Abstract
The disclosure relates to an aqueous cosmetic composition that includes at least one effect pigment is present up to about 0.02 wt %, an emulsion of at least one oil and at least one surfactant, and at least one active selected to provide one or more benefits, including, but not limited to brightening/whitening, improvement of skin tone, blemish control or reduction, reduction of redness, anti-aging, and hydration, in an aqueous solvent. The composition may include a thickener and a preservative. Methods include forming the composition and applying the composition to the skin to provide an instant “glowing” or “brightening” effect.
Claims26
A cosmetic composition comprising:
- a. pigment consisting of at least one effect pigment selected from the group consisting of i) at least one synthetic fluorphlogopite and ii) at least one synthetic fluorphlogopite and a metal oxide,
- wherein the total amount of pigment present in the composition is an amount that is not more than about 0.02%, by weight, based on the total weight of the composition;
- b. an emulsion comprising at least one oil and at least one surfactant;
- c. at least one active;
- and
- d. an aqueous carrier system comprising water, such that the cosmetic composition is water-based,
- wherein the composition is characterized as providing an instant and lasting glowing and brightening effect when applied to keratinous tissue;
- and
- wherein the pigment provides the instant and lasting glowing and brightening effect.
