The present invention relates to lipstick compositions which comprise
thermodynamically association structures, preferably lamellar liquid
crystals and/or reverse hexagonal liquid crystals, which are used to
deliver polar solvent/moisturizers through a non-polar (lipophilic)
medium. The association structures consist essentially of from about 3% to
about 96%, by weight, of polar solvent (e.g. glycerine) and from about 4%
to about 97% of surfactant having a Krafft point at or below about ambient
temperature.
