a temperature below the transition temperature, Tt, wherein the at least one film-forming polymer and the at least one thermal transition agent are present in an amount which is sufficient so that the composition is capable, at the temperature of the keratinous material, of forming a film having a resistance (Rc) to hot water maintained at 40° C., of less than or equal to 15 minutes, and a resistance (Rf) to cold water, maintained at 20° C. such that Rf−Rc≧8 minutes, and further wherein said at least one film-forming polymer and said at least one thermal transition agent are different.
