METHOD FOR TREATING CHAPPED LIPS
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent Application Serial
No.
918,134. filed August 27, 199?, which is hereby incorporated by reference in
its entirety.
Technical Field
The invention is in the field of pigmented cosmetic stick compositions for
applying to
lips to treat chapped, chafed, or windburned lips.
Background of the Invention
Chapped. chafed, or windburned lips are a problem for many women, particularly
during the cold months of the year. Chapping is a result of a lack of moisture
in surface skin
which affects adhesion of surface cells to the skin surface. Thus, chapped
skin often appears
white and scaly due to detached surface cells.
Chapstick and other lip balms are well known treatments for such conditions.
However, lip balms are generally very waxy, unpigmented or minimally pigmented
sticks that
do not provide any color to the lips. Thus, women who suffer from chapped lips
who also
wish to wear traditional lipstick. often will apply chapstick either before or
after lipstick.
This two step process could obviously be made more convenient by formulating
lipsticks
which, in addition to providing color to the lips, also prevent, retard, or
arrest chapping.
Generally typical pigmented lipsticks, particularly the new transfer resistant
lipsticks, do not
provide much protection against chapping. With respect to transfer resistant
lipsticks, the
high concentration of volatiles quickly flashes off after application to the
lips, leaving a film
which is considered by some to be somewhat dry.
It is an object of the invention to provide a full color lipstick which
prevents, retards,
arrests, and ameliorates the effects of chapped lips.

WO 99109936 PCTIUS98117663
It is a further object of the invention to provide a full color lipstick with
an
appreciable concentration of volatiles, that prevents, retards, arrests, and
ameliorates the
effects of chapped lips.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a full color lipstick
containing
sunscreen which prevents, retards, arrests, and ameliorates the effects of
chapped lips.
Summar~r of the Invention
The invention comprises a method for preventing, retarding, arresting, or
ameliorating
the effects of chapped lips comprising applying to the lips a pigmented
lipstick composition
comprising, by weight of the total cocnposition:
0.1-30% skin protectant selected from the group consisting of allantoin, cocoa

participated in the study. Dry lips were simulated by blowing a stream of dry
air over the lips
for thirty seconds. Baseline readings for lip moisture were performed on dry
lips using a
Nova Dermal Phase Meter fitted with a lip probe. Baseline lower lip replicas

clinical evaluations for upper and lower lip dryness, roughness, flaking,
cracking, and fine
lines were recorded.
After baseline readings, subjects were instructed to apply a product of their
color
choice selected from 1, 2, and 3, in Example 1, in an amount sufficient to
cover the lips.
Subjects were asked to refrain from licking their lips prior to the 15 minute
reading. After 15
minutes, the lipstick was wiped from the lips and readings were performed.
Subjects were
then asked to continue using the product for 5 days and return to the
laboratory for final
