The above summary does not include an exhaustive list of all aspects of the present invention. It is contemplated that the invention includes all compsitions that can be practiced from all suitable combinations of the various aspects summarized above, as well as those disclosed in the Detailed Description below and particularly pointed out in the claims filed with the application. Such combinations have particular advantages not specifically recited in the above summary.
In one embodiment, the lip care composition disclosed herein is a restorative lip care composition formulated to restore, moisturize and/or treat dry, parched lips and lock in long-lasting moisture. In some embodiments, the composition is a topical product, for example, a topical lip care product such as a lip stick, a lip balm, a lip scrub, or the like. Although representative compositions forms are disclosed, it should be understood that the composition may be in any form suitable for application to a user's lips.
The composition may include several key ingredients in amounts, which in combination, work synergistically, to care for a user's lips. For example, the key ingredients may have a restorative, a moisturizing, a lip plumping, a scrubbing, and/or an exfoliating effect, to name a few. The combination of ingredients are specifically selected and combined to form a composition, for example a lip care or treatment composition.
Lip Stick
Representatively, in one embodiment, the composition may by a lip treatment stick or balm including a synergistic combination of one or more of an emollient(s), thickener(s), botanical(s), antioxidant(s), plumping agent(s) emulsifiers(s), vitamin(s), humectant(s), film former(s), calming agent(s) and/or sweeteners(s). Additionally, the composition may include a colorant(s).
In one embodiment, the composition balances one or more emollient(s), thickeners(s), botanical(s), antioxidants(s), plumping agent(s) emulsifiers(s), vitamin(s), humectant(s), film formers(s), calming agent(s), sweeteners(s) and/or colorant(s) in amounts sufficient to provide a composition that effectively nourishes, moisturizes, restores, treats and/or plumps the lips when it is applied.
Representatively, in one aspect, the lip care composition may include, among others, ingredients and/or agents such as Paraffin, Shea butter, Beeswax, essential oils, Vitamin C & E and/or Bamboo Water, which help to moisturize, treat, restore, nourish or otherwise improve the condition of the user's lips.
Additionally, the composition may include ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate, Arnica montana Flower Extract and/or Vitamin K, which are synergistically combined to provide a lip plumping effect when applied topically to the lips. The phrase “lip plumping” is intended to refer to any increase in lip volume, and for any period of time (e.g., hours). Thus, a lip plumping agent may be any agent or ingredient that has the effect of increasing lip volume when topically applied to the lips.
Representatively, it is believed that when topically applied, Sodium Hyaluronate can facilitate the absorption or penetration of other agents, such as moisturizing agents or other agents that may have a lip plumping effect, through the skin. Thus, when combined synergistically with other agents, for example a moisturizing agent(s) or other lip plumping agents, the enhanced absorption causes an increase in lip volume for a period of time. For example, Sodium Hyaluronate may be synergistically combined with Arnica montana Flower Extract and/or Vitamin K to achieve maximum lip plumping.
In some aspects, the lip care composition may be a translucent lip care composition in that it does not have any added color or tint. In other aspects, the lip care composition may be a tinted lip care composition which includes an additive which adds tint or color to the lips once the composition is applied. In addition, it should be recognized that while the composition is described in some embodiments as a lip stick, the lip care composition may be in any form suitable for application to the user's lips and a container of any shape/size, and is not limited to the shape of a stick, or baton. For example, the lip care composition may be a lip balm, lip stick, lip cream, lip gel, lip gloss, or the like, that can be used in any size/shape container. The composition may be applied to the lips directly, or rubbed on the user's finger and then applied to the lips.
Representatively, in one aspect, a balanced lip care composition includes from about 60 percent (%) to about 100% by weight emollient(s), from about 6% to 21% by weight thickening agent(s), from about 0.5% to 2% by weight botanical agent(s), from about 0.3% to 1% by weight antioxidant(s), from about 0.3% to 1% by weight emulsifier(s), from about 0.1% to 0.5% by weight vitamin(s), from about 0.02% to 0.2% by weight humectant(s), from about 0.01-0.1% by weight film forming agent(s), from about 0.01% to 0.1% by weight calming agent(s), and/or from about 0.01% to 0.1% by weight sweetener(s). In addition, a combination of one or more of plumping agent(s) may be included in the composition in an amount of about 0.01% to 0.27% to effectively provide a lip plumping effect. In other embodiments, the composition can contain any one or more of the agents or ingredients disclosed herein, in any amounts and any combinations sufficient to nourish, moisturize, restore, treat and/or plumps the lips when it is applied.
Representatively, in another aspect, a balanced lip care composition including a tint includes from about 50 percent (%) to about 100% by weight emollient(s), from about 5% to 25% by weight thickening agent(s), from about 0.6% to 2.5% by weight botanical agent(s), from about 0.1% to 0.3% by weight antioxidant(s), from about 0.3% to 1% by weight emulsifier(s), from about 0.1% to 0.6% by weight vitamin(s), from about 0.02% to 0.2% by weight humectant(s), from about 0.02%-0.2% by weight film forming agent(s), from about 0.01% to 0.1% by weight calming agent(s), from about 0.01% to 0.1% by weight sweetener(s), and/or from about 0.09% to 0.9% colorant(s), in amounts sufficient to provide a composition that effectively moisturize, treat, restore, nourish or otherwise improve the condition of the user's lips. In addition, a combination of one or more of plumping agent(s) may be included in the composition in an amount of about 0.01% to 0.27% to effectively provide a lip plumping effect.
