Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: A) a continuous aqueous phase and B) an oily phase dispersed in the said aqueous phase and comprising at least one hydrocarbon-based oil; C) at least one mixture consisting of: i) at least one nonionic surfactant containing a saturated linear hydrocarbon-based chain comprising at least 16 carbon atoms, the said surfactant being other than a fatty alcohol, and ii) at least one fatty alcohol in pure form containing at least 16 carbon atoms or a mixture consisting exclusively of fatty alcohols containing at least 16 carbon atoms; D) at least one wax with a melting point of greater than 45° C. comprising one or more C40-C70 ester compounds and not comprising any C20-C39 ester compounds, in an amount from 1 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition and E) at least one water-soluble polysaccharide; the said composition having a viscosity, measured at 25° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dispensing device comprising: a) a container comprising a deformable wall, and b) a composition stored in the container, and comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: i) at least one aqueous phase, and ii) optionally at least one oily phase, iii) at least one structuring agent; the said composition having a stiffness modulus G*>5000 Pa, and c) a dispensing head closing off the container and comprising an application wall defining at least one product dispensing orifice which is a slit. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating and/or caring for human keratin materials, characterized in that it consists in applying to the surface of the keratin material a composition dispensed via the device as defined previously.

Abstract: The invention relates to a Pickering-type emulsion, in particular a cosmetic emulsion, comprising: (a) at least one synthetic phyllosilicate of molecular formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2; (b) at least one aqueous phase; and (c) at least one oil phase. The invention also relates to the use of the synthetic phyllosilicate as an agent for stabilising the emulsion, a method for producing the emulsion, and a cosmetic treatment method comprising the application of the emulsion to the skin and/or nails.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, in particular cosmetic, comprising: (a) at least one synthetic phyllosilicate with molecular formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 in the form of an aqueous or hydroalcoholic gel; and (b) at least one electrolyte and/or at least one polyelectrolyte. The present invention also relates to a method for cosmetic treatment of the skin and/or nails, comprising the application of said composition to the skin and/or the nails, as well as a cosmetic method for treating perspiration and possibly body odour linked to human perspiration, in particular odours from the armpits and the feet, characterised in that it consists of applying said composition to the surface of the skin and, specifically, to the armpits and/or the feet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic gel of synthetic phyllosilicate of formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 in a cosmetic composition. A cosmetic composition comprising such a gel and also cosmetic processes for caring for and/or making up the skin and/or the nails using such an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic gel of synthetic phyllosilicate are also targeted.
