Abstract: A dispenser for cosmetic, cleansing or pharmaceutical composition including a tubular sleeve for housing the whole of a movable sub-assembly in the storage position thereof in such a way that the head of the movable sub-assembly is not accessible. A locking mechanism prevents outward movement of the movable sub-assembly in the storage position relative to the sleeve. When a user axially depresses the head in the opposite direction to the outward direction, the locking mechanism releases the movable sub-assembly, which is urged outward by a spring at least as a position I which the head projects outward from the sleeve.

Abstract: A cosmetic method for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines by a tightening effect, includes the application to the skin of a composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an interpolymer including at least one polyurethane and at least one copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and a silicone monomer.

Abstract: Cosmetic water-in-oil emulsion compositions containing solid particles and high concentrations of a specific silicone elastomer and including high content of polysilicon-11, solid particles providing at least one optical effect, and at least one silicon emulsifier are suitable for use for making up the face and/or lips or eyelids, preferably as foundations. They may also be used to as a base for make-up, or as a skin care cream to be applied on the body or face. These compositions result in a product that enhances the overall appearance of the skin by providing strong blurring effects to give anti-wrinkle/fine line effects, skin smoothness, and radiance while unifying color complexion. These compositions also have unique sensorial properties.

Abstract: A container for a solid, liquid, paste or powder cosmetic product, comprising a product applicator element having a transverse face and a tubular storage element elongate in a longitudinal direction and having a bottom and an annular end, the applicator element being mounted in the tubular storage element, is characterized in that the applicator element is a friction fit in the tubular storage element and bears against a mobile part slidably mounted in the tubular element and connected thereto by an elastically compressible device with two axial retraction configurations relative to an axial depression configuration, the two axial retraction configurations respectively defining a first configuration of the applicator element in which its transverse face is flush with the annular end of the tubular element and a second configuration in which its transverse face projects relative to that annular end of the tubular element to a given distance that is significantly greater than the axial depression travel of the
