Abstract

An improved cosmetic, which employs a color agent and a plasticizer in a volatile solvent, which includes a film-forming agent, which preferably has as components an Amphomer and ethyl-cellulose, as well as a cosmetic pigment. The resulting cosmetic is insoluble in water and has a longer staying power than that of a conventional lipstick. The novel cosmetic, once it dries, does not run or detach on the containers of drinks, on such or on human skin. The finish is so transparent that the cosmetic can be applied in at least three successive layers without accumulation of masses or crack formation. Once applied in this way, while allowing each layer to dry between each successive application, a person can take a shower, swim, smoke, kiss or drink without leaving cosmetic stains on cups of coffee, cheeks or necklaces. Compositions are also provided to increase the cosmetic finish. These compositions transform the cosmetic finish from a matte finish to a highly glossy finish. The compositions that improve the finish also wet and condition the lips, may include protective compounds. Also, compositions for improving the color of the cosmetic are provided. The present invention also relates to formulations for removing the above compositions from the lips. Likewise, kits or equipment that include the above compositions and methods for using these compositions are provided.

Description

RESISTANT COSMETIC THAT DOES NOT SUCCEED BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to kits, methods and compositions for improving the appearance of the lips. The invention contemplates cosmetic compositions for the application of color to the lips, compositions for improving the finish of the cosmetic, powders that improve the color and formulations for removing the color. Cases containing the above compositions are also considered. The present invention also relates to methods for using the foregoing compositions. Description of the Prior Art For many years, lipsticks have been used as a cosmetic preparation to highlight or alter the color of the lips. Conventional lipsticks are formed by a cosmetic dye in a wax carrier. Although these lipsticks have many disadvantages, there has not been an adequate alternative. Lipsticks, which until now have been available, have the marked disadvantage of transferring color easily from a person's lips to other objects. The color of these lipsticks is coursed and removed while swimming, smoking, kissing or other lip contact with items, such as coffee cups, tea cups, napkins and clothes. This leads to the loss of the application of the color of the lipstick when drinking drinks, when swimming and even without any of these activities, due simply to the licking of the lips. Thus, while the lipsticks are initially applied in a normal manner, in a relatively uniform application through the externally exposed areas of the lips, the application of the lipstick will easily dissipate and assume a non-uniform coverage. The greatest loss of lipstick application is typically near the portions of the lips closest to the person's mouth. As a consequence, it is necessary to frequently re-apply layers of the lipstick in order to maintain a uniform coverage of the application of the lipstick on the lips of a person. This frequent need for re-application aggravates a further disadvantage of conventional lipstick. The color of the lipstick has the additional disadvantage of being susceptible to the formation of cracks and mass accumulation. This disadvantage is particularly pronounced when several layers of lipstick have been applied, in an attempt to fill in the application of the lipstick that has been lost, due to the transfer to other articles. As a consequence, the frequent re-application of the lipstick results in the perceptible formation of cracks and masses of lipstick covering the lips of a person. This formation of cracks and masses of a lipstick application detracts from the natural appearance of the lips and is aesthetically inconvenient. Attempts have been made over the years to provide an alternative cosmetic, which does not lead to the disadvantages of lipstick. For example, U.S. Patent No. 2,230,063, discloses a liquid lipstick preparation, which employs a combination of ethyl cellulose and wax-free lacquer, as materials forming the film. However, the lacquer tends to form cracks. Thus, until now, an adequate alternative to lipstick has not been found. COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a novel alternative to lipsticks. The cosmetic of the present invention does not take the form of a viscous bar, but rather is a unique, waterproof and stain-proof liquid, which dries quickly to a smooth, extremely transparent finish, which feels remarkably like a skin not covered. The cosmetic of the present invention is both stain-proof and waterproof. It does not form ribbons, or run or remove when swimming or kissing. The use of the cosmetic of the present invention avoids the disadvantages of stains on coffee cups, cheeks and necklaces. The cosmetic of the present invention has twice as much power in its permanence than that of lipsticks that are said to be waterproof and kiss-proof. The cosmetic of the present invention has additional advantages that do not stick to dental work or braces. It can be used on hair or eyebrows, as well as to cover any bald area on the head. It can be used to cover scars or tattoos anywhere on the body. The present invention provides a perfect cosmetic for female business professionals. Its use in weddings, parties, on the beach, for its use while skiing and for its use during all active sports is highly advantageous. The cosmetic of the invention is extremely attractive and can be used on important banquet dates as well as during informal events. The user can still sleep or take a shower while using the cosmetic, since it does not discolor or run under such circumstances. The user can apply several layers of the cosmetic to achieve the desired appearance. The present invention also relates to compositions for improving the cosmetic finish. Such compositions, when applied to the cosmetic, transform the cosmetic finish from a matt finish to a high gloss finish. The compositions that improve the finish also keep the lips soft and moist and can be given a light massage on the lips, before the application of the cosmetic, to condition and moisten them. The compositions that improve the finish can be applied with an applicator rod. The user can apply multiple times the composition that improves the finish, when it is desired to moisten the lips or increase the finish of the cosmetic. The appearance of the lips can be further improved with the use of color-improving compositions, which comprise a coloring powder, which can be supplied in pressed or loose form. This coloring powder can be supplied in a compact form and can be moderately pressed in the cosmetic using a brush. The coloring powders can also be used as a base or they can be applied between the second and third layers of the cosmetic. The visual effect of the coloring powders can be moderate by applying the composition that improves the finish on the coloring powder. The present invention also relates to compositions for removing the cosmetic, for improving the finish and for improving the color. These compositions can be applied by brush on a fabric and applied to the lips when the user wishes to remove the previous compositions of the lips.

The present invention also relates to kits comprising the preceding compositions and methods for using these preceding compositions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a broad aspect, the invention can be considered as a cosmetic comprising between about 0.1 and 20 parts of an alcohol-soluble and water-insoluble resin, between about 0.1 and 15 parts of ethyl cellulose, between about 0.1 and 15 parts of a cosmetic pigment and between about 50 and 99 parts of an organic solvent. All parts used here with percentage in weight. Preferably, the solvent is the denatured alcohol.

In a more preferred embodiment, the ethyl cellulose is present between about 1 and 10 parts. In a more preferred embodiment, the cosmetic pigment is present between about 2 and 10 parts. In another broad aspect, the invention can be considered as an improvement in a cosmetic using a coloring agent and a plasticizer in a volatile solvent. The improvement is comprised of at least one film forming agent, present in an amount of at least about one percent, in which the agent forming the film is selected from the group consisting of: Amphomer, Lovocryl, Carboset, Joncryl , Quadamer, Gantrez and polyvinyl acetate copolymers. In yet another broad aspect, the invention can be considered as an improvement in a cosmetic that employs a pigment and a film forming agent in an organic solvent carrier. According to the improvement of the invention, the film-forming agent includes a soluble alcohol and a water insoluble substance, present in an amount of at least about one percent and is selected from the group consisting of Amphomer, Lovocryl, Carboset, Joncryl, Quadamer, Gantrez and polyvinyl acetate copolymers. The critical component of the invention is the resin soluble in alcohol and insoluble in water. A number of different queens of the type can be employed in formulating the cosmetic of the invention. The water-insoluble alcohol-soluble resin can be selected from the group consisting of octylacrylamides, acrylates, butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymers and polyvinyl acetate copolymers. The alcohol-soluble resin, insoluble in water, or mixture of resins, serves as a vital component of the agent that forms the film. This agent forming the film can be selected from the group consisting of Amphomer, Lovocryl, Carboset, Joncryl, Quadamer, Gantrez and polyvinyl acetate copolymers. Five performance tests were performed on a variety of resins to determine their proper form for use in the present cosmetics. The suspension test was used to evaluate the ability of the test compound to be solubilized in a solution of 4.4% of the test resin, 3.5% ethylcellulose, 5% castor oil, 0.8% pigment D &C Red # 7 Calcium Lake and 90.7% ethyl alcohol. The rub test was designed to determine the ability of the resin to be retained on the skin. The composition used for the suspension test was applied on the skin and allowed to dry. Next, he rubbed the skin under cold water from the pipe until the composition began to separate and fall. A composition receives a "good" mark if it is capable of withstanding five minutes or more of rubbing. A composition receives a mark of adequate or poor if it resists less than a minute of rubbing. In the color test, the color of the resin-containing compositions used in the suspension test was applied to the lips and the color quality obtained was compared to that produced using a composition lacking the test resin. In the "Lip Sensitivity" test, the compositions used in the suspension test where the compounds were evaluated to determine if they produce a firm shrinking sensation, it forms cracks, dries on the lips or accumulates masses on the lips. The compounds that perform favorably in this test did not produce any of the preceding effects and were not noticed by the user. In the drying time test, the compositions used in the suspension were applied to the lips and the period of time the composition takes to dry was evaluated.

Table I summarizes the results of the performance tests. Resin 28-2930, Amphomer LV-71, Amphomer Lovlocryl-47 and Amphomer 28-4910, all received a "good" performance rating in previous performance tests. While any of the substances tested in the performance tests can be used in the formulation of the cosmetic of the invention, the water-soluble, alcohol-insoluble resin, which serves as the film-forming agent, preferably includes an Amphomer component. The most highly preferred Amphomer is the Amphomer LV-71. In the preferred formulation, the agent forming the film is preferably comprised of an Amphomer and ethyl cellulose. The Amphomer is a commercial brand, under which N-tert copolymers are sold. -octylacrylamide, methyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, acrylic acid and t-butyl-aminoethyl methacrylate. Gantrez is a trademark under which vinyl methyl ether copolymers and mono-akyl ester esters of maleic anhydride are sold by GAF. Quadamer is a trademark under which the terpolymers of alkyl acrylamide, acrylamide or methacrylamide, N-vinyl pyrrolidone and acrylic or methacrylic acid are sold by American Cyanamid. The most preferred film forming agent is the commercially available Amphomer, sold as LV-71 by National Starch and Chemical Company, Specialty Polymers, which has the address of 10 Finderne Avenue, P. O. Box 6500, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08007-3300. Amphoteric acrylic resin, which forms commercially available chemicals such as Amphomer, has previously been used as an adjunct in hair spraying, as described, for example, in the U.S. Patent Nos. 4,192,861 and 4,315,910. However, the Applicant has discovered that this substance can also serve as the preferred form of the critical ingredient of a cosmetic, which forms a clear, colorless film on the lips, and which has a preservation power greater than that of pencils. conventional lipsticks The Amphomer used in the cosmetic of the invention functions as a transparent sealer. Joins and seals the cosmetic to the lips in a clear, transparent film, which does not form cracks or masses. The agent forming the film in the cosmetic composition is that which makes the product of prolonged duration. The Amphomer is an amphoteric acrylic resin. Its official designation of the product by the Cosmetic Toiletries and Fragrances Association (CTFA) is that of the octylacrylamide / acrylates / butylaminoethyl-methacrylate copolymer. The Amphomer is carboxylated at regular intervals along with its molecular chain. In its undissolved form, is a white, fine, free-flowing powder, has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.40 in ethanol at 25 ° C. It contains about 3% volatile substances and has an acidity of 2.05 me / gram. The cosmetic of the invention does not contain waxes or petroleum products. Waxes can stain while oil products can burn or dry lips. The cosmetic of the invention is so transparent that a wearer can form at least three different layers without any damage from which the product forms masses on the lips. In fact, the different layers of the cosmetic of the invention can be applied in different colors to achieve a unique aesthetic effect. Likewise, a different number of layers of the cosmetic can be applied to produce different aesthetic appearances. A single layer of the preferred embodiment of the cosmetic of the invention dries to a transparent finish. If a second layer of the cosmetic is applied on the first, a medium matte finish is achieved. Applying a third layer, the user achieves a matte finish of complete coverage. Even with the use of multiple layers, however, the cosmetic of the invention does not form masses or runs. The cosmetic of the invention can be formulated in any number of different colors by varying the color of the pigment used. The cosmetic of the invention is in a liquid form, when applied and the colors can be used individually or in a layered blend, to create an unlimited array of customized customer colors. Each layer takes about twenty seconds to dry from the time of application. In addition to its basic components, the cosmetic of the invention may include other substances to achieve certain effects. For example, the cosmetic can be formulated with at least about one part of a dimethicone component to achieve a gloss or satin effect. Although the cosmetic formulated in this way looks and feels viscous or sticky, it does not detach and remains on the lips despite extended wear and exposure to moisture. The cosmetic can also be formulated as a lip coater, using a higher concentration of cosmetic dyes or pigments in the formulation. When formulated in this way, the cosmetic can be used to delineate the lips in the same or a different color as the basic application. The cosmetic of the invention provides natural protection against the sun and protects the lips of cracks, both inside and outside, in cold and hot climates. It does not stick to teeth or dental braces. Unlike a current lipstick of the wearer, an individual using the cosmetic of the present invention can actually brush and apply the floss without running the cosmetic or reducing the thickness of its lining of the lips, and without having to return to Apply the lip cover. The cosmetic of the invention is organic and hypoallergenic. Unless a flavor or fragrance is added, it is also odor free and does not contain petroleum products. The cosmetic of the invention improves the beauty of the user without surgery or filling in the inner lips, where the conventional lipstick does not remain. The cosmetic of the invention is extremely transparent and is not sticky like conventional lipsticks. Even after applying three or more layers of the cosmetic of the invention, the lips feel uncovered and have a perfect matte finish.

The cosmetic of the invention is not entirely viscous and can still be emptied from a container. Its transparent consistency can be applied with a fine tip applicator, so that it can be applied with the precision of a makeup artist. The Amphomer used in the cosmetic of the invention functions as a transparent sealer. Joins and seals the cosmetic to the lips in a clear and transparent film, which does not form cracks or masses. The agent that forms the film in the cosmetic composition is that which makes the product of prolonged duration. The cosmetic of the invention is not peeled off with petroleum jelly or cleaning creams. Due to its permanence, care must be taken not to spill the cosmetic of the invention in liquid form on clothes or other fabrics. However, if the cosmetic accidentally spills on the carpet or clothes, it can be easily removed by applying water and then applying isopropyl alcohol or cosmetic-removing formulations, described below, on the condition that the cleaning is done promptly. In order to use the cosmetic of the invention it is recommended that the area of the lips be thoroughly cleaned with the cosmetic-removing compositions, described below. A cosmetic bottle containing small mixing spheres should be shaken for four or five times until the mixing spheres move freely inside the bottle. The cosmetic of the invention is then applied generously in the form of liquid to the dry and clean lips. It is recommended to apply three consecutive coats at one time for full coverage of a day. The cosmetic can be applied with a soft applicator of rabbit's foot or a brush applicator and must be applied through the lips in only one direction only. When the cosmetic is applied, the user should keep in mind that the freedom to create fuller lips, filling in the inner lips, where the regular lipstick does not remain. Approximately 20 seconds should be allowed to elapse between consecutive coatings, in order to allow the preceding coating to dry immediately. During this time, the lips should be separate and unstained. For best results, after the application of the cosmetic of the invention, the user should refrain from eating, drinking or smoking, for at least one minute. With the application of the cosmetic, the user's lips will initially feel itchy. This itching sensation will diminish or pass with repeated use, because the sealing effect of the product really helps to eliminate the sensation, but still presents the common cracks in most of the lips.

The itching sensation, which is sometimes present, can be avoided by first applying a thin layer of the cosmetic containing dimethicone. Subsequent layers of the same or different formulation of the cosmetic can be applied to achieve the desired degree of transparent or matte finish. The bottle containing the cosmetic of the invention must be kept closed after each use. With daily use, a 7,425 ml bottle should last for about two months. As previously noted, the solvent or organic carrier employed is preferably the denatured alcohol, sometimes named ethyl alcohol or ethanol. Other organic solvents that can be used in place of, or in addition to, denatured alcohol include stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cetaryl keto stearyl alcohol, SDA alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, alcohol myristyl, behenyl alcohol, synthetic alcohol and C1840 alcohol. Other organic solvents that may be employed include higher fatty acids that are immiscible in water. They include lauric acid, myristic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, behenic acid and lanolin grade acid. Lanolin and triterpene can also be used in the organic solvent.

Depending on the concentration of the other components, the organic solvent, which is preferably the SDA 40B 190 denatured alcohol, is preferably present in the range between about 30 to 95 percent. Within this range, an organic solvent concentration of 80 to 95 percent will be used normally. The pigments that are used to supply the coloration of the cosmetic are normally provided as dispersions in castor oil. The pigment and castor oil are preferably present in the cosmetic of the invention in an aggregate amount between about 0.1 and 10 percent. Pigments of this type are normal in the cosmetics industry and are identified in that industry by the designations of FD &C, D &C designations, natural color designations that are compatible with alcohol solutions. Preferred pigments that are employed include the D &C Network No, 6, Barium Lake, D &C Network No. 7 Calcium Lake, D &C Orange No. 5, D &C Network No. 27, FD &C Yellow No 5, FD &C Blue No. 1, iron oxides and others. The D &C Lake colors are all made with iron, aluminum, calcium, barium, potassium, strontium or zirconium. Other pigments that can be used include those of dyes or coal tar origin and chemical compounds used as pigments. Inorganic colors, such as iron oxides can be used. The white pigments can be formed from titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, mica or beads. The pigments formed from nitro dyes can be used, if desired. These dyes contain a nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms. However, only a few nitro dyes are certified by FD &C or D &C, because these nitro dyes can be absorbed through the skin and some are toxic. However, D &C Yellow No. 5 is an acceptable nitro dye, which can be used as a component of the pigment of the invention. Azo pigments can also be used. These pigments are characterized by the presence of the azo bond and the monoazo pigments include the largest number of pigments within this group. Another group of suitable pigments is the triphenylmethane group. FD &C Blue No. 1 is the most popular dye in this group and is widely used in the cosmetics industry. The xanthene pigments can also be used. This group of pigments include the Berrry Brilliant, which is widely used in lipstick colors, just like the D &C Orange. Certain of the quinoline dyes are also suitable for use as pigments. There are only two colors of certified cosmetics in this category, namely the D &C Yellow Nos. 10 and 11. These are bright greenish-yellow colors. Anthraquinone dyes are also suitable for use in the pigment formulation required by the compositions of the invention. These dyes are widely used in cosmetics, because they are not affected by light. D &C Violet No. 2 is an example of such a dye suitable for use in the invention. Anthraquinone dyes should not be used in the area of the lips, but can be used in other applications, such as nails. Indigo dyes are also suitable for use and have been used in cosmetics for many years. The D &C Blue No. 6 is an example of a suitable indigo dye. The pigments of vegetable, animal or mineral origin can also be used according to the invention. A suitable pigment of animal origin is cochineal extract. The natural colors and pigments of plant compounds that can be used include the ancusa of dyes, beans, carotene, chlorophyll, saffron and beetroot juice powder, crimson, ancusa root, carmel, grape skin extract and beta-carotene. The hydroxyacetone and indelible dyes can also be used in formulating the pigment in the cosmetic of the invention. Preferred embodiments of the cosmetic of the invention employ color pigments dispersed in castor oil. This dispersion is present in the range between one and ten percent of the formulation. The degree of concentration of the pigments in the castor oil determines the shade of the coloration. Usually, a concentration between 25 and 65 percent of pigments in castor oil, in the aggregate, is used in formulating the cosmetic. Castor oil acts as a plasticizer and also makes the film formed more flexible. Alternatively, the pigments may be soluble in alcohol, such as D & amp; amp; amp;; C Red 28 Lake, in this case a dispersion of castor oil is not necessary to solubilize the pigment in the present cosmetics. The pigments may contain 0.1 to 5% dye. Preferably the pigment contains 0.65 to 1.5% dye. The water insoluble, soluble and alcoholic resin, which is used, is the critical component that supplies the cosmetic of the invention with its numerous advantages over lipstick. While Amphomer is preferably used as the required alcohol-soluble, water-insoluble resin, other resins can be used, not only to add a color component, but also to serve as a sun screen. The cosmetic of the invention can also use vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, drugs, organic compounds, herbs, proteins, ordinary extracts, root extracts, enzymes, sorbitol, pectin and PCA to take advantage of its known properties of coloration, taste, wetting and adhesives, The invention can be illustrated by means of the following examples. EXAMPLE 1 The first step in formulating the cosmetic of the preferred embodiment of the invention is to create the sealant. This sealant is formed by mixing the agent that forms the film in the organic solvent. Specifically, 4.4 parts of Amphomer LV-71, obtained from the National Starch and Chemical Company, and 1.9 parts of Ethocel No. 22, obtained from Aqualon Corporation, were mixed at room temperature in 93.7 parts of denatured alcohol, especially graduated 190, sold as SDA 38B-190. Ethocel N-22 supplies ethyl cellulose that functions as a film former attached to the seal. This sealant is then placed aside momentarily. Five parts by weight of a dispersion of D &C Red No. 7 Calcium Lake, in castor oil and 0.5 parts by weight of a dispersion of D &C Orange No. 5 in castor oil, were then selected for use as the pigment or color agent. Both the D &C Network No. 7 Calcium Lake and the D &C Orange No. 5 each comprise about 50 percent of the total weight of their respective dispersions. The remaining weight of the dispersions is attributable to castor oil. The pigments must be obtained in a milled form as fine as possible. The pigment dispersions are mixed together with another 0.5 parts by weight of castor oil. The mixture of pigment and castor oil is then mixed with the sealant, also at room temperature. The Amphomer, the Ethocel and the pigment ingredients are all easily soluble in the denatured alcohol. When mixed, the formulation is a somewhat cloudy solution. The ground pigment can be stirred into the sealant in any convenient manner. The resulting liquid mixture is a preferred embodiment of the cosmetic according to the invention. EXAMPLE 2 The formulation of Example 1 was repeated, but with the addition of two parts of methyl silicone to the sealant, before adding the pigments to this sealer. The use of dimethicone, such as methyl silicone, increases the brilliance of the cosmetic. EXAMPLE 3 The formulation of Example 1 was repeated, but with the addition of two parts by weight of glycerin as a humectant, when producing the sealant. The use of a moisturizer helps to moisten the lips. EXAMPLE 4 A sealant was first prepared by mixing 4.3 parts by weight of Amphomer LV-71 together with 3.2 parts by weight of Ethocell N-4 in 92.5 parts of especially denatured alcohol, SDA 40B-190. 8.25 parts of the pigment dispersion of D &C Red No. 7 in castor oil along with 0.25 parts of the pigment dispersion D &C Orange No. 5, in castor oil, then mixed with 0.5 additional parts of oil of castor and were introduced in the amount of sealer prepared previously. This sealant, therefore, constitutes 90.75 parts by weight of the total composition. The ground pigment and the additional castor oil were agitated in the sealant to produce the finished liquid cosmetic composition, according to the invention. All the cosmetic formulations of the previous examples will dry in a thin film, when applied to the lips. The cosmetic will not form cracks or masses, even with repeated applications. When any of the above formulations is applied to the wearer's lips in at least three layers, the coverage of the provided cosmetic will last a full day in a user with virtually any normal activity, without fading or peeling.

The above formulations can be used to apply color to the skin, nails, hair or to cover bald areas. In addition, the above compositions can be used as coatings to provide a definition. For use as a coating, darker pigments are preferred, although any pigment will work. Additionally, if used as a coating, the composition should be applied to the lips with a fine-tipped brush. Also, with slight modifications, the above formulations can be used to apply color around the eyes. For this application around the eyes, an aqueous solvent is used and the ethyl cellulose is omitted, and the aminomethyl-propanol Aminonathyl is added. A preferred composition for use around the eyes comprises between about 0.1 to 20 parts of a water-soluble resin, between about 0.1 and 15 parts of a cosmetic pigment, between about 0.5 and 4 parts of the amino-methyl-propanol , Aminonathyl. The present invention also considers compositions for improving the cosmetic finish. The composition can be applied on the cosmetic to increase the matt finish of the cosmetic, only in the high-gloss finish. In addition, the lips will remain soft and silky, while leaving in place the waterproof and slip proof cosmetic. The compositions that improve the finish can also be applied with a light massage on the lips, before the application of the cosmetic, to condition and moisten the lips. The composition improving the finish comprises a silicone. Preferably, the silicone is a silicone copolymer. In one version of this composition, the composition comprises about 100% silicone. Silicones work to provide the activity of a water barrier, brightness, extension and soaking. It can also include the ability to moisten and can function as a carrier for other active ingredients, such as sun screens or vitamins. Mixtures of different silicones can also be used to achieve the desired wetting, carrier or other beneficial effects. Virtually any of the silicones offered by GE Silicones will work in the present invention, including Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone blends, Dimethicone and Laureth-4 and Laureth-23, Dimethicone Copolyol, Cycomethicone and Dimeyhicone Copolyol, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone and other silicones supplied by GE Silicones for use in personal products. Preferably, the silicone is a silicone copolymer. Preferred silicones are the Dimethicones, available from GE Silicone, and the diethylsiloxane-methyl (polyoxyethylene) -siloxane copolymer, such as Dimethicone and Triomethylsiloxysilicate, available from GE Silicones.

Representative dimethicones include the SF96® (5), SF96® (20), SF96® (50-1000), Viscasil® 60M, SF1236 and SE30, available from GE Silicones. In another version of this embodiment, the composition improving the finish comprises a silicone, a lipophilic gelling agent and a condom. The silicones suitable for use in this embodiment are the same as those of the above composition. The lipophilic gelling agent acts as a carrier to introduce additional components into the composition. Additional suitable components are discussed below. In a highly preferred embodiment, the lipophilic gelling agent is Gilugel SL-5 (produced by Giulini Chemie, Germany, and available from Morse Chemical, Inc., San Gabriel, CA). A preferred preservative is phenoxyethanol. In a highly preferred version of the present invention, the finishing improving composition comprises about 1 to 99% silicone, about 0.1 to 50% of the lipophilic gelling agent and about 0.1 to 10% of the preservative. In a highly preferred version, the dimethyl-siloxane-methyl- (polyoxyethylene) -siloxane copolymer is present at a concentration of 88.40%. In a highly preferred version, the Gilugel SL-5 is present at 10%. Preferably, the preservative is phenoxyethanol or BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene).
