Abstract:
The present invention relates to new cosmetic compositions for topical use which are intended more particularly for the photoprotection of the skin and/or hair against ultraviolet radiation and to their use in the abovementioned cosmetic application. Still more precisely, it relates to antisun compositions which comprise, in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, an association of a specific screening agent, chosen from dibenzoylmethane derivatives, with at least one inorganic titanium oxide nanopigment treated with silanes and/or silicones.
Abstract:
Topically applicable sunscreen/cosmetic compositions well suited for enhanced photoprotection of human skin and/or hair against the damaging effects of UV-A and UV-B irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (i) a photoprotecting effective amount of 4-methylbenzylidenecamphor and, optionally, of 4-(tert-butyl)-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane and (ii) a 2-ethylhexyl .alpha.-cyano-.beta.,.beta.-diphenylacrylate sunscreen solvent, in an amount sufficient to substantially completely dissolve the total amount of the sunscreen constituent (i), in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, diluent or carrier therefor.
Abstract:
Topically applicable sunscreen/cosmetic compositions well suited for enhanced photoprotection of human skin and/or hair against the damaging effects of UV-A and UV-B irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (i) a photoprotecting effective amount of at least one of the sunscreen compounds 4-methylbenzylidenecamphor and/or 4-(tert-butyl)-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane and (ii) at least one homomenthyl and/or octyl salicylate sunscreen solvent, in an amount sufficient to substantially completely dissolve the total amount of the at least one sunscreen compound (i), in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, diluent or carrier therefore.
Abstract:
Topically applicable sunscreen/cosmetic compositions well suited for enhanced photoprotection of human skin and/or hair against the damaging effects of UV-A and UV-B irradiation, particularly solar radiation, comprise (i) a photoprotecting effective amount of 2,4,6-tris[p-((2'-ethylhexyl)oxycarbonyl)anilino]-1,3,5-triazine and (ii) at least one homomenthyl and/or octyl salicylate solvent for the triazine sunscreen compound (i), in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, diluent or carrier therefor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions containing at least one salicylic acid derivative and at least one cosmetic, dermatologic, pharmaceutical, etc. active agent, where the salicylic acid derivative increases, enhances, etc., the efficacy of the active agent, as well as to methods of making and using such compositions. The invention further relates to a method for enhancing the efficacy of active agents with these salicylic acid derivatives.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to topical compositions that include both Criste Marine and Padina Pavonica and their use for improving various properties of skin, including its appearance.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a composition and process for shaving a surface, such as human skin having hair projecting therefrom. The process involves the steps of: (a) providing a surface to be shaved; (b) providing a composition containing: (i) at least one non-aqueous polar organic compound having at least two hydroxyl groups; (ii) optionally, at least one emollient; (iii) optionally, at least one thickening agent; (iv) optionally, at least one fragrance; and (v) optionally, water; (c) optionally, wetting the surface to be shaved; (d) applying the composition onto the surface to be shaved in order to form a treated surface; and (e) shaving the treated surface.
Abstract:
A self-tanning aqueous gel composition containing: (a) a cosmetically acceptable support; (b) at least one monocarbonyl or polycarbonyl self-tanning agent; (c) at least one aqueous phase gelling agent comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible, crosslinked or non-crosslinked polymer or copolymer; d) at least one tinting agent; and (e) optionally, at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible film-forming agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic peeling method using a composition containing: (a) from 10 to 70% by weight of at least one compound chosen from: nicotinic acid, nicotinic acid esters and nicotinamide, and (b) from 10 to 70% by weight of at least one compound chosen from: ascorbic acid and its precursors, each relative to the total weight of the composition. It also relates to the use of the abovementioned composition for performing a superficial chemical peeling by topical application to the skin, in order to attenuate wrinkles and fine lines and/or pigmented spots and/or scars such as acne or varicella marks.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved sunscreen compositions, more preferably to improve sunscreen compositions containing at least one sunscreening agent (sunscreen) and a silicone-polyamide copolymer.
