Abstract: Foaming composition for topical application in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, where the size of the droplets of the oily phase D[4,3] is less than or equal to 4 ?m, the oily phase is present in an amount of at least 30% by weight, the composition containing an emulsifying system with an HLB value ranging from 8 to 18, present in an amount of at least 2% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and a foaming system comprising at least one anionic surfactant chosen from alkyl glycol carboxylic acids of formula (I) and salts thereof.

Abstract: Foaming composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein the size of the droplets of the oily phase D[4,3] is less than or equal to 4 ?m, the oily phase is present in more than 30% by weight, the composition containing an emulsifying system and a mixture of foaming surfactants, the oily phase (A)/foaming surfactant mixture (c) weight ratio ranging from 1.5 to 12, an amount of less than or equal to 45% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition being present.

Abstract: A composition containing sodium bicarbonate, an aqueous phase, and a separate oily phase. The presence of sodium bicarbonate makes it possible to obtain good phase separation of the two phases after stirring, and to avoid the formation of foam in the oily phase during stirring. Methods for removing makeup from, cleansing and/or caring for the skin, the lips and/or the eyes, or for haircare.

Abstract: Stable, topically applicable cosmetic/dermatological compositions well suited for artificially tanning or browning human skin and appropriately packaged, comprise at least one dihydroxyacetone (DHA) derivative convertible into DHA and, advantageously, at least one active species for effecting such conversion.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a product for topical application, capable of releasing a cosmetic and/or dermatological active ingredient in and/or on the skin, containing a lipase enzyme and at least one ester precursor of the active ingredient. The ester contains an ester functional group having a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched chain having from 2 to 25 carbon atoms. According to a preferred embodiment, the precursor and lipase are packaged so as not to be in contact with one another until the time of application to the skin.

Abstract: A stabilized cosmetic or dermatological active composition containing a vehicle comprising not more than 10% by weight of water, at least one amphiphilic oil, at least one polyol or polyol derivative selected from the group consisting of C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 glycols, ether derivatives of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 glycol and mixtures thereof, and at least one solvent for oil and water, containing an alcohol functional group.
