Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic or dermatological article comprising: 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 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 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:
A structured cosmetic composition and process of structuring a cosmetic composition comprising at least one amphiphilic compound, at least one dyestuff, and at least one continuous liquid fatty phase structured with a sufficient amount of at least one structuring polymer, wherein the structured composition is in the form of a non-migrating and wax-free solid and wherein the at least continuous liquid fatty phase, the at least one structuring polymer, the at least one amphiphilic compound, and the at least one dyestuff form a physiologically acceptable medium.
Abstract:
A cosmetic article comprising a support impregnated with a cosmetic composition, wherein the support comprises: a) a contact structure configured so as to come into contact with a moistened surface onto which the cosmetic composition is to be applied, and b) an absorbent structure adjacent to the contact structure, comprising at least one water-absorbing material such that the article can absorb at least 10 times its weight of water, wherein the contact structure is configured so as: i) to be permeable to the water present on the moist surface, and ii) to act as a barrier to the at least one water-absorbing material.
Abstract:
An oil/water/oil triple emulsion is stabilized with at least one partially or completely crosslinked organopolysiloxane elastomer having at least one polyoxyethylenated and/or polyoxypropylenated chain. The stable triple emulsion can be used as a composition for topical application, in particular as a cosmetic or dermatological composition, and especially as a vehicle for active principles. The emulsion is particularly useful for cleansing and/or treating and/or protecting the skin and/or mucous membranes and/or keratinous fibers.
Abstract:
Compositions suitable for cosmetic and/or dermatological use which contain a oxyethylenated acetylenic diol, and at least one amphiphillic compound having an HLB greater than or equal to 15, in a physiological acceptable medium.
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:
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:
A cosmetic composition consisting essentially of (i) a fatty phase, (ii) at least one fatty acid ester of a C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 carbohydrate, and (iii) at least one polyol.
