Patent ID: 8658142

Claim:
A cosmetic composition comprising: (a) a polyester obtained by reacting: from about 10% to about 30% of a tetraol containing from 4 to 10 carbon atoms; from about 40% to about 80% of a linear or branched saturated monocarboxylic acid containing from 9 to 23 carbon atoms; from about 5% to about 30% of a cyclic dicarboxylic acid containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms; and from about 1.0% to about 10% of an aromatic monocarboxylic acid containing from 7 to 11 carbon atoms; the above weights being based on the total weight of the polyester, said polyester having a weight-average molecular mass from about 3,000 g/ml to about 1,000,000, and a viscosity measured at 110° C. of between about 20 and about 4000 mPa*s, and being present in an amount from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the final composition; (b) at least one resin chosen from hydrocarbon-based resins, said resin comprising from about 1% to about 40% by weight of the final composition; (c) at least one hyperbranched polyol compound, said hyperbranched polyol comprising from about 1.0% to about 20% by weight of the final composition; (d) at least one non-volatile solvent chosen from monoalcohols, said solvent comprising from about 5% to about 27% by weight of the final composition; (e) at least one co-solvent chosen from esters, said co-solvent comprising from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the final composition; (g) optionally, at least one wax, which when present comprises from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of the final composition; and (h) optionally, at least one colorant, said composition being substantially free of silicone oil.
