Gel-based lipstick compositions are disclosed comprising an ester terminated poly(ester-amide) (ETPEA) polymeric gellant, a first wax component having a melting point above the sol-gel transition temperature of the ETPEA gellant, a second wax compositions having a melting point equal to of below the sol-gel transition temperature of the ETPEA gellant, optionally a silicone T-resin co-gellent, and one or more oils capable of forming a gel with the ETPEA gellant. The gel compositions are solid or semi-solid at room temperature and are capable of being molded into self-supporting sticks. The disclosed gels provide high gloss films when applied to the lips and/or provide a rheology characterized by a high viscosity over repeated shear cycles.本發明揭示以凝膠為主的口紅組合物,其包括酯端基聚(酯-醯胺)(ETPEA)聚合物膠凝劑、具有高於該ETPEA膠凝劑之溶膠-凝膠轉變溫度之熔點的第一蠟組份、具有等於或低於該ETPEA膠凝劑之溶膠-凝膠轉變溫度之熔點的第二蠟組合物、視情況之聚矽氧T-樹脂共膠凝劑、及一或多種能夠與該ETPEA膠凝劑形成凝膠之油。該等凝膠組合物在室溫下係固體或半固體且能夠模製成自支撐棒。所揭示凝膠在施用於唇部時可提供高光澤度薄膜及/或提供特徵在於在重複剪切循環過程中之高黏度的流變性。
