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

The present invention relates to gelled emulsion particles obtained when predetermined volumes, especially drops, of an emulsion with an aqueous external phase, containing an appropriate reagent in solution in the said aqueous phase, are added to a gelling solution and left therein for a period of time which depends on the degree of gelling desired for the said particles. It further relates to compositions--especially solutions, gels or emulsions with an aqueous external phase--in which the said particles are present.

Gelled emulsion particles and the compositions in which they are present

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.

Composition containing a dihydroxyacetone precursor

Extracts of periwinkle seed, obtained by bioconversion, and compositions containing such extracts display the property of stimulating mitochondrial cell respiration and of stimulating the cell growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Such extracts and compositions also exhibit activity against oxygen free radicals.

Cosmetic composition in the form of an aqueous gel containing a gelling agent and an aqueous medium, in which the gelling agent consists of a mixture of:

Cosmetic composition in the form of an aqueous gel

A cosmetic or pharmaceutical water-in-oil emulsion composition, exhibiting time and temperature stability, comprises in an aqueous phase, (a) a fatty phase comprising (i) a silicone and (ii) a gelling agent and (b) an emulsifying agent. The fatty phase is present in an amount ranging from 15 to 40 weight percent of the emulsion and contains 10 to 90 weight percent of the (i) silicone and 0.1 to 5 percent of the (ii) gelling agent. The emulsifying agent is present in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight.

Useful cosmetic or pharmaceutical water-in-oil emulsion

Gelled emulsion particles and compositions in which they are present

The invention relates to a triple emulsion comprising:

Cosmetic composition in the form of a triple emulsion

The present invention relates to gelled emulsion particles obtained when predetermined volumes, especially drops, of an emulsion with an aqueous external phase, containing an appropriate reagent in solution in the said aqueous phase, are added to a gelling solution and left therein for a period of time which depends on the degree of gelling desired for the said particles. It further relates to compositions-especially solutions, gels or emulsions with an aqueous external phase-in which the said particles are present.
