Application No. 09/965,792
- particles of at least one polymer in an aqueous dispersion, wherein said at
least one polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from 35°C to 80°C
and a minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) such that Tg - MFT $ 8°C; and
- at least two organic solvents wherein:
a first organic solvent has a molecular weight less than or equal to 200 and a
boiling point, measured at ambient pressure, ranging from 100°C and 300°C, and
a second organic solvent has a molecular weight greater than 200 and a boiling
point, measured at ambient pressure, greater than or equal to 120°C.
9. A film-forming cosmetic composition comprising: a film-forming composition
comprising:
- at least one polymer in an aqueous dispersion, wherein said at least one
polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from 35°C to 80°C and a
minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) such that Tg - MFT $ 8°C; and
- at least two organic solvents wherein:
a first organic solvent has a molecular weight less than or equal to 200 and a
boiling point, measured at ambient pressure, ranging from 100°C and 300°C, and
a second organic solvent has a molecular weight greater than 200 and a boiling
point, measured at ambient pressure, greater than or equal to 120°C.
