Abstract: Colouring composition, method for obtaining and using same for colouring skin and/or keratin matters.

Abstract: Expression of a messenger RNA which encodes a protein which is expressed by differentiated cells, notably the cells of the skin or appendages thereof, is inhibited by topically administering to said differentiated cells a thus effective amount of at least one double-stranded RNA oligonucleotide, formulated into a topically applicable, physiologically acceptable medium therefor; such regime or regimen is useful for treating a variety of afflictions or conditions, e.g., combating the signs of skin aging, stimulating hair growth or retarding loss thereof, inhibiting cellular proliferation and/or differentiation, etc.

Abstract: Cosmetic/pharmaceutical compositions for promoting hair growth and/or retarding hair loss, and/or for increasing the mean diameter of strands of hair and/or decreasing the heterogeneity thereof, and/or for increasing hair density, and/or for improving the quality and/or the appearance of a head of hair, and/or for inducing repigmentation of the hair, contain thus effective amounts of intimate admixture of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc and selenium values.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one agent for screening out light radiation with a wavelength ranging from 370 to 500 nm as an agent for inhibiting the degradation of endogenous carotenoids present in the skin. The invention is useful for treating skin disorders caused by sunlight (e.g., solar urticaria, actinic dermatitis and pigmentation marks). The invention also relates to novel aminoarylvinyl-s-triazine compounds and to the use thereof as agents for screening out light radiation ranging from 370 to 500 nm.

Abstract: A composition for coloring a keratin material, comprising:

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for predicting evolution of at least one condition of an external body portion of a subject. The method may include receiving first data, receiving second data, generating a forecasted or expected evolution of the at least one condition of the external body portion of the subject based on the first data and the second data, and transmitting to the subject the forecasted evolution. The first data may be representative of at least one condition of the external body portion of the subject in a first time frame. The second data may be representative of the at least one condition of the external body portion of the subject in a second time frame occurring after the first time frame. A beauty product may be applied to the external body portion between the first and second time frames.

Abstract: A composition for coloring keratin fibers comprises, a physiologically acceptable medium and an efficacious quantity of at least one coloring material precursor selected from the compounds containing at least one aromatic ring having at least two hydroxyl groups borne by two adjacent carbon atoms of the aromatic ring, an efficacious quantity of at least one oxidation base of the para or ortho type selected from the aromatic amines, and an efficacious quantity of a catalytic system comprising a first constituent selected from the group consisting of salts and oxides of Mn(II) and/or Zn(II) and their mixtures, and a second constituent selected from the group consisting of alkali hydrogen carbonates, alkaline earth hydrogen carbonates and their mixtures. Keratin fibers may be colored by the application of this composition thereto.

Abstract: A composition, which includes:

Abstract: The invention concerns the use for topical application of at least an anthocyanic pigment as cosmetic anti-pollution agent, and cosmetic compositions based on anthocyanic pigments and/or plant extract containing an anthocyanic pigment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for densification of the hair, comprising a stage of application to the hair and/or the scalp of a composition consisting, in a physiologically acceptable medium, of an effective quantity of at least one precursor of densification chosen from among the compounds comprising at least one aromatic cycle having at least two hydroxyl groups borne by two consecutive carbon atoms of the aromatic cycle and an effective quantity of a catalytic system comprising one first constituent chosen from among the salts and oxides of Mn(II) and/or Zn(II) and mixtures thereof and a second constituent chosen from among the alkaline hydrogenocarbonates, the alkaline-earth hydrogenocarbonates and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A method, device and system for determining skin type. The method includes a step of applying at least one drop of substance onto a zone of the skin or on a collector member previously in contact with the zone of the skin. The substance can modify at least one physicochemical property of the surface of the zone or of the collector member exposed to the substance. After the drop has disappeared or been removed, the extent of the surface is evaluated and the skin type is determined as a function of this evaluation.

Abstract: Tinctorial composition improving the natural pigmentation, method for obtaining and using same for skin and/or keratin matters.

Abstract: The use of an effective amount of at least one bradykinin antagonist as the active principle in a physiologically acceptable medium in a cosmetic composition or for preparing a drug is disclosed. The antagonist or drug is intended to induce and/or stimulate hair growth, and/or control hair loss.

Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the invention may provide beauty advice. Personal information about a subject may be obtained. The personal information may include at least demographic information about the subject. The demographic information may include a geographic location of the subject. Based on the demographic information, local information may be determined. Then, based on the personal information and the local information, at least one recommendation for use of at least one beauty product may be generated and presented.

Abstract: A method of tracking progress of a beauty treatment regimen is disclosed. A typical individual undergoing the beauty treatment regimen may exhibit at least one indicia of progress. The indicia of progress may be substantially imperceptible to un-enhanced sensory faculties, such as vision and touch, of a typical human in at least one stage of the beauty treatment regimen. The method may include prescribing a beauty treatment regimen to the individual, tracking the indicia of progress with respect to the individual, and advising the individual about positive progress in the beauty treatment regimen.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus consistent with the present invention may be used to provide subjects with information reflecting cosmetic product usage. At least one cosmetic product may be distributed to a beauty facility. Images of an external body condition of subject may be captured before and after the use of cosmetic products. Information reflecting the use of cosmetic products may then be presented to the subject, thereby allowing the subject to track beauty care progress.
