Abstract: The invention relates to the non-therapeutic cosmetic use of an extract of agave for improving hair growth and/or the appearance of the hair and/or of the scalp. The invention also relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition which improves hair growth and/or the appearance of the hair and/or of the scalp, comprising extracts of Agave tequilana and a cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable carrier, said composition comprising from 0.05% to 5% by weight of said extracts of Agave tequilana relative to the total weight of the composition, and said extract of agave comprising fructooligosaccharides which have a degree of polymerization of less than or equal to 10 and/or inulins which have a degree of polymerization of from 10 to 60.

Abstract: A method of treating aging of skin including applying a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-aging dermatological care composition including at least one cosmetic formulation agent and oligogalacturonides having a degree of polymerization between 1 and 5 that stimulates adherence of basal keratinocytes to laminin V and/or collagen IV and reduces communication disturbances between a subject's dermis and epidermis and reduces diminishment in interkeratinocyte cohesion within the epidermis, to skin.

Abstract: The present invention related to a method for preventing or treating skin disorders comprising administering to a subject a dermatological composition comprising oligogalacturonides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising ubiquitin in combination with a cosmetically-acceptable medium.

Abstract: A dermatological composition including a therapeutically effective amount of an agent stimulating adherence of basal keratinocytes to laminin V and/or collagen IV that resolves communication disturbances between a subject's dermis and epidermis and diminishment in interkeratinocyte cohesion within the epidermis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous extract rich in nucleic acids from a plant material, in particular from plant embryos or from seeds rich in DNA or in RNA, which consists in:

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of compounds of formula (I) in which R represents a linear or branched, substituted or not substituted, saturated or unsaturated C1-C12 hydrocarbon chain, for stimulating the proliferation of epidermic cells and fibroblasts.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oil-in-water type emulsion for moisturizing the upper layers of the epidermis, comprising a lipid phase dispersed in an aqueous phase. The lipid phase is composed of apolar plant products comprising from 5 to 15% by weight of plant oils and from 6 to 15% by weight of plant waxes. The aqueous phase comprises from 0.5 to 4% by weight of plant gums and from 2 to 7% by weight of polysaccharide-rich plant extracts. The percentages are expressed relative to the total weight of the emulsion. The composition of the preferred oil-in-water emulsion consists of 1 to 3% phosphatidylcholine, 0.5 to 2% guar gum, 0.5 to 2% carob gum, 0.5 to 2% aloe vera powder, 2 to 5% yucca powder, 15 to 40% glycerol, 5 to 10% balanites oil, 5 to 10% jojoba oil, 1 to 5% carnauba wax, and the balance essentially water.
