Cosmetic use ofspecies lysate for the treatment of dryness

The invention relates to the cosmetic use of an effective amount of at least one monounsaturated fatty acid, of a salt thereof and/or of an ester thereof, as a nailcare active agent.

Monounsaturated fatty acid for nailcare

The present invention relates to the topical use ofsubsp.CNCM I-2618, as a pro-pigmenting agent, in particular in the prevention and/or treatment of alterations of skin and/or hair color homogeneity and for creating a uniform complexion.

Use of probiotic micro-organisms as an agent that promotes the synthesis of melanin

Cosmetic use of an effective amount of at least one lysate of at least one microorganism of the genusspecies and/or a fraction thereof, for preventing and/or treating a skin disorder in the case of sensitive skin.

Use of a lysate of bifidobacterium species for treating sensitive skin

The present invention relates to the cosmetic treatment of greasy skin and/or skin that tends to be greasy with a lysate of at least one microorganism of the genusspecies and/or a fraction thereof, as an active.

Treatment of greasy skin with a bacterial lystate

Red blotches on the skin such as those associated with environmental stresses, or red blotches associated with a skin disorder, for example those occurring during rosacea, are treated/reduced by administering to individuals afflicted therewith, thus effective amounts of at least one extract of a non-photosynthetic and non-fruiting filamentous bacterium cultured in a medium which includes at least one non-sulfurous mineral and/or thermal water, e.g., an extract derived from the bacterium, in particular the strain ATCC 15551, cultured in a medium enriched with water from La Roche Posay.

Bacterial extracts cultured in thermal waters comprising anti-redness agents

The invention relates to the oral or nutraceutical cosmetic use of an effective amount of at least one monounsaturated fatty acid, a salt thereof and/or an ester thereof, as an active agent for treating and/or preventing skin complexion imperfections.

The present invention pertains to the use of probiotics for the preparation of a carrier for balancing the skin's immune function. In particular, the present invention pertains to the use of probiotic micro-organisms for balancing the skin's immune function under stress conditions, such as a exposure to ultraviolet radiation, specifically for enhancing the skin's immune activity and reducing the tendency to develop allergic reactions under such conditions.

Use of probiotic lactic acid bacteria for balancing the skin's immune system

The invention relates to compositions containing an agent that has an irritant side effect and a conditioned cell culture medium and/or of an extract thereof, for use, e.g., in the treatment of signs of inflammation and/or of immune disorders, the medium being obtainable by contact with at least one culture of digestive tract cells and at least one probiotic microorganisms. Methods of use.

Conditioned medium and uses thereof

Compositions for preventing and/or treating sensitive and/or dry skin include at least an effective amount of at least one agent and at least an effective amount of at least one divalent inorganic cation, wherein the at least one agent includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of at least one microorganism, a fraction of the at least one microorganism and a metabolite of the at least one microorganism. Methods for preparing such compositions and cosmetic treatment methods employing such compositions are also provided.
