Abstract: The present invention relates to the precipitation of genipap extract (Genipa americana) for obtaining a substance insoluble in polar and/or non-polar media for applications in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, textile, paint and varnish an food compositions. According to an embodiment of the invention, a process is claimed for the obtainment of substances from genipap extract precipitates comprising the steps of: a) obtaining an extract from a genipap fruit; b) adding an adsorbent substance and a mordent (precipitating agent) to the extract obtained in (a); and c) separating the solid substances precipitated in step (b). In another embodiment, the invention relates to substances from genipap extract precipitates, obtained according to the process of the invention mentioned above. The present invention further relates to a cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food composition, use and method of non-therapeutic treatment using said substances from genipap extract precipitates of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition that provides prolonged moisturizing to the skin and a differentiated sensorial, and may be employed in various types of products. This cosmetic composition comprises olive esters, biosaccharide gum-1, a wetting agent of vegetable origin, an emollient of vegetable origin, a silicone and an oiliness adsorber. Further, the present invention relates to a process of preparing this cosmetic composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-phase cosmetic composition for application to the body, which has a liquid and transparent appearance, becomes a homogeneous mixture after being stirred, the phases raps idly separating when at rest. The composition according to the present invention comprises at least one oily phase and at least one aqueous phase, further comprising a polyol, the oily phase comprising a mixture of at least one mineral oil and at least one vegetable oil, and the aqueous phase comprising a water-soluble salt.

Abstract: The mascara distributor applicator (1) includes: a) a container (3) including a neck (7) threaded externally and a chamber (5) extending in an axial direction with a side wall (6), b) an applicator (8) including a head (9) threaded internally so as to cooperate with the neck by screwing to ensure a sealed closing of the container, a stem (10) attached by its upper extremity to the head and by its lower extremity to a means of application (11). The applicator also includes: c) a hollow outer envelope (21) with at least one opening (28) and at the inside of which the container is fixed in a removable way and d) a hollowed-out cover with at least one opening (25) and inside which the applicator of the cosmetic product is fixed in a removable way.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of compounds of the general formula (I): R?—CONH—X—NR2R3—R4—Y in which R1 represents an alkyl moiety containing 11 to 21 carbon atoms, X stands for a (CH2)n- group and n is an integer from 1 to 6, R2 and R3 independently represent an alkyl moiety with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an hydrogen atom, Y stands for a COO— group, in cosmetic compositions, characterized in that the compound of formula (I): is prepared by reacting the oil from Theo-broma grandiflorum with an amine of the formula (II): H2N—X—NR2R3 and subsequently reaction with sodium monochloroacetic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of preparing bar toilet soap, composed of multiple phases, at least one of them being an opaque phase and at least one being a translucent phase. The translucent phase and the opaque phase(s) are mixed during the process, wherein the translucent phase is incorporated into the opaque phase during the extrusion of this second phase, giving rise to a toilet soap in which one of the phases predominate and the other appears as stripes dispersed in the first one.
