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 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.
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:
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.
