| abstract |
The present invention relates to lipstick compositions which comprise thermodynamically association structures, preferably lamellar liquid crystals and/or reverse hexagonal liquid crystals, which are used to deliver polar solvent/moisturizers through a non-polar (lipophilic) medium. The association structures consist essentially of from about 3 % to about 96 % by weight, of polar solvent (e.g. glycerine) and from about 4 % to about 97 % of surfactant having a Krafft point at or below about ambient temperature. |
