Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, especially a cosmetic composition, characterized in that it comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: (a) at least one photoprotective system capable of screening out UV radiation; (b) one or more carboxylic acid esters, said ester comprising at least 24 carbon atoms; (c) at least one C8-C30alkyl(poly)glycoside. The present invention also relates to the use of a carboxylic acid ester in a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one photoprotective system capable of screening out UV radiation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: an aqueous phase; spiculisporic acid; at least one sulfate and/or sulfonate surfactant; and at least one organic base; wherein the ratio R of the number of moles of organic base over the number of moles of spiculisporic acid is strictly greater than 1.

Abstract: This invention concerns a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an aqueous phase, spiculisporic acid and/or one of its salts, and at least one ester of fatty acid and optionally polyoxyalkylenated (poly)glycerol. This invention further concerns the non-therapeutic, cosmetic use of the cosmetic composition as a hygienic product, makeup, a cleaning product, and/or care product of the skin and/or hair.

Abstract: The subject-matter of the present invention is an anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one anionic surfactant, at least 25% of at least one filler. The article is partially or completely soluble in water and it constitutes a foaming product used for cleansing the skin and hair and/or removing makeup from the skin and/or as scrubbing product.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions comprising at least one xanthine compound, preferably further comprising at least one agent which acts on capillary circulation and/or at least one natural moisturizing agent, which can be used to treat, or to reduce and/or minimize the appearance of, defects such as dark circles, bags and/or puffiness around eyes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) one or more alcohols comprising at least 20 carbon atoms, b) one or more fatty acid esters, said ester comprising at least 24 carbon atoms, and being selected among A) those corresponding to the formula (I) below: R—COO—R???(I) in which: R and R?, which may be identical or different, denote a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, hydrogenated or non-hydrogenated hydrocarbon-based group comprising from 12 to 30 carbon atoms and preferably from 14 to 24 carbon atoms, and B) di- or triesters of glycerol and of C12-C30 fatty acids; and c) at least one or more thickeners which are not xanthan gum. Another subject of the invention is a process for mattifying the skin and/or reducing the shininess thereof. Another subject of the invention is the use of said fatty acid ester as agent for mattifying keratin materials such as the skin.
