Disclosed are cosmetic compositions comprising: (a) from about 0.1 % to about 50 %, based on the weight of the composition, of a film-forming graft copolymer, wherein the copolymer comprises: (i) a backbone exhibiting a Tg of from about 0 DEG C to about 50 DEG C; and (ii) one or more hydrophilic grafts attached to the backbone wherein each of the grafts exhibits a Tg of from about 50 DEG C to about 200 DEG C, and wherein the average molecular weight of each of the grafts is greater than about 1000; and (b) from about 50 % to about 99.9 %, based on the weight of the composition, of a suitable carrier. The compositions provide good wear properties and are suitable for use in a variety of cosmetic applications, such as facial moisturizers, foundations, lipsticks, mascaras, nail polishes and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions are in the form of a nail polish which, when applied to nails, exhibit excellent long wear properties. |
