Abstract:
Cosmetic composition comprising particles of melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resin and its uses. The present application relates to a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one oily phase and particles of melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resin, to the use of the said composition, especially as a cosmetic composition for caring for and/or making up the skin, in particular for softening defects of the relief of the skin, such as microrelief features, wrinkles or pores, while conferring a natural appearance on the skin, and to its use in treating greasy skin. The particles advantageously have a number-average size ranging from approximately 0.1 to 20 &mgr;m. The composition of the invention can be anhydrous or can be provided in the form of a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion. The invention also relates to the use of particles of melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resin as mattifying agent in a cosmetic composition.
Abstract:
Topically applicable UVA photoprotective cosmetic/dermatological compositions comprise an effective photoprotecting amount of at least one UVA screening agent substituted by at least one optionally neutralized sulfo functional group, and an effective UVA photoprotecting-enhancing amount of at least one otherwise non-UVA photoprotecting iron chelating agent, thereby imparting a synergistic protection factor (PF) effect thereto, in a cosmetically/dermatologically acceptable topical vehicle, carrier or diluent therefor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use, in cosmetic compositions for cleansing and/or removing make-up in particular from the skin, mucous membranes, eyes, and/or the hair, of at least one succinic anhydride derivative corresponding to one of the formulae I and II:GOOC--(HR)C--C(HR')--COO--(C.sub.m H.sub.2m O).sub.n --H (I)GOOC--(HR)C--C(HR')--COO--(C.sub.m H.sub.2m O).sub.n --C.sub.p H.sub.2p --O--CO--(HR')C--C(HR)--COOG (II).

Abstract:
An article containing:(A) a water-insoluble hydrophilic polyurethane foam support, and, impregnated on the support,(B) a composition containing separate, non-emulsified aqueous and oily phases, the aqueous and oily phases being present in a ratio by weight ranging from 25/75 to 90/10 (aqueous/oily), the oily phase having a melting point of less than 25° C. The foam can in particular be an open cell polyurethane foam. This article can be used in particular for cleansing and/or removing make-up from the skin of the face and/or body as well as for removing make-up from the eyes.
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:
The present patent application relates to a single-use cosmetic article containing a water-insoluble substrate impregnated with an aqueous cosmetic composition, said substrate being permeable and containing at least a first group of fibers and at least a second group of fibers whose hydrophilicity is different from that of the fibers of the first group. The first and second groups of fibers are arranged such that a first face of the substrate has a hydrophilicity substantially greater than the hydrophilicity of a second face of the substrate, opposite the first face.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a packaged article comprising: an article having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein said inner surface defines a cavity for receiving an appendage of a user, a package surrounding said article; a seam which closes both said package and said cavity of said article, wherein opening of said seam opens both said package and said cavity of said article.
Abstract:
A creamy composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, characterized in that it contains at least one anionic emulsifier which is liquid at room temperature, and at least 5% by weight of one or more waxes relative to the total weight of the composition, and in that the oily phase is in the form of a soft paste at room temperature. The anionic emulsifier is preferably a surfactant containing a phosphate group, such as octyldecyl phosphate. The present invention also relates to the uses of the said composition in cosmetics and dermatology, in particular for caring for, treating and/or making up the skin and/or mucous membranes, and more particularly for treating wrinkles and/or fine lines of the skin and/or for treating dry skin. The invention also relates to a process for preparing this composition, characterized in that at least one step of the process is carried out using a mixer-extruder.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an antiwrinkle composition that includes, in a physiologically acceptable medium: a dispersion of a film-forming polymeric system containing at least one polymer capable of forming a film permeable to water vapor, having a Young's modulus ranging from 108 to 1010 N/m2 and producing, after application at a concentration of 7% in water and then drying, a retraction of the isolated stratum corneum greater than 1% at a temperature of 30° C. and a relative humidity of 40%, and a dendritic polyester polymer having terminal hydroxyl functional groups.
