Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the cosmetic prevention and/or treatment of stretch marks on the skin, characterised in that the method comprises administering a composition containing arabinogalactan as an active principle to a person that may develop or has stretch marks. Said cosmetic composition can be administered in a topical or oral manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic, nutraceutical or dermatological composition for treating or preventing acne, comprising a peptide and oside extract of Schizandra fruit and a suitable excipient. Preferably, the extract is obtained from Schizandra sphenanthera. The composition may also comprise at least one anti-acne agent selected from a sebum-regulating agent, an antibacterial and/or antifungal agent, a keratolytic agent and/or a keratoregulating agent, an astringent, an anti-inflammatory and/or anti-irritant, an antioxidant and/or a free-radical scavenger, a cicatrizing agent, an anti-ageing agent and a moisturizing agent. The invention also relates to a method for cosmetic treatment of acne, characterized in that a cosmetic composition according to the invention is applied to the affected areas of the skin, or in that the affected individual takes a nutraceutical composition according to the invention orally.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of a rice protein hydrolysate in order to pigment the skin and skin appendages. Thus, it is possible to intensify the normal pigmentation of the skin without sunlight. Preferred areas of applications are repigmentation of white patches of the skin, repigmentation of white patches of the skin as a consequence of pityriasis or due to the use of dermocorticoids; acceleration and intensification of the tanning process, stimulation of the constitutive photoprotection and improvement of the phototype, prevention of skin photocarcinogenesis. Advantageously, the rice protein hydrolysate comprises peptides of which at least 50% have a molecular mass in the range of between 300 and 3,500 Da.
