Abstract
Disclosed is a solid lipstick composition comprising at least one polypropyl silsesquioxane film forming resin, at least one silicone acrylate copolymer, at least one volatile hydrocarbon solvent, and at least one wax, wherein the ratio of the silicone acrylate copolymer to the polypropyl silsesquioxane resin is from about 1:1 to about 1:4, said composition preferably having a hardness of at least 40 gf for an 8.1 mm diameter stick.
Claims18
A solid lipstick composition comprising:
