Thermal Behavior of Waxes and Its Correlation with Mascara Stability Tests: A DSC Study
In this work, eight commercial eyelashes mascaras were stored during 15 days at 50°C and a correlation between visually perceived separations over time and the thermal behavior of the waxes present within each product was observed. It was found that 3 of the 8 studied mascaras, displayed noticeable...

| Summary: | In this work, eight commercial eyelashes mascaras were stored during 15 days at 50°C and a correlation between visually perceived separations over time and the thermal behavior of the waxes present within each product was observed. It was found that 3 of the 8 studied mascaras, displayed noticeable separations which agreed with both changes in their DSC curves and the presence of 2 heat-sensitive waxes in their formula. Finally, it is suggested that the addition of heat-sensitive wax mixtures into a formula should be discarded in order to avoid visual phase-separations and produce thermally stable mascaras that offer the product experience designed for users. |
