Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stable oil-in-water emulsions comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase with an emulsifying system. More precisely, the emulsifying system contains a first ester chosen from the fatty acid esters of glucose and the fatty acid esters of alkylglucose and at least one second fatty acid ester of sucrose. The emulsion according to the invention may be used in the cosmetic field and in the field of dermatology in order to obtain a skin cream.
Abstract:
Use in association, as oil thickners, in a cosmetic composition comprising an oily phase, of at least one first copolymer including patterns derived from at least one lipophilic monomer and patters derived from at least one hydrophilic monomer, comprising at least one carboxylic acid or sulphonic grouping, and of at least one second copolymer including patterns derived from at least one lipophilic monomer and patterns derived from at least one hydrophilic monomer comprising at least one amine, amide, alcohol or ether grouping. Said first and second copolymers have a molecular weight of not less than approximately 100 000. The association enables thickened composition to be obtained, the texture, look and feel of which correspond to a cosmetic use.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for combating skin marks and/or ageing of the skin, containing, in a cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable medium, at least one saccharide ester of ascorbic acid and a water-soluble sulphonic UVA screening agent.
Abstract:
Compositions of gel-like appearance, comprising an oily phase formed of at least 75% of organopolysiloxane, dispersed in an aqueous phase containing at least 25% of water, using an emulsifying agent formed of at least one sucrose ester, are stable in the presence of compounds which are not compatible with conventional gelling agents.
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:
A water/oil/water triple emulsion comprising an aqueous external phase and a W/O primary emulsion comprising an oily phase and an aqueous internal phase, which comprises at least one partially or completely crosslinked organopolysiloxane elastomer comprising a polyoxyethylenated and/or polyoxypropylenated chain. The emulsion may be used, for exampls, for cleansing and/or treating and/or protecting the skin and/or mucous membranes and/or keratinous fibers.

Abstract:
A fluid composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase and comprising up to 0.5% by weight of active material with respect to the total weight of the composition of at least one acrylic terpolymer obtained from a carboxylic acid comprising &agr;,&bgr;-ethylenic unsaturation, from a non-surface-active monomer comprising ethylenic unsaturation other than (a), and from a non-ionic urethane monomer which is the reaction product of a monohydric non-ionic amphiphilic compound with an isocyanate comprising monoethylenic unsaturation. The composition may be used, for example, for caring for, removing make-up from, cleansing and/or scenting the skin, hair and/or lips. The composition may also be used for impregnating fabrics intended for cleansing and/or removing make-up from the skin, lips and/or eyes.
Abstract:
Compositions suitable for cosmetic and/or dermatological use which contain a cosmetic and/or dermatological active agent, at least 20% of a fatty phase, a fatty acid ester of a C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 carbohydrate and polyol.
Abstract:
A device for creating a specific but temporary aquatic passage in an artificial or natural river. The device includes bases which rest on the bottom of a river and elements which extend upwardly from the bases. The bases have holes formed therein which receive rods that extend downwardly from the elements. Placement of the bases in the river bed, and subsequent installation of elements into the bases, allows obstacles to be created in the river which are desirable for canoeing and kayaking.
