Abstract: The present invention relates to the cosmetic use of an essential oil of Achillea, as an active agent for preventing and/or treating the signs of skin ageing, characterized in that this essential oil of Achillea comprises the following compounds, each present at more than 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the essential oil: artemisia ketone, chrysanthenone (two combined isomers), and ascaridole. It also relates to the associated cosmetic process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the cosmetic use of the essential oil of Laserpitium siler L., as an active agent for preventing and/or treating the signs of aging or photoaging of the skin and as an antioxidant. It also targets a method for cosmetic treatment of the skin in order to combat the signs of skin aging or photoaging and/or to prevent and/or treat skin disorders induced by an oxidative stress and also a composition comprising an essential oil of Laserpitium siler L.

Abstract: Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (“LIF”), an LIF analogue, an LIF mimetic and a product capable of stimulating the expression of endogenous LIF, and mixtures thereof are useful, for (i) promoting the multiplication, in vitro, of a population of human skin stem cells and/or epidermal progenitors while maintaining them in an undifferentiated state, and/or for (ii) maintaining and/or increasing their capacity to generate a pluristratified epithelium, in particular a pluristratified epidermis and/or all or some of the skin appendages; also a library or a culture of human undifferentiated skin stem cells and/or epidermal progenitors is obtained in the presence of LIF, as are reconstructed epidermides and/or reconstructed skin, and kits for producing libraries of cells or reconstructed epidermides, and stem cells or reconstructed epidermides are prepared for the treatment of individuals exhibiting damaged skin (individuals suffering from third degree burns and individuals suffering from genetic diseases affecting the ski

Abstract: Leukemia inhibitory factor (“LIF”), an LIF analogue, an LIF mimetic, a product capable of stimulating the expression of endogenous LIF and mixtures thereof are useful for maintaining and/or stimulating the regenerative power of a population of human undifferentiated skin stem cells and/or epidermal progenitors, and are also useful for treating dry and/or chapped and/or aged skin and/or hair loss, as well as for treating skin burns and promoting skin regeneration and/or cicatrization.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one EcR receptor ligand in a cosmetic or dermatological preparation for maintaining cutaneous homeostasis. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment process for maintaining cutaneous homeostasis, which consists in applying a composition according to the invention.

Abstract: Synergistic immixtures of ascorbic acid with at least one monosaccharide ester of ascorbic acid and/or at least one metal salt of phosphorylated ascorbic acid more effectively increase the synthesis of epidermal ceramides in human skin, especially types IV to VII ceramides, as well as improve the barrier function, moisture content and/or suppleness/surface appearance of the skin and which otherwise combat/prevent intrinsic aging thereof and are useful for the treatment of dermatitis.

Abstract: The invention concerns a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least a ceramide precursor, the use of said compound in particular for reinforcing the lipid barrier of the epidermis and/or for improving the quality and properties of reconstructed epidermis, and a skin equivalent supplemented with said compound.
