Abstract: Disclosed is a method for building a neural network tool to determine, by processing a picture of a human face, a score representative of a qualitative feature of the face, including performing a training session of an initial neural network to assess, from the picture, an estimated age of the person. The initial neural network includes layers of neurons and associated weights, and each training session is performed on a first database of face images with associated ages, and each training session outputs an updated version of the neural network with adjusted weights. For each updated version of the initial neural network corresponding to a training session, evaluating an error of part of the initial neural network on another database of images with each associated with a reference score representing the qualitative feature, selecting the part of the initial neural network in the updated version corresponding to the minimum.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for analyzing facial features of a person, including the steps of: acquiring a picture of the face of the person; delimiting, on the picture, at least two zones of the face of the person; processing the picture to determine contrast values of each of the at least two zones; and based on the determined contrast values, determining a cluster to which the person pertains among a plurality of pre-established clusters, with the pre-established clusters being elaborated based on a set of contrast values determined for the same zones of the faces of a reference population in respective pictures of the faces; and providing the person with personalized information, wherein the personalized information depends on the cluster to which the person pertains.

Abstract: A method for post-processing part obtained by additive manufacturing through sintering of a plastic powder, in order to remove particles detached from the part or partially sintered, the method including, consecutively, stripping (S1) and ionizing blowing (S2). Such a method makes it possible to remove particles having a largest dimension greater than a given dimension. The invention also relates to a corresponding manufacturing method of a plastic material part, and to a corresponding production method.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cosmetic product applicator including a gripping part and an applicator part having bristles or teeth. The method includes additive manufacturing (S1) by sintering a powder of a plastics material followed by depowdering (S2) and post-treatment for the removal of particles that have become detached from the cosmetic product applicator or are partially sintered, the post-treatment including blasting (S4) and ionizing blowing (S5). This method allows the removal of particles likely to be irritating, for example with a size greater than 500 micrometers, while being suitable for industrial production. The invention also relates to an associated production method.

Abstract: A cosmetic article includes a reservoir of make-up product including a collar having a hole, and a stopper having at least one screw thread and being configured to be screwed onto the reservoir to close the article. The stopper further has at least one scraper that is configured to clean the collar of the reservoir when closing the article.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological composition including, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a hydrophilised extract of peppermint stems and use of such a composition as an antioxidant in a cosmetic or dermatological composition.

Abstract: A method for modelling age-related traits of a face, from a picture of the face is provided, wherein the age-related traits are either wrinkles or age spots, the method including: for each age-related trait of the face of the same nature, generating a vector including parameters of shape and appearance of the trait; and generating, from the generated vectors, a single representation vector modeling the age-related traits of the same nature in the face. The single representation vector stores information regarding the number of traits in the face and joint probabilities, over the face, of the shape and appearance features of the traits.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a plant extract enriched in polyphenols and/or substantially free of simple sugars, as well as the plant extract thus obtained, which may be added to a cosmetic composition. Also, the use of a yeast of the variety Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. bayanus for the removal of simple sugars in a plant extract.

Abstract: A fermented extract of aerial parts of Citrus aurantium and the process for obtaining it. The fermented extract may be added to a cosmetic composition. Also, the use of a fermented extract of Citrus aurantium to combat skin ageing, and also as an antioxidant active agent, to prevent/reduce oxidative stress and/or to detoxify the skin.

Abstract: The cosmetic article including a cosmetic product reserve, and at least two meshes, one upstream and one downstream relative to the direction in which the product is discharged from the article, said meshes including through-holes and being arranged such that the product passes through the upstream mesh and subsequently through the downstream mesh.

Abstract: An in vitro method for screening for candidate compounds for preventing and/or attenuating skin ageing, and/or hydrating skin, includes: a) contacting a test compound with a sample of papillary fibroblasts; b) measuring the expression of a gene selected from PDPN, CCRL1 and NTN1, in the papillary fibroblasts; and c) selecting compounds for which an activation of at least 1.5 fold of the expression of at least one of the genes is measured in the treated papillary fibroblasts compared with untreated papillary fibroblasts. Another in vitro method includes: a) contacting a test compound with a sample of reticular fibroblasts; b) measuring the expression of a gene selected from MGP, PPP1R14A and TGM2, in the reticular fibroblasts; and c) selecting compounds for which an activation of at most 1.0 fold of the expression of at least one of the genes is measured in the treated reticular fibroblasts compared with untreated reticular fibroblasts.

Abstract: The invention concerns a refill (2) intended to be inserted into a makeup case (1). The refill (2) comprises a vessel containing a liquid makeup, the vessel comprising a tank (6) comprising an open top face forming an opening for dispensing the makeup. The tank (6) is delimited by a side wall (18) in line with the opening and a bottom (22) of the tank. The refill (2) comprises an absorbent complex (7) in the tank (6). The vessel further comprises at least one additional volume (13) outside the tank (6), in fluid communication with the inside of said tank (6). This helps optimise the volume available for containing a liquid make-up, while allowing the latter to be effectively retained in the refill. The invention also concerns an assembly comprising a case (1) and such a refill (2).

Abstract: A method for producing a nonaqueous composition for external use on the skin including a strongly hydrophilic amphiphilic solid active ingredient-surfactant complex dissolved or dispersed in an oil phase, the method including the steps of: dissolving a surfactant in an oil phase to obtain a surfactant solution; mixing the obtained surfactant solution with a strongly hydrophilic amphiphilic solid active ingredient to obtain a suspension; and allowing the obtained suspension to stand still to obtain a transparent composition. Unlike conventional methods for preparing S/O formulations, the strongly hydrophilic amphiphilic solid active ingredient can be solubilized in an oil phase without the process of emulsification and freeze drying.
