Abstract: A cosmetic ingredient for cosmetic products has a polymer structure which includes an emollient or film-forming cosmetic polymer which is transparent to light. An organic chromophore molecule is inserted and chemically linked into the polymer, which can be a fixed color molecule or a photochromic molecule capable of rapidly switching from one color to another. The colored or photochromic molecule is inserted and chemically linked by transesterification into a cosmetic oil provided with functionalities which are suitable for the chemical anchoring of the molecule and chemically linked to said oil. The cosmetic oil may be a silicone macrodiol functionalized with a photochromic derivative designed so as to ensure the transition between a colorless state and a colored state following irradiation with ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Native or physically or chemically modified starches, consisting of insoluble native particles with a smooth surface, free of edges, harshness, and roughness of any kind, are used as ingredients for cosmetic compositions. The particles can be of a regular spheroidal shape with diameter between 0.1 and 60 microns or of a lenticular/lamellar shape with diameter between 5 and 60 microns and thickness between 0.5 and 15 microns. Using such starches allows obtaining cosmetic compositions with high aesthetic features.

Abstract: There is described the manufacturing of a support (6) for cosmetic products, which consists of a dry and solidified set of a mixture consisting of non-synthetic ingredients of natural origin only. The support can be manufactured so as to form a base for supporting and anchoring a cosmetic product inside a container (9) or a biodegradable container in the shape of a rigid and self-supporting cosmetic wafer for anhydrous or gel cosmetic products.

Abstract: The production of a cosmetic cake (8) is described, consisting of a base supporting and anchoring layer (6) and an overlapping cosmetic product layer (4), wherein said base layer (6) is formed using a dried and solidified aqueous mixture of only natural non-synthetic ingredients.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising Janus particles, an aqueous phase and an organic phase uses Janus particles produced with a method which includes the preparation of hollow particles (1) having two non-continuous surfaces of a material with surface energy a, of which the external one (2) is accessible and the internal one (3) is inaccessible. The surface energy of the external surface (2) is thereby modified originating particles (11) with internal surface energy a and external surface energy 13. The modified particles (11) are then ground until particles are obtained constituted by small fragments (21) shaped as spherical caps with external surface (12) having modified energy and internal surface (13) having non-modified internal energy.

Abstract: A lipstick (13, 17, 19, 21, 23) with external lateral surface having a tridimensional design is obtained by a process comprising laser-working the external lateral surface of a head part (2), previously mirror-polished, of a rough tap (1). The process may include the final pearling of the lipstick (13, 17, 19, 21, 23) by means of a cyclone system (14) to obtain a pearled lipstick (16, 18, 20, 22, 24).

Abstract: A cosmetic container (1) for applying a lip balm (2). The cosmetic container includes a cap (14), an upper inner shell (19, 149) and a base (16). The base has a lower inner shell (3), a bottom through opening (23), a one piece support frame (30) for supporting the balm. The support frame includes a central hollow hub (36) having a multiplicity of radial through slits (500), and a multiplicity of radial walls (34) partitioning the inside of the lower inner shell (3) into sectors of space (18).

Abstract: Biodegradable copolymers for cosmetic use are described, obtained by reaction between lactide and a silicone initiator. Said copolymers are used for the preparation of cosmetic products such as lipsticks, facial cosmetic powders, creams, eyeliners, eye shadows.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anhydrous colored cosmetic powder comprising at least one natural or synthetic silicate and at least one dye. During its preparation, such a powder may have contacted an aqueous phase which has subsequently been dried and is not present in its final state. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase comprising at least one colored powder portion, where the colored powder portion comprises at least one natural or synthetic silicate and at least one dye.

Abstract: An innovative process is described for production of coloured powder cosmetic products. The process comprises forming a “slurry” (1) consisting of a powder cosmetic product and of water and/or solvent, pouring the slurry in a container (2) of anti-adhering material with shaped internal bottom (3) and smooth internal sidewalk (4). The slurry (1) poured into the container (2) is subjected to slight pressing by means of a plate (5) superimposed thereon. The process then provides freezing the slurry (1) inside the container (2) with the plate (5) arranged to close the top of the container (2), extracting and overturning the assembly consisting of the slurry (1) and of the plate (5) and putting such assembly (1, 5) into a cooking room.
