Abstract:
Synergistic immixtures of ascorbic acid with at least one monosaccharide ester of ascorbic acid and/or at least one metal salt of phosphorylated ascorbic acid more effectively increase the synthesis of epidermal ceramides in human skin, especially types IV to VII ceramides, as well as improve the barrier function, moisture content and/or suppleness/surface appearance of the skin and which otherwise combat/prevent intrinsic aging thereof and are useful for the treatment of dermatitis.
Abstract:
Cosmetic use of an effective amount of at least one lysate of at least one microorganism of the genus Bifidobacterium species and/or a fraction thereof, for preventing and/or treating a skin disorder in the case of sensitive skin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use, especially the cosmetic and/or therapeutic use, of the protein DJ-1, of polypeptides derived from this protein or of analogs thereof, of a nucleic acid sequence coding for such a polypeptide or of a modulator of the activity, stability or expression of such a polypeptide, especially for preventing and/or treating the signs of skin dryness. The invention also relates to the use of the protein DJ-1, of polypeptides derived from this protein or of analogs thereof or of a nucleic acid sequence coding for such a polypeptide, as a marker for evaluating the state of dryness of an epithelium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a use of an effective amount of at least one probiotic microorganism and/or a fraction thereof and/or a metabolite thereof for preventing and/or treating dandruff disorders of the scalp, as well as a cosmetic process for preventing and/or treating a dandruff condition including the administration a first cosmetic active agent and of at least a second cosmetic active agent, topically, the said first and second cosmetic active agents being formulated in separate compositions, the first cosmetic active agent being chosen from probiotic microorganisms, and mixtures thereof, and the second cosmetic active agent being chosen from antidandruff active agents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use, in cosmetics and in therapeutics, of at least one antimicrobial protein belonging to the ribonuclease family, ribonuclease 7, or of polypeptides derived from said protein, notably as a marker for evaluating the condition of the epidermis. It further relates to the use of at least one polypeptide according to the invention, of at least one nucleic acid sequence coding for a polypeptide according to the invention, or of at least one agent that modulates the expression or the activity, notably biological, of said polypeptide or of its interaction with an element of the extracellular matrix, for the preparation of compositions intended for the prevention and/or treatment of skin disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the cosmetic use of an effective amount of at least one probiotic microorganism and/or a fraction thereof and/or a metabolite thereof, as an agent for treating and/or preventing oily skin or skin with an oily tendency and the associated skin disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions of rosmarinic acid or its derivatives and to the use of a hydrolytic enzyme or of microorganism containing or producing hydrolytic enzymes in these compositions. The invention also pertains to methods for improving the biological effects of the rosemary extracts and for administering such compositions to a human or animal subject for improving the skin, coat, hair or health of the subject.
Abstract:
The subject of the present invention is the use, in particular the cosmetic and/or therapeutic use, of the apolipoprotein D, of polypeptides derived from this protein or of analogues thereof, of a nucleic sequence encoding such a polypeptide or of an agent modulating the activity or of the expression of such a polypeptide, in particular for stimulating terminal epithelial differentiation. The invention also relates to the use of the protein apolipoprotein D, of polypeptides derived from this protein or of analogues thereof, or of a nucleic sequence encoding such a polypeptide as a marker for evaluating the state of the epidermis.
Abstract:
Cosmetic use of an effective amount of a lysate of at least one microorganism of the genus Bifidobacterium species and/or one of its fractions in treating and/or preventing dryness and/or associated disorders of a keratinous substance.
