## Abstract

The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one oil-dispersible micronized wax which, if desired, can be processed at room temperature.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A composition comprising at least one oil-dispersible micronized wax in an amount of 5 to 30% by weight, and 20 to 60% by weight of at least one volatile hydrocarbon oil and wherein the composition is in the form of a lip composition, wherein the micronized wax is a micronized beeswax, a micronized soy wax, or a combination thereof.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, in the form of a lip gloss.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, further comprising at least one colorant.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the oil-dispersible micronized wax constitutes the main wax of the composition.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The composition of claim 4, wherein the oil-dispersible micronized wax constitutes at least 80% by weight of the total amount of wax in the composition.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is anhydrous.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A method of making up lips comprising applying the composition of claim 1 to lips.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the volatile hydrocarbon oil is isododecane.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, further comprising a film forming agent.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, which is substantially free of silicon oil.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, comprising 5.5 to 25.75% by weight of the at least one oil-dispersible micronized wax.
