Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid ester, preferably with a polyglyceryl moiety derived from 2 to 6 glycerins; (c) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of resorcinol and resorcinol derivatives; and (d) water. The composition according to the present invention can be in the form of a nano- or micro-emulsion, or can have a lamellar structure or a lamellar phase, with better transparency and stability.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a nano- or micro-emulsion, comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant with an HLB value of from 8.0 to 14.0, preferably from 9.0 to 13.5, and more preferably from 10.0 to 13.0; (c) at least one ceramide compound; (d) at least one anionic surfactant; and (e) water. The composition can be used as a cosmetic composition and provides an excellent feeling during use and can be transparent or slightly translucent, and is stable over time, even at an elevated temperature.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition in the form of a nano- or micro-emulsion, comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid ester, preferably with a polyglyceryl moiety derived from 3 to 6 glycerins, and more preferably 5 or 6 glycerins; (c) at least one alkyl (poly)glucoside type surfactant; (d) at least one amphoteric surfactant; and (e) water. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention has a dispersed phase which has a smaller diameter due to a combination of the (b) polyglyceryl fatty acid ester and the (c) alkyl (poly)glucoside type surfactant, and the (d) amphoteric surfactant. Therefore, the cosmetic composition can be in the form of a nano- or micro-emulsion with a transparent or slightly translucent aspect.
Abstract:
A subject matter of the present invention is the cosmetic use of a combination of a least one nucleophilic agent and of a least one nitrogen-comprising or phosphorus-comprising agent with a pKa of greater than 11 for treating signs of aging and photoaging of the skin related to glycation.
Abstract:
The instant disclosure relates to skin perfecting compositions and method for perfecting the look of skin. The skin perfecting compositions include: (a) one or more hydrophilic film-forming polymers; (b) one or more mineral clays; (c) one or more particulate fillers; (d) water; and (e) optionally, one or more fibers or Water-soluble organic solvents, skin active agents, etc. can also be included in the skin perfecting compositions. The compositions are particularly useful for smoothing the skin, for example, by filling or covering wrinkles, divots, scarring, or other imperfections of the skin.
Abstract:
A stencil or stamp applicator is used for applying a skin-tightening composition onto skin surfaces. The composition applied with a stencil or stamp results in a discontinuous film made up of sections of about 20 to 150 microns. The discontinuity of the film results in more comfort and a more natural look of facial movement while still retaining a good skin-tightening effect.
Abstract:
A method of treating keratinous substrates, includes applying a makeup setting composition to a keratinous substrate having makeup formed thereon. The makeup setting composition includes a gas phase dispersed in a condensed phase. The condensed phase includes a water-soluble or water-dispersible film former. Kits and mousse-forming compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
Adhesive tapes with specific shapes for preventing or reducing wrinkles and the methods of using the tapes have a stiff low stretch direction and a less stiff more flexible direction. The shaped tapes are applied so that the stiffer direction of the tape is generally transverse or perpendicular to the muscle movement, or, alternatively so that the stiffer direction of the tape is generally transverse or perpendicular to the wrinkle lines.

Abstract:
A method of treating keratinous substrates, includes actuating a packaged makeup priming product that includes a mousse-forming composition to release a makeup priming composition. The method further includes applying the makeup priming composition to the keratinous substrate to form a primed keratinous substrate; and applying a makeup topcoat composition comprising colorant over the primed keratinous substrate. The mousse-forming composition comprises propellant gas; water; and a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer. The mousse-forming composition has a Surface Tension Value of less than about 63 mN/m and is substantially free of surfactant. Kits are also provided.
