Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a system for a mascara composition that can make the eyelashes thicker without clumping them together. The system includes a cosmetic applicator with protrusions and a cosmetic composition with primary particles that are at least 5 microns in diameter. The composition can be applied as a single coat or as a secondary coat to achieve the desired effect. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a system that can make the eyelashes appear fuller and more voluminous without smudging or clumping them together."

Problems solved by technology

The primary drawback was that the film on the lashes was very water soluble and prone to smudging and running on the skin around the perimeter of the eye.
Unfortunately, the smoolhness of the application was adversely affected.
That is, as the viscosity of the mascara formulation increased, it became increasingly harder to apply, messier, and yielded less separation of the lashes.
Many “volumizing” mascaras, however, are messy and clumpy and tend to clump too many lashes together in a thick, less separated look which gives the look of fewer lashes.

Abstract

A cosmetic system comprising, in combination: (a) a cosmetic applicator comprising a substantially longitudinal stem having a major axis A and a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom, wherein at least two adjacent protrusions are spaced from one another at a distance R at the base of the stem; (b) a cosmetic composition comprising primary particles that are at least about 5 microns in equivalent diameter; and (c) a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic system containing a cosmetic composition comprising one or more particle types for coating the lashes in combination with a particularly designed molded applicator for use in the cosmetic field on keratinous fibers, particularly for making up the eyelashes and eyebrows. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Mascaras are a major cosmetic product of significant importance to the cosmetic industry. They are used to enhance the beauty of a person's eyes by coating the eyelashes, and in some cases, the eyebrows, to primarily thicken, lengthen, color, curl, and define the individual lashes. [0003] Mascaras come in a variety of forms including cakes or blocks, creams, gels, semi-solids, and low viscosity liquids. Cake mascaras were originally the most popular form consisting of at least 50% soap with the pigment mixed in with the soap cakes. With a wet brush, the mascara could be lathered and then applied to the lashes ...
