Definitions

• Cosmetic products and particularly pigmented cosmetic products such as foundations, are developed with the aims of matching skin tone and providing uniform coverage on the skin. Some products tend to streak upon application, fail to blend with natural skin tone, or change color during application. Other products become unstable and separate during storage, and thus require mixing before application.
• a first aspect of the present invention is directed to a cosmetic composition in the form of an emulsion that contains an uncoated silicone elastomer, a solvent for the elastomer, a non-silicone treated pigment, and an emulsifier. Methods of preparing the compositions are also provided.
• Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for applying colored make-up to a keratinous substrate, comprising applying to the substrate a cosmetic composition in the form of an emulsion that contains an uncoated silicone elastomer, a solvent for the elastomer, a non-silicone treated pigment and an emulsifier.

• the main preparation kettle is sanitized with deionized (DI) water (rinse for 30 minutes with DI water heated to 90° C.). The rest of the procedure is carried out at 25° C.
• phases A1 and A3 are combined and mixed for 20 minutes, until the bentone is completely dispersed.
• Phase A2 ingredients are then added to the A1/A3 mixture and mixed until A2 is completely dispersed within A1/A3, and a smooth texture is achieved.
• the Phase B ingredients are mixed until uniform.
• the contents of the second kettle are then added to the main kettle and mixed until an emulsion is formed.
• the stability of each of the resulting foundations was determined by using standard techniques such as freeze/thaw cycles, centrifugation, and storage at varying temperatures and times.
• the stability of the pigments within the emulsion was determined by observing whether the skin tone changed upon application of the product to the skin.
• the foundation was stable and did not change skin tone upon application to the skin.
• the foundation was stable and did not change skin tone upon application to the skin.
• the comparative foundation containing silane-treated pigments was observed to change skin tone when it was applied to the skin.
• the comparative foundation containing a coated silicone elastomer but without uncoated silicone elastomer was observed to separate immediately upon centrifugation, or after 1 day of storage at various temperatures.
