An aerated composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, characterized in that it contains air or inert gas in a sufficient amount to have a relative density ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 and in that it comprises at least one amphiphilic polymer and at least one anionic surfactant. The composition exhibits a very fine texture and good cosmetic properties, while remaining very stable over time. In particular, it can constitute a cosmetic composition intended especially for treating and/or cleansing the skin, including the scalp, nails and/or hair and for making up the skin.

Aerated composition, process for its manufacture and its use

A solid composition for topical application comprising, in an aqueous phase, a gelling system comprising (i) gellan gum, (ii) at least one other hydrocolloid chosen from the group formed by xanthan gum, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, agar-agar, carrageenans, alginates, carob gum, guar gum, gum arabic, karaya gum, gum tragacanth, ghatti gum, pectins, gelatin, caseinates and hydroxypropylguar, and (iii) at least one amphiphilic polymer comprising at least one fatty chain and at least one hydrophilic unit.

Solid cosmetic composition and uses thereof

A composition in the form of an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion containing an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, which contains a mixture of nonionic emulsifiers, the mixture being liquid at ambient temperature and having an HLB ranging from about 6 to 13, and in that the oily phase comprises at least about 5% by weight of one or more waxes based on the total weight of the composition, at least one of the waxes having a starting melting temperature of greater than or equal to about 50&deg; C.

Oil-in-water emulsions containing high wax content and a softpaste oily phase

Use in cosmetics of a rigid gel, and cosmetic or dermatological compositions used

The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a cream composed of a water-in-oil emulsion, wherein it includes at least 25% by weight of an aqueous phase with respect to the total weight of the composition, at least one silicone emulsifier and at least 5% by weight of one or more waxes with respect to the total weight of the composition. The present invention also relates to the uses of the above composition in the cosmetics and dermatological fields, in particular in caring for, treating and/or making up the skin and/or mucous membranes and more particularly in treating wrinkles and/or fine lines of the skin and/or in treating dry skin. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the above composition, wherein at least one stage of the process is carried out using a mixer-extruder.

Composition in the form of a W/O emulsion with a high content of wax and its uses in the cosmetics and dermatological fields

Composition in the form of an O/W emulsion with a high wax content, and uses thereof in cosmetics and dermatology

The present invention relates to a solid composition for topical application, which is free of fillers, containing, in an aqueous phase, less than 20% of the total weight of the composition of a hydrophillic gelling system having the combination of at least 2% by weight of kappa-carrageenan, relative to the total weight of the composition, and at least one hydrocolloid chosen from xanthan gum and cellulose derivatives which are soluble in hot water.

Solid cosmetic composition free of fillers, containing low amounts of gelling agents

A creamy composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, characterized in that it contains at least one anionic emulsifier which is liquid at room temperature, and at least 5% by weight of one or more waxes relative to the total weight of the composition, and in that the oily phase is in the form of a soft paste at room temperature. The anionic emulsifier is preferably a surfactant containing a phosphate group, such as octyldecyl phosphate. The present invention also relates to the uses of the said composition in cosmetics and dermatology, in particular for caring for, treating and/or making up the skin and/or mucous membranes, and more particularly for treating wrinkles and/or fine lines of the skin and/or for treating dry skin. The invention also relates to a process for preparing this composition, characterized in that at least one step of the process is carried out using a mixer-extruder.

Composition in the form of an O/W emulsion with a high wax content and uses thereof in cosmetics and dermatology

Cosmetic use of a rigid gel and cosmetic or dermatological compositions therefor

The invention relates to a foaming pulverulent composition for cleaning and/or caring for the skin. The composition includes a cosmetically acceptable binder and a pulverulent filler which is insoluble in the binder and which is present in an amount sufficient to structure the composition and to confer on it the appearance of a deformable solid in which the binder is trapped. The pulverulent filler includes solid particles of thermoplastic polymer and at least one surfactant in pulverulent form. The composition foams when it is hydrated.

Solid foaming pulverulent composition to be hydrated for caring for or cleaning the skin

A solid composition free of fillers, comprising an aqueous phase, wherein said aqueous phase comprises a hydrocolloid combination of gellane gum and at least one other hydrocolloid, wherein said gellane gum is present in an amount of at least 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, and wherein said hydrocolloid combination is present in an amount of less than 20% of the total weight of the composition, formable as tubes, pencils or bars, and useful to care for and/or treat the skin, the scalp, the hair or mucous membranes, to make up the skin and/or keratin fibers such as the eyelashes and the hair, and to style and/or shape keratin fibers, and in particular the hair.

The present application relates to an extruded cosmetic composition, provided in the form of a soft paste, comprising, in a fatty phase, at least one compound having a high melting temperature. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the composition by extrusion.
