Process for the treatment of, e.g., visible and/or tactile irregularities of human skin, by applying topically, to the skin, a composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least 5% by weight of one or more surfactants comprising at least one alkyl chain having from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.

Peeling process with surfactants

Composition in the form of a gel containing at least 35% by weight of water, at least one foaming surfactant chosen from nonionic or amphoteric surfactants, and at least one superabsorbent polymer. The superabsorbent polymer helps to thicken the composition without affecting its cosmetic properties.

Composition containing superabsorbent polymers

The present invention relates to a composition preferably useful for topical application containing, or in the form of, a fine oil-in-water emulsion, to the process for preparing it and to its use especially for treating, caring for, making up and/or cleansing the skin, the integuments (hair, eyelashes or nails) and/or mucous membranes. In a preferred embodiment the invention emulsion is obtained without the input of energy. The composition may especially be a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition.

Water oil-in-water emulsion

An article having a support in the form of at least one sheet containing fibers that are water-soluble at a temperature of 0-30&#xb0; C., the support having a density less than or equal to 0.1 g/cm, and a composition carried by the support, containing at least one compound with a thermal effect. The article can have a hot or cold effect depending on the nature of the compound(s) with thermal effect that is(are) present.

Soluble cosmetic article with a thermal effect

The invention relates to a composition preferably useful for topical application in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, containing at least one lipophilic emulsifier and at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible amphiphilic polymer, which may be obtained from 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid units and from hydrophobic monomers comprising an oxyalkylene chain.

Composition containing an amphiphilic polymer, uses thereof

An article, preferably a patch, containing:

Soluble patch

A composition, comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an aqueous phase dispersed in an oily phase by means of an emulsifier of at least one oligomer or one polymer derived from a polyolefin, comprising a polyolefinic apolar component comprising at least 40 carbon atoms and at least one polar component.

Water-in-oil emulsion and its use as a cosmetic

These objects and others may be accomplished with the present invention, the first embodiment of which provides an oil-in-water nanoemulsion, which includes: and wherein the oily phase includes oil globules having a number-average size of less than 100 nm. The nanoemulsion obtained is preferably transparent and stable on storage. It may form a composition for topical, preferably cosmetic or dermatological compositions, pharmaceutical compositions and ophthalmological compositions.
