Abstract: The invention concerns a cosmetic composition, in particular for the hair, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium of the oil-in-water emulsion type, solid particles containing at least 10 wt. % of at least a silicate. The invention is characterised in that: the number average primary size of globules forming the oil phase ranges between 1 and 40 &mgr;m; the silicate particles contain less than 1 wt. % of aluminium; the composition contains between 5 and 50 wt. % relative to the total weight of the composition of at least a C1-C4 alcohol.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cosmetic composition, in particular for the hair, packaged in an aerosol device containing a propellant and a liquid phase which comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: (i) solid particles containing at least 10 wt. % of at least a silicate, and (ii) at least a polymer selected among fixing polymers, thickening polymers or a mixture thereof; said solid particles contain at least 1 wt. % of aluminium.

Abstract: The invention concerns aerosol devices comprising a container which contains, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, a multiple block polymer including at least a polyurethane and/or polyurea unit and at least a fixing polymer whereof the glass transition temperature is not less than 40° C., said devices being suitable for obtaining an initial aerosol flow rate not less than 0.55 grams per second. The invention also concerns a method for hair styling or hair setting comprising the use of said devices and their use for making an aerosol lacquer or spray.

Abstract: An aqueous shampoo composition comprising, in addition to water an anionic cleansing surfactant, a cationic polymer, and a monoalkyl quaternary ammonium compound in which the alkyl chain length is C8 to C14.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition packaged in an aerosol device comprising a liquid phase and a propellant. The liquid phase comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, nanoparticles comprising at least 10% by weight of alumina and exhibiting a number-average primary size of between 2 and 200 nm. The propellant is chosen from dimethyl ether, C3-5 alkanes, 1,1-difluoroethane, mixtures of dimethyl ether and of C3-5 alkanes or mixtures of 1,1-difluoroethane and of dimethyl ether and/or of C3-5 alkanes. The invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of the hair and to the use as styling product.
