Abstract
Disclosed are solid cosmetic stick compositions having a preferred product hardness of at least about 600 gram.force, and which comprises from about 0.01% to about 60% by weight of a cosmetic active; from about 10% to about 95% by weight of a liquid carrier; from about 1% to about 60% by weight of a solid polymorphic triglyceride gellant that within the composition is substantially free of long range crystalline order. By selecting the crystalline phase of the triglyceride gellant in the finished product, these cosmetic sticks provide improved product hardness at lower triglyceride gellant concentrations.
