Stable, topically applicable cosmetic/dermatological compositions well suited for artificially tanning or browning human skin and appropriately packaged, comprise at least one dihydroxyacetone (DHA) derivative convertible into DHA and, advantageously, at least one active species for effecting such conversion.

Active/stable artificial tanning compositions comprising DHA derivatives

The present invention concerns a product for topical application, capable of releasing a cosmetic and/or dermatological active ingredient in and/or on the skin, containing a lipase enzyme and at least one ester precursor of the active ingredient. The ester contains an ester functional group having a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched chain having from 2 to 25 carbon atoms. According to a preferred embodiment, the precursor and lipase are packaged so as not to be in contact with one another until the time of application to the skin.

Product for topical application containing a lipase and an active

A stabilized cosmetic or dermatological active composition containing a vehicle comprising not more than 10% by weight of water, at least one amphiphilic oil, at least one polyol or polyol derivative selected from the group consisting of C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 glycols, ether derivatives of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 glycol and mixtures thereof, and at least one solvent for oil and water, containing an alcohol functional group.

Vehicle and composition containing this vehicle and a stabilized

The invention relates to a composition, which may be cosmetic or dermatological, Containing at least one dihydroxyacetone precursor. The invention also relates to a composition, which may be cosmetic or dermatological, containing at least one dihydroxyacetone precursor and a compound capable of converting this precursor into dihydroxyacetone. Finally, the invention relates to such a composition packaged in a specific manner and to the use of the composition for artificial tanning of the skin.
