The invention relates to a composition containing, preferably in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one xanthine base or a plant extract containing it, at least one polyurethane powder, and at least one non-ionic dimethicone copolyol. The invention also relates to a cosmetic method for combating cellulite and/or 'orange-peel' skin and/or slimming the figure, comprising the application of the composition to the skin. The composition applied to the skin exhibits good cosmetic properties of softness and of non-tackiness.

Methods for reducing tackiness associated with a xanthine compound

The invention concerns a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least a liquid fatty phase comprising at least a volatile organic solvent and at least an aqueous phase. The invention is characterised in that the aqueous phase contains a micro-dispersion of wax particles. The composition results, after being applied on keratinous fibres, in a water-resistant film and provides good curved shape to the keratinous fibres. The invention is applicable to mascara.

Mascara comprising a liquid fatty phase and a wax

A composition containing a fatty phase containing at least one polyol ether, at least one oil and at least one wax, wherein the wax has a polarity which is the reverse of that of the oil.

Topical composition

The invention relates to methods for the make-up to and care of a keratinous material comprising applying to a keratinous material a composition comprising an aqueous microdispersion of particles of at least one wax and an aqueous dispersion of particles of at least one film-forming polymer. The composition makes it possible to obtain a film which may be resistant to cold water and may be removed as make-up with hot water. The invention also relates to a mascara comprising an aqueous microdispersion of particles of at least one wax and an aqueous dispersion of particles of at least one film-forming polymer wherein the particles of at least one film-forming polymer have a mean particle size of at least 10 nm and further wherein the at least one film-forming polymer is not a coloring polymer and methods for application of the mascara.

Film-forming cosmetic composition

Polyester polyurethanes, process for preparing them, pseudolatices produced from the said polyester polyurethanes and their use in cosmetic compositions

A cosmetic or dermatological film-forming composition comprising a liquid fatty phase, including at least one volatile hydrocarbon oil, and a film-forming polymer in said liquid fatty phase, characterized in that it comprises at least one polyolefin wax resulting from the polymerization of alpha-olefins having at least 10 carbon atoms, said wax having a melting point ranging from 50 to 80&deg; C. The invention includes the use of such a composition, especially for producing a water-resistant film exhibiting good hold with regard to rubbing, to tears, to perspiration or to sebum.

Cosmetic composition comprising a film-forming polymer, a poly-alpha-olefin and a liquid fatty phase

A make-up cosmetic composition for the skin comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, at least one film-forming polymer, at least one nonionic surfactant, and at least one pulverulent coloring matter, wherein said at least one nonionic surfactant is chosen from polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol/polyethylene glycol triblock polycondensates. The composition makes it possible to obtain a make-up for the skin having good covering power and which is tolerated by sensitive skins and/or eyes.

Make-up composition for the skin

The invention relates to a application system for coating, in particular, for making up, keratin fibers, having a reservoir containing a composition for coating, in particular, for making up keratin fibers, in particular, the eyelashes, a removable closure means designed to close the reservoir and an applicator member for applying the composition to the fibers, wherein the coating composition has an aqueous medium and a film-forming polyurethane in the form of solid particles dispersed in the aqueous medium, the composition having a viscosity, measured at 25&deg; C., at a shear rate of 200 s , ranging from 5 Pa&middot;s to 18 Pa&middot;s, and wherein the composition is free of wax.

Mascara product comprising a polyurethane

Mascara comprising a mixture of hard waxes and of film-forming polymer

Cosmetic composition or cosmetic composition carrier comprising an aqueous microdispersion of particles containing at least one wax, the said particles being solid up to a temperature equal to at least -30.degree. C., the said particles containing, in addition, a lipophilic hydrofluorocarbon organic compound such that the proportion of the number of fluorine atoms with respect to the total number of fluorine and hydrogen atoms linked to the carbon atoms in the molecule of the said compound is equal to at least 10% and is not greater than 90%. Application of the said composition, in particular, for making up eyelashes or hair care.

Cosmetic composition based on a microdispersion of wax comprising a

The present invention relates to polyurethanes and a process for preparing them. These polyester polyurethanes contain units corresponding to the following formulae (I) and (II): ##STR1## The polyester urethanes according to the present invention form pseudolatices which may be utilized in cosmetic compositions.

Polyester polyurethanes, process for preparing them, produced from the

This composition, containing in the conventional manner at least one wax, at least one thickening agent and at least one volatile organic solvent and optionally other conventional ingredients (fillers, pigments, vitamins, amino acids, etc.) is characterized in that it contains an aqueous solution of at least one water-soluble film forming polymer (keratin, chitin, chitosan or cellulose derivatives, acrylic polymers, polyvinyl pyrrolidones and vinylic copolymers, natural polymers, ethylene polymers and oxy-ethylenated silicones, etc.). The originality of this mascara consists in obtaining an increase in the water resistance of the product by introducing an aqueous solution of water-soluble substances into an anhydrous formula. The system does not contain an emulsifying agent, but nevertheless allows for a stable composition containing approximately 10% of water in a completely hydrophobic medium.

Waterproof composition for covering the eyelashes, and process for the

The present invention relates to a composition for making up the eyelashes and the eyebrows, consisting of a fatty phase based on wax(es) of melting point between 50.degree. and 110.degree.
