Abstract: The invention relates to the non-therapeutic use of a composition comprising at least one 1,4:3,6 dianhydrohexitol for moisturising the skin, as well as to a preparation for topical use comprising at least one 1,4:3,6 dianhydrohexitol as a moisturising agent.

Abstract: The present application pertains to the field of cosmetics, more specifically the field of topical care of bad odors, by the action of a bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic topical composition, and of capturing odors. The topical composition according to the invention comprises at least one cyclodextrin, a 1,4-3, 6-dianhydrohexitol and/or a 1,4-3, 6-dianhydrohexitol derivative. It can be useful for the oral sphere, but also for areas of the skin where bad odors may develop due to microbial activity, namely the underarms, crotch and feet. Preferably, the topical composition of the invention is used for treating the oral sphere, most preferably for treating halitosis.

Abstract: The present application pertains to the field of cosmetics, more specifically the field of antimicrobial and/or bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal cosmetic agents, preferentially acting on bacterial and/or fungal strains on the human epidermis. Proposed is a use of dianhydrohexitol, preferentially isosorbide, to reduce the number of bacterial or fungal strains on the skin, in particular in the cutaneous microbiome, causing acne, dandruff buildup and bad odors.

Abstract: The present application pertains to the field of cosmetics, more specifically the field of antimicrobial and/or bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal and/or antifungal cosmetic agents, preferably acting on bacterial and/or fungal strains in cosmetic preparations. Proposed is a use of dianhydrohexitol, preferably isosorbide, to reduce or eliminate the effects of the degradation of said preparation contaminated by microorganisms of the human cutaneous microbiome.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of film-forming agents for cosmetic or dermatological use, that are capable of conferring a barrier effect or a fixative effect on a cosmetic preparation. The barrier effect makes it possible to protect the skin from environmental pollution, for example microparticles and volatile organic compounds, and more particularly from urban atmospheric pollution. The fixative effect makes it possible to reduce or eliminate the transfer of pigments and/or dyes, and to increase the hold of the hairstyle or the shaping of head hair, body hair or eyelashes.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical composition and their uses are disclosed, the composition comprising at least one methyl cyclodextrin having a molar substitution (MS) degree of between 0.05 and 1.5 in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases that can be treated and/or prevented by an increase in the HDL cholesterol level.

The O/W emulsifier of natural origin can be selected from alkyl polyglucosides, mixtures of at least one alkyl polyglucoside and at least one fatty alcohol, and non-ethoxylated polyol fatty esters. The application also relates to a composition of the Pickering emulsion type, in particular for cosmetic use, containing the emulsifying composition according to the invention, and to the process for preparing such a composition of the O/W Pickering emulsion type, in particular at low temperatures.

Abstract: The subject matter of the application is a film-forming system, preferably for cosmetic use, made up of at least one pregelatinsed starch and of at least one non-starch polysaccharide selected from: gums of plant origin, preferably gums originating from algae or plants, gums of microbial origin, and cellulose derivatives. The film-forming system according to the invention provides a barrier effect, in particular against air pollution. The application also relates to a method for manufacturing such a film-forming system and to the cosmetic compositions, in particular topical compositions, containing said film-forming system, such as skincare products, hair care products, make-up products, solar protection products, hygiene products or perfumes.
