Abstract: Process for the treatment of, e.g., visible and/or tactile irregularities of human skin, by applying topically, to the skin, a composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least 5% by weight of one or more surfactants comprising at least one alkyl chain having from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Composition in the form of a gel containing at least 35% by weight of water, at least one foaming surfactant chosen from nonionic or amphoteric surfactants, and at least one superabsorbent polymer. The superabsorbent polymer helps to thicken the composition without affecting its cosmetic properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition preferably useful for topical application containing, or in the form of, a fine oil-in-water emulsion, to the process for preparing it and to its use especially for treating, caring for, making up and/or cleansing the skin, the integuments (hair, eyelashes or nails) and/or mucous membranes. In a preferred embodiment the invention emulsion is obtained without the input of energy. The composition may especially be a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition.

Abstract: Composition in the form of a gel containing at least 35% by weight of water, at least one foaming surfactant chosen from nonionic or amphoteric surfactants, and at least one superabsorbent polymer. The superabsorbent polymer helps to thicken the composition without affecting its cosmetic properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing at least one carboxylic ionic surfactant and at least one amphoteric surfactant of the betaine type. The invention composition is preferably a foaming cleansing composition which can be rinsed off with water. The invention further relates to the various uses of the described composition, for example in the cosmetics and dermatological fields, in particular as a product for cleansing or removing makeup from the skin, scalp and/or the hair.

Abstract: Process for the treatment of visible and/or tactile irregularities of human skin, by applying topically, to the skin, a composition containing at least one hydroxy acid chosen from ?-hydroxy acids, ?-hydroxy acids, ?-keto acids, ?-keto acids, and mixtures thereof, and at least one cationic polymer, leaving the composition in contact with the skin for a period of time sufficient for the composition to act, and optionally, removing the composition by rinsing. Associated compositions.

Abstract: An article, preferably a patch, containing: a support in the form of at least one sheet containing fibres that are water-soluble at a temperature of 0-30° C., and a composition carried by the support, containing at least one water-soluble gelling agent which swells in less than 30 seconds in water at a temperature of 20° C. to 30° C.

Abstract: Process for the treatment of, e.g., visible and/or tactile irregularities of human skin, by applying topically, to the skin, a composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least 5% by weight of one or more surfactants comprising at least one alkyl chain having from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Composition in the form of a gel containing at least 35% by weight of water, at least one foaming surfactant chosen from nonionic or amphoteric surfactants, and at least one superabsorbent polymer. The superabsorbent polymer helps to thicken the composition without affecting its cosmetic properties.

Abstract: Composition containing (1) at least one foaming surfactant and (2) concave and/or annular particles of silicone material, in particular in the form of portions of hollow spheres, and (3) at least 20% by weight of water. The composition exhibits good foaming properties and gives in particular a fine and soft foam.

Abstract: Process for the treatment of human skin, by applying topically onto the skin a composition containing in a physiologically acceptable medium (i) at least one hydroxy acid selected from the ?-hydroxy acids, ?-hydroxy acids, ?-keto acids, ?-keto acids and mixtures thereof, and (ii) at least 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of one or more surfactants containing an alkyl chain having from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.

Abstract: An article, containing: a support in the form of at least one sheet containing fibres that are water-soluble at a temperature of 0-30° C., and a composition carried by the support, containing at least one foaming surfactant chosen from acylamino acid compounds.

Abstract: Aerosol product containing an oily composition containing at least one oil, and at least one hydrocarbon compound having a melting point greater than or equal to 30° C., the compound being in the form of solid particles and one or more propellants. The hydrocarbon compound can notably be a paraffin or a fatty acid amide. Used for cleaning and/or make-up removal of the skin and/or of the hair, care of the skin and/or of the hair, for protecting the skin against the sun, and for make-up of the skin.

Abstract: A foaming composition suitable for topical application, containing, in an aqueous medium, one or more fatty acid salts in an amount of at least 20% of the total weight of the composition, and at least one surfactant chosen from behenyl alcohol nonionic surfactants and behenic acid nonionic surfactants. The compositions may be in the form of creams or milks, and show very good stability even after heating to very high temperature. They may be used especially in cosmetics or dermatology, as cleansing or makeup-removing products for the skin, the scalp and/or the hair.
