Abstract

Described herein are coating compositions that can be applied to a number of different substrates. The coating compositions can be used as decorative or protective layers across a range of applications and formulations such as, for example, cosmetics. In one aspect, the coating composition includes a solvent, one or more polymers, and optional additives for enhancing or modifying the properties of the coating composition such as, for example, mechanical properties, rheological properties, appearance, and environmental sensitivity. When applied to the substrate, the coating composition forms a polymer film as the solvent present in the coating composition evaporates. The coating compositions may be easily removed from the substrate with the use of a solvent or a removal solution that reacts or mechanically weakens the film.
