A composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one sapogenin and a solubilizing system comprising: (a) at least one non-emulsifying ester of a fatty acid and/or of a fatty alcohol whose hydrocarbon-based chain contains at least 8 carbon atoms, or a plant oil, and (b) at least one branched fatty alcohol whose hydrocarbon-based chain contains at least 8 carbon atoms and/or at least one lipophilic UV screening agent. The solubilizing system according to the invention makes it possible to dissolve a sufficient amount of sapogenin, without recrystallization, for a period of time which is acceptable for cosmetic or dermatological use.

Composition containing sapogenin

A composition including at least one steroid chosen from DHEA and/or a biological precursor and/or a chemical or metabolic derivative of the latter, characterized in that it additionally comprises at least one 2-alkylalkanol comprising from 12 to 36 carbon atoms or an ester of such an alcohol. The invention also relates to the cosmetic and dermatological uses of this composition, in particular for preventing or treating chronological or actinic ageing and canities.
