The present invention relates to the cosmetic or pharmaceutical use of an extract of a nonfruiting nonphotosynthetic filamentous bacterium in a composition containing a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable medium, as an agent increasing the endogenous synthesis of superoxide dismutase, in particular for preventing and/or limiting the formation of free radicals and/or removing the free radicals present in cells; in addition, the invention relates to a composition comprising at least one extract ofand lycopene.

Administration of extracts of nonfruiting nonphotosynthetic filamentous bacteria for increasing the endogenous synthesis of superoxide dismutase

The present invention concerns a process for preparing an aqueous composition in the form of a gel at a given temperature. The process is characterized in that an associative water-soluble polymer constituted by a hydrophilic main chain and hydrophobic pendant groups is brought into the presence, in said composition, of at least one surfactant in the form of bilayers when it is in aqueous solution under the same temperature and concentration conditions. Compositions in the form of gels or liquids are thus obtained.

The invention relates to the use of an extract of the plant,in the field of cosmetics and pharmacy, especially in dermatology. The invention more particularly relates to any application in which it is sought to reinforce the dermo-epidermal junction or to improve hair condition, by the improvement of the synthesis of collagen VII by keratinocytes and/or fibroblasts. In particular, these applications concern toning of the skin, diminishing of wrinkles or hair care. The invention also relates to a novel method of culture of cells, in particular of human fibroblasts or keratinocytes, for promoting the formation of collagen VII.

The present invention relates to the use of an .alpha.-tocopherol phosphate, especially in its dl or d form, or an ester thereof, of the general formula ##STR1## in which: R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as the methyl or ethyl radical in particular, or an .alpha.-tocopheryl radical; and R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl or ethyl radical in particular, or an oxyethylene chain of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently are a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, or a salt thereof, for preparing a pharmaceutical, dermatological or cosmetic composition for the prevention or treatment of allergic manifestations such as skin allergy or bronchial asthma, or inflammatory manifestations, or for the prevention or treatment of the harmful effects of free radicals.

The present invention relates to a novel composition based on hydrated lipidic lamellar phase or on liposomes and to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical, particularly dermatological composition incorporating it. The hydrated lipidic lamellar phases or the liposomes contain at least in part a derivative of labdane, or a plant extract containing it. The invention reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth.

Composition based on hydrated lipidic lamelar phases or on liposomes

The present invention relates to solid complex particles, each comprised of at least two solid substances, at least one of them being biologically active. The biologically active solid substance is comprised of at least one biologically active product and is evenly distributed at the surface of a grain consisting of the other solid core-forming substance, so-called support substance, said grain having a size comprised between 0.05 and 100 .mu.m (microns) and the weight ratio between said active substance and said core-forming substance being comprised between 10.sup.-4 and 1.5 approximately. The invention also relates to a method for the preparation of said particles, a process for the treatment of a biological surface in order to accelerate the biodisponibility of a biologically active substance. It also relates to compositions for topical application containing the particles of the invention.

The invention relates to the use of Medicago saponins for the preparation of cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions. The invention provides for the incorporation of 0.01% to 5% by weight of a saponin or a corresponding sapogenin, or a plant extract in which it is present, originating in particular from lucerne leaves or roots. The invention makes it possible to promote renewal of the epidermis, stimulate hair regrowth or delay hair loss, or else to combat the effects of ageing on the state of the skin and scalp, as is evident from the Figure.
