Abstract: The present invention relates to non-washing cosmetic compositions containing, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one nonionic guar gum and at least one non-crosslinked anionic polymer. The invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of keratin substances, such as the hair or the eyelashes, characterized in that it consists in applying a cosmetic composition as defined above to the keratin substances, and then possibly in rinsing with water.

Abstract: A method using at least one guar gum as the sole shape-retention and/or shaping agent in cosmetic compositions intended for a temporary shaping of keratin fibres, and a method for the temporary shaping and/or deformation of keratin fibres, in particular in the shape of a hairsetting, using this compound.

Abstract: Solid, non-detergent and non-tacky cosmetic compositions having a water absorption capacity greater than 50 mg are disclosed. Said compositions are generally provided as sticks, pencils or bars and may be used to produce a variety of solid products for make-up, for skin, scalp, hair or mucosal care and/or treatment, and for styling and/or setting keratin fibres such as hair.

Abstract: A non-washing cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one guar gum and at least one oxyalkylenated silicone in a guar gum/silicone weight ratio of less than or equal to 5:1, and a process for the treatment of the skin or keratinous fibres comprising the step of applying a non-washing cosmetic composition as defined above to the skin or to the keratinous fibres and optionally rinsing the skin or keratinous fibres with water.

Abstract: Pressurised cosmetic compositions provided in pressurised form in an aerosol device in the presence of a propellant, and capable of forming a foam, are disclosed. Said compositions comprise a cosmetically acceptable medium containing at least one binding polymer, at least one oxyalkylene silicone and at least 30 wt % of a water-soluble solvent having a boiling point lower than 85.degree. C. Foams produced by the expansion in air of said cosmetic compositions are also disclosed. Furthermore, a method for cosmetically treating keratin fibres such as hair, wherein a foam produced by the expansion in air of said cosmetic composition is applied to said keratin fibres, is disclosed.

Abstract: Compositions for the treatment and protection of the exoskeletal parts, in particular the hair and the eyelashes, characterized in that they contain, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one ceramide and/or one glycoceramide and at least one vinylpyrrolidone polymer are disclosed. A process which uses these compositions for the nonwashing treatment of the exoskeletal parts, in particular of the hair and the eyelashes is also disclosed, as is a cosmetic treatment process making use of these compositions.
