Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for obtaining polysaccharides from jatoba seeds, comprising the steps of: a) seed processing (dry process); b) aqueous extraction at 1% to 5% of powder mass per volume, preferably 2% of powder mass per volume; c) precipitation with ethanol 969GL using 1 to 3 times the aqueous extract volume; d) press filtration of the precipitate obtained in (c); e) solublization of the polysaccharides obtained in step (d) with water; and f) drying the polysaccharides obtained in step (e). In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing polysaccharides obtained according to the process defined above and to the use of said polysaccharides.

Abstract: Process for producing a rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas or Enterobacter using andiroba or murumuru seed waste, pertaining to the sector of compounds containing monosaccharide radicals, consists of producing rhamnolipids by a biotechnological process using andiroba or murumuru seed waste, following oil extraction, as a substrate for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter hormaechei or Enterobacter buriae line cultivated in a bioreactor with a non-dispersive aeration system for reducing foam, producing a rhamnolipid content of 10.5 g/L for Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, in bioreactors carried out in a stirred tank with non-dispersive aeration using microporous membranes, particularly of silicone tubes, which allow oxygen to be supplied by diffusion.

Abstract: The present invention provides stable antioxidant cosmetic formulations for topical use comprising green tea extract in combination with additional active compounds having the surprising ability to exert antioxidant effect on the skin, the use stable antioxidant cosmetic formulations, as well as a method for reducing and/or preventing oxidative stress in keratinous tissues.

Abstract: An actuating assembly for dispensing a product under pressure is provided, which includes a shoulder mounted on a device for sampling the product under pressure, and a button with an inner actuator having a upstream spout mounted in a feeding tube and a downstream spout in communication with the upstream spout which terminates in a dispensing outlet, wherein the button has an outer cover with a peripheral skirt and a dispensing hole, and wherein the outer cover is mounted on the actuator in a actuating position in which the hole is arranged opposite the outlet to allow the product to be dispensed through the hole. The button is also axially displaceable with respect to the shoulder in a dispensing and aspiration stroke, and the cover is reversibly mounted on the actuator from an actuating to an inactive position and is arranged in order to prevent axial displacement of the button.

Abstract: The present invention relates to gel cream anti-aging cosmetic compositions in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising sensory ingredients that are suitable for the complete treatment of the skin and also provide specific benefits for day and night care, which complement each other.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cosmetic composition comprising (a) an emulsifier selected from: (i) glyceryloleate citrate combined with a native oil as a viscosity modifier; or (ii) organogel comprising Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Polyacrylic Acid, Xylityl Sesquicaprylate, Glyceryl Stearate, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Sodium Hydroxide and Tocopherol; (b) at most 3 (three) emollient agents; (c) 01 (one) humectant and (d) cosmetically acceptable adjuvants. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to the use of the cosmetic composition according to the present invention as a moisturizing agent to be used on keratinic tissue, particularly skin, and to a method of moisturizing keratinic tissue, particularly skin, comprising applying the cosmetic composition according to the present invention onto said keratinic tissue, particularly skin.
