A cosmetic ink composition comprises a particulate material, a polymeric dispersant having a weight average molecular weight of less than about 20,000 daltons, and a polymeric rheology modifier. The particulate material can have a Particle Size Distribution D50 of about 100 nm to about 2,000 nm. The cosmetic ink composition can undergo controlled syneresis, forming a weak colloidal gel phase and a particle-lean, low viscosity phase, which can be printed without interventions such as agitation, mixing, or re-circulation to homogenize the composition.

The present invention concerns a dispersion formed of a dispersed phase in the form of drops and a continuous phase, comprising a fatty phase and an aqueous phase non-miscible with each other at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, one of the phases among the fatty phase and the aqueous phase being the dispersed phase and the other phase among the fatty phase and aqueous phase being the continuous phase, wherein the drops comprise at least one core and at least one shell formed of at least one anionic polymer and at least one cationic polymer, the cationic polymer being a compound having the following formula (I):

##STR00001## where: n is an integer of 1 to 5; X.sup.1 and X.sup.2, the same or different, are —O—, —CH.sub.2— or —NH—; R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, the same or different, are each independently a divalent alkylene radical having 20 to 50 carbon atoms; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5, the same or different, are each independently H, OH or NH.sub.2, at least one of the groups R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 being NH.sub.2.

The invention relates to a UV-initiated RAFT-type polymerization for producing hydrophobically associative terpolymers in an aqueous solution. The terpolymers produced by this method can be used as aqueous rheological modifiers. Specifically, the invention relates to a hydrophobically associating terpolymers and a method to produce same using a light initiated iniferter. The monomers used in the present invention are selected from: a monomer having a water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated group; a monomer having an ionic water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated group; and a monomer having a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer capable of forming hydrophobically associative bonds in aqueous medium. The iniferter is initiated with light of wavelength between 250-400 nm. The resultant terpolymer is produced in a cost-effective, simple, and one-step process and can be used to thicken aqueous mediums with less or equal amounts of polymer than currently available.

The present invention relates to a crosslinked polyacrylate salt, which has been neutralized by two types of amines: (1) amine groups attached to the polymer backbone of an aminosilicone and (2) water soluble organic amines. The compositions of the present invention can readily swell in water, displaying enhanced thickening, emulsifying, dispersing and producing film with water resistance compared to acrylate based thickener alone. The compositions can be used to formulate a wide variety of ingredients, such as, for example, fatty substances, humectants, solid particles, silicones, organic or inorganic sunscreens, without the need of further neutralizing agents, dispersants or emulsifiers.
