A cosmetic composition comprising a film forming polymer,a wax, an inorganic structurant and water that exhibit improved pickup

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition. Particularly, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition that comprises from 0.01 to 20 wt% film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85° where contact angle means the angle at which a water / vapor interface meets a solid surface at a temperature of 25°C which is measured with a goniometer or other water droplet shape analysis systems with water droplet of 5 μL and at 25°C, from 0.01 to 20 wt% wax, from 11 to 40 wt% inorganic structurant selected from the group consisting of talc, silica, mica, alumina, clays and mixtures thereof; and from 5 to 50 wt% water, wherein the composition further comprises skin lightening agent selected from niacinamide, vitamin B6, 12-hydroxystearic acid, glutathione precursors, galardin, 4-alkyl substituted resorcinol and mixtures thereof, and wherein the wax is selected from a group consisting of beeswax, rice bran wax, montan wax, spermaceti wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, sugarcane wax, insect wax, hydrocarbon wax and mixtures thereof.
