Abstract:
Use in association, as oil thickners, in a cosmetic composition comprising an oily phase, of at least one first copolymer including patterns derived from at least one lipophilic monomer and patters derived from at least one hydrophilic monomer, comprising at least one carboxylic acid or sulphonic grouping, and of at least one second copolymer including patterns derived from at least one lipophilic monomer and patterns derived from at least one hydrophilic monomer comprising at least one amine, amide, alcohol or ether grouping. Said first and second copolymers have a molecular weight of not less than approximately 100 000. The association enables thickened composition to be obtained, the texture, look and feel of which correspond to a cosmetic use.
Abstract:
Composition for the treatment of acne containing a dispersion of vesicles of ionic or non-ionic amphiphilic lipids, the vesicles containing in the lipid phase at least one salicylic acid derivative of formula (I): ##STR1## in which R represents a linear or branched C.sub.11 -C.sub.17 alkyl radical; R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2, R'.sub.3, which are identical or different, represent a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl or hydroxyalkyl radical, it being possible for one of the radicals R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2 or R'.sub.3 to be a benzyl radical. The derivative of formula (I) serves both as charged lipid and as anti-acne active ingredient. The derivatives of formula (I) in which, when R represents a C.sub.13 -C.sub.17 alkyl radical, R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2, R'.sub.3, when they are identical, do not represent a hydroxyethyl radical.
Abstract:
A cosmetic or dermatological article may include: a medium in the form of at least one sheet of a material that is soluble in water at a temperature lower than 20° C.; and at least one cosmetic or dermatological compound carried by the medium.
Abstract:
A water/oil/water triple emulsion comprising an aqueous external phase and a W/O primary emulsion comprising an oily phase and an aqueous internal phase, which comprises at least one partially or completely crosslinked organopolysiloxane elastomer comprising a polyoxyethylenated and/or polyoxypropylenated chain. The emulsion may be used, for exampls, for cleansing and/or treating and/or protecting the skin and/or mucous membranes and/or keratinous fibers.

Abstract:
A fluid composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase and comprising up to 0.5% by weight of active material with respect to the total weight of the composition of at least one acrylic terpolymer obtained from a carboxylic acid comprising &agr;,&bgr;-ethylenic unsaturation, from a non-surface-active monomer comprising ethylenic unsaturation other than (a), and from a non-ionic urethane monomer which is the reaction product of a monohydric non-ionic amphiphilic compound with an isocyanate comprising monoethylenic unsaturation. The composition may be used, for example, for caring for, removing make-up from, cleansing and/or scenting the skin, hair and/or lips. The composition may also be used for impregnating fabrics intended for cleansing and/or removing make-up from the skin, lips and/or eyes.
Abstract:
Compositions suitable for cosmetic and/or dermatological use which contain a cosmetic and/or dermatological active agent, at least 20% of a fatty phase, a fatty acid ester of a C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 carbohydrate and polyol.
Abstract:
A device for creating a specific but temporary aquatic passage in an artificial or natural river. The device includes bases which rest on the bottom of a river and elements which extend upwardly from the bases. The bases have holes formed therein which receive rods that extend downwardly from the elements. Placement of the bases in the river bed, and subsequent installation of elements into the bases, allows obstacles to be created in the river which are desirable for canoeing and kayaking.
Abstract:
A lighting support for mounting a light source onto shelving including a lower shelf and an upper shelf, the upper shelf having a front end and a front edge structure. The lighting support comprises a securing member operatively connectable to the front edge structure of the upper shelf a light source support connected to the securing member. The light source support is configured to receive and support the light source and is positioned for the light source to illuminate a section of the lower shelf when the securing member is operatively connected to the front edge structure of the upper shelf.
Abstract:
An analyte-taking device includes a tube provided at one end with an analyte-taking element; a plug inside the tube; and at least one liquid contained in an inside space of the tube separated from the analyte-taking element by the plug. The plug can be arranged, in use, to be expelled together with the liquid when the liquid leaves the inside space of the tube. The liquid can be an analyte-taking liquid suitable for facilitating the taking of at least one analyte by the analyte-taking element. The liquid can also be a reagent suitable for producing an observable reaction in the presence of an analyte picked up by the analyte-taking element.
