Abstract:
A water/oil/water triple emulsion containing an outer aqueous phase and an oil phase constituting, with an inner aqueous phase, a W/O primary emulsion, one of the aqueous phases of the triple emulsion having a water activity value of less than or equal to 0.85, in particular for the purpose of stabilizing a water-sensitive active agent contained in the aqueous phase with low water activity, which emulsion obtained can constitute a composition for cleansing and/or caring for and/or protecting the skin and/or mucous membranes and/or keratinous fibres.
Abstract:
A composition for topical application is provided which contains at least one water-sensitive active agent with a topical action and at least one polyol, the latter being present in a quantity which is effective for obtaining a water activity value of the composition of less than or equal to 0.85 with the aim of stabilizing the water-sensitive active agent, the composition containing at least one structuring agent chosen from polymers and oils. The water-sensitive active agent can, in particular, be an enzyme. The composition obtained can be used for cleansing and/or caring for and/or protecting the skin and/or keratinous fibers.
Abstract:
Cosmetic composition in the form of an aqueous gel containing a gelling agent and an aqueous medium, in which the gelling agent consists of a mixture of:a) at least one at least partially neutralized, crosslinked acrylic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between 700,000 and 4,500,000 approximately,b) at least one at least partially neutralized copolymer of acrylic acid and vinyl monomer bearing amine, amidine and nitrile functions, and obtained by hydrolysis of polyacrylonitrile, having a molecular weight of between 100,000 and 200,000 approximately, andc) at least one polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of between 10.sup.5 and 3.times.10.sup.7 approximately.
