Abstract: A cosmetic composition containing plant extracts is disclosed. The composition has anti-free radical action, anti-aging and stimulates reduced glutathione auto-synthesis. The plant extracts are solvent extracts from Spondias mombin, Maprounea guianesis, Waltheria indica, Gouania blanchetiana, Cordia schmoburgkii, Randia armata and Hibiscus furcellatus.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of at least one protein extract of the Moringa genus plant seeds and a cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition containing at least one such extract. More particularly, the invention concerns the use of a protein extract of the Moringa genus plant seeds belonging to the Moringaceae family, as active principle, on its own or combined with at least another active principle, for preparing a cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition for topical use on the skin and/or skin appendages.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to use at least one lipid extract obtained from the fruit seeds of the mirabelle tree as an agent for preparing a cosmetic product for locally active (topical) use for skin and hair, lips, mucous membranes and/or appendages of the skin.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of an extract of the Terminalia catappa plant, as well as cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical compositions containing such an extract. The invention also concerns the use of an extract of the Terminalia catappa plant with other active compounds, in a cosmetic, dermatological and/or pharmaceutical composition for external topical use for the skin or superficial body growth.

Abstract: A method for the enzymatic synthesis of sucrose ester, comprises introducing, in an adapted reactor and so as to form a reaction medium, predetermined amounts of an organic solvent, a sugar or a sugar derivative, a compound donor of acyl groups and an enzymatic catalyst, the amount of at least one constituent of the reaction mixture being deficient, in controlled addition during the reaction of additional amounts of the deficient constituent(s), and finally purifying the resulting sucrose esters at least by separating the fine enzymatic particles from the solvent.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of an extract of the Terminalia catappa plant, as well as cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical compositions containing such an extract. The invention also concerns the use of an extract of the Terminalia catappa plant with other active compounds, in a cosmetic, dermatological and/or pharmaceutical composition for external topical use for the skin or superficial body growth.

Abstract: Topical active composition against the effects of cold, which is constituted by 0.1% to 30% by weight of polysaccharides comprising at least glycogen and at least one mucilage extracted from conifer, by 45% to 95% by weight of vegetable proteins extracted from legumes and by 0.1% to 25% by weight of amino acids selected from the group consisting of threonine, serine, proline and alanine.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of an extract of the Terminalia catappa plant, as well as cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical compositions containing such an extract.

Abstract: The use of at least an Irvingia gabonensis extract, in particular Irvingia gabonensis seeds, as active agent(s) for preparing a cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical product for topical use on the skin and/or superficial body growth, the extract being present between 0.05% and 50.00% by weight.

Abstract: The invention concerns a synergetic complex designed in particular for being incorporated in a cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparation for topical use on the skin and/or superficial body growth this complex is characterized in that it contains at least an extract of Pisum Sativum seeds rich in peptides, an extract of a plant of the Meliaceae family, rich in tannin and/or coumarin derivatives and, if required, at least an amino acid in the form of complex salt(s).

Abstract: A process is provided for the production of glycogens or an extract rich in glycogens from yeast cells, and a cosmetic composition containing them. A given quantity of yeast cells, from a specific culture or recovered as residues of a fermentation process, is subjected to an operation of enrichment in intracellular glycogens by culturing in two phases in the presence of a carbon source. The metabolism of the yeast cells is then stopped. The membranes of the yeast cells are then at least partially disintegrated to free intracellular substances, and the freed intracellular substances are subjected to at least one precipation to precipitate glycogens. A cosmetic composition comprising the glycogens is formulated in admixture with a dermatologically acceptable excipient.
