The present invention relates to the cosmetic use of the essential oil ofL., as an active agent for preventing and/or treating the signs of aging or photoaging of the skin and as an antioxidant. It also targets a method for cosmetic treatment of the skin in order to combat the signs of skin aging or photoaging and/or to prevent and/or treat skin disorders induced by an oxidative stress and also a composition comprising an essential oil ofL.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to the cosmetic use of an essential oil ofL., as an active agent for preventing and/or treating skin or keratin disorders associated with constriction of the cutaneous capillary circulation. The invention is also directed towards the cosmetic use of the said essential oil as an active agent for improving the appearance of the lips by increasing the size and/or volume and/or thickness of the lips and/or for (re)modelling them and/or making them smooth, and also to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for the skin and/or keratin fibers.

The invention relates to the use, as agent for depigmenting and/or whitening the skin, in particular for eliminating pigmentary spots and/or senescence spots, and/or as anti-browning agents, of a compound of formula (I):R&#x2014;CHOH&#x2014;CH(NH&#x2014;COR)(CHOH)&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)in which Rdenotes a Cto Calkyl radical, and Rdenotes a linear, optionally hydroxylated C-Chydrocarbon-based radical, with the hydroxyl group being in the alpha-position with respect to the carbonyl, which may comprise one or more ethylenic unsaturations, in particular one or two ethylenic unsaturations. The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for depigmenting and/or lightening skin exhibiting pigmentation spots, comprising the application to the skin of a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a compound of formula (I).

Use of ceramides for depigmenting the skin

The invention relates to the use of at least one urea derivative of the following formula (I) in a composition containing a physiologically acceptable medium, as agent intended for stimulating desquamation of the skin and/or the mucous membranes. It also relates to a method of cosmetic treatment and cosmetic agents containing it.

Urea compounds that promote desquamation

The invention concerns the use of an efficient amount of at least an extract of an least a plant of thespecies in a physiologically acceptable medium, in a composition or for preparing a composition, the extract or composition being designed to inhibit NO-synthase.

The invention concerns relates to the use of an efficient amount of lipochroman-6, in a physiologically acceptable medium, in a composition or for preparing a composition, the lipochroman-6 or the composition being designed to inhibit NO-synthase.

Lipochroman-6 as NO-synthase inhibitor and uses

Pantethinesulphonic acid and/or a salt thereof as a free-radical scavenger. Prevent or combat the harmful effects of UV and/or pollution on the skin, loss of firmness and/or elasticity of the skin, etc.

Pantethinesulphonic acid and/or a salt thereof as a free-radical scavenger

A cosmetic or dermatological composition, comprising at least one extract of a rosacea of the genus Sanguisorba in a quantity of approximately 0.002% to approximately 10% by weight, based on the total weight of said composition.

Use of at least one extract of a rosacea of the genus Sanguisorba officinalis for promoting pigmentation of the skin and/or the body hair and/or the cranial hair
