The invention relates to a nail varnish composition comprising: a) an embossed effect pigment comprising a metallic substrate in platelet form with embossed structure having a periodic pattern with diffractive elements, said substrate having been produced by PVD methods, and optionally at least one coating applied to the substrate, wherein the substrate has an elemental metal content of 80% to 100% by weight, based on the substrate, and wherein the effect pigment has been treated with a leafing additive for surface modification, b) at least one hydrocarbon resin as binder, c) at least one solvent or solvent mixture and d) optionally further auxiliaries. The invention further relates to a process for producing the nail varnish composition.

An embossed effect pigment includes a metallic substrate in platelet form with embossed structure having a periodic pattern with diffractive elements, said substrate having been produced by PVD methods, wherein the substrate has an elemental metal content of 80% to 100% by weight, based on the substrate, and wherein the effect pigment has been treated with a leafing additive for surface modification. A method of manufacture of an embossed effect pigment includes suspending a metallic substrate in in at least one solvent, adding a leafing additive to the suspension including the metallic substrate in the at least one solvent and stirring the suspension including the leafing additive, and separating the embossed effect pigment from the at least one solvent.

A crosslinked polyorganosiloxane is obtained from the free radical-initiated addition polymerization of polymerizable polyorganosiloxane containing at least two free radical polymerizable groups.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel transparent oil-based cosmetic product which, when decorating the transparent oil-based cosmetic product, enables decoration with a variety of designs using a cosmetic ingredient, and which also enables decoration in a simplified method using a printing technique or the like. The present invention pertains to an oil-based solid cosmetic product which has a transparent oil-based base (A) and at least one decorative layer (B), and which is characterized in that: the transparent oil-based base (A) contains a thickener (a1) and a liquid oil (a2); the decorative layer (B) contains a powder component (b1); and the powder component (b1) contains at least one type of powder that has a higher refractive index than that of the liquid oil (a2).

This invention is directed to an effect pigment dispersion comprising a PVD-aluminum pigment, a leafing additive and an oil suitable for cosmetic skin care or color cosmetic applications, wherein a) the amount of the PVD-aluminum pigment is in a range of 8 to 30 wt.-%, b) the amount of the oil is in a range of 70 to 90 wt.-%, each based on the total weight of the effect pigment dispersion and c) the leafing additive is partly adsorbed on the surface of the PVD-aluminum pigment and partly an excess additive dissolved in the oil, wherein the amount of excess leafing additive is in a range of 0 to 25 wt.-%, based on the weight of PVD aluminum pigment. Further cosmetic skin care of color cosmetic formulations containing this effect pigment dispersion are described.

The invention relates in general to dispersions with a high pigment content, as well as to the uses thereof in the cosmetic industry, and in particular to uses thereof as a makeup composition and particularly as foundation.

The invention relates to a nail varnish composition comprising: a) an embossed effect pigment comprising a metallic substrate in platelet form with embossed structure having a periodic pattern with diffractive elements, said substrate having been produced by PVD methods, and optionally at least one coating applied to the substrate, wherein the substrate has an elemental metal content of 80% to 100% by weight, based on the substrate, and wherein the effect pigment has been treated with a leafing additive for surface modification, b) at least one hydrocarbon resin as binder, c) at least one solvent or solvent mixture and d) optionally further auxiliaries.

The invention further relates to a process for producing the nail varnish composition.

A dye-free nail varnish that is used alone or with a stamp to generate a colored coating under incident white light is presented. The nail varnish includes photonic particles and/or block copolymers that can self-assemble to provide a structurally colored coating. The stamp presents a pattern of repeating nanostructures that can be transferred by imprinting the stamp on a coating of a dye-free nail varnish, thereby providing a structurally colored nail varnish coating. Thus, the nail varnish and stamp, independently or together, provide structurally colored coatings without the use of dyes or pigments.

An embossed effect pigment includes a metallic substrate in platelet form with embossed structure having a periodic pattern with diffractive elements, said substrate having been produced by PVD methods, wherein the substrate has an elemental metal content of 80% to 100% by weight, based on the substrate, and wherein the effect pigment has been treated with a leafing additive for surface modification. A method of manufacture of an embossed effect pigment includes suspending a metallic substrate in in at least one solvent, adding a leafing additive to the suspension including the metallic substrate in the at least one solvent and stirring the suspension including the leafing additive, and separating the embossed effect pigment from the at least one solvent.

Oral care compositions and methods of use thereof are disclosed herein. In accordance with some aspects, the oral care composition comprises from about 0.5 to about 9 wt. % of one or more surfactants; from about 0.3 to about 1 wt. % of one or more thickening agent; particles having a refractive index of from about 1.0 to about 2.5; a stannous ion source; a nitrate ion source; and a phosphate ion source, wherein the composition is substantially free of a titanium containing material, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the oral care composition.
