Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel natural composition comprising sclerotium gum, xanthan gum and pullulan and intended for preparing cosmetic and dermatologic compositions, to the uses thereof, and to the cosmetic and dermatologic compositions containing said novel natural composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to chemical compositions comprising two thickening components, which are sclerotium gum and a copolymer selected from the group consisting of methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer and acryloyldimethyltaurate vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, in particular the ammonium salt of the latter; which components provide good thickening properties in the presence of electrolytes, in particular in the presence of ethanolamine or vitamin salts. Further there are provided cosmetic formulations comprising these thickening components.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of the necessities of life and more particularly to the field of cosmetics, hygiene and skin products. More specifically it relates to aqueous, fluid or gelled, cosmetic compositions intended to be applied to the skin, the mucous membranes or the teguments, characterized in that they contain, as active ingredient, a gelling and/or thickening agent formed from a combination of three constituents, namely a polyacrylamide and ammonium acrylate copolymer and/or an anionic acrylic copolymer, lecithins or phospholipids of plant origin, and a polyglyceryl acylate, in combination or in a mixture with excipients or appropriate vehicles for topical use. These compositions can incorporate other appropriate active ingredients in particular for use in cosmetics. Use in cosmetics or in skin products for the production of perfectly stable emulsions, gels, or creams.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions comprising an ethanolamine derivative and an organic salt of zinc and/or magnesium. It further relates to the use of such compositions in topical formulations, in particular in anti-aging formulations. The invention further relates to the use of such compositions to promote human dermal fibroblasts growth and to combat the effects of skin aging.

Abstract: This invention relates to stable compositions comprising an ethanolamine derivative and one or more glucosides (in particular melibiose and lactose). It further relates to the use of such compositions in cosmetic preparations, in particular in anti-aging formulations. The invention further relates to the use of such compositions to promote normal human dermal fibroblasts growth and to stimulate collagen synthesis. It further concerns a process for preparing such compositions.
