Abstract: A cosmetic composition has a combination of honey or royal jelly, and a peptide, including at least the amino acid sequence Gly-X1-X2-Pro-Gly. Applying the composition makes it possible to delay the appearance of the signs of skin aging or to slow down the effects thereof.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition includes, as a cosmetic active agent, a honey from clover (Trifolium repens) or an extract of this honey. A method uses a cosmetic composition, of a honey from clover (Trifolium repens), or an extract of this honey, as an active agent for preventing or delaying the appearance of the signs of aging of the skin or slowing the effects thereof, in particular for restructuring the epidermis, toning the skin and/or promoting the attenuation or resorption of wrinkles or lines, notably on the face and neck. A method of cosmetic care also uses this cosmetic composition.

Abstract: An extract of the orchid Vanda coerulea is used as cosmetic active agent for regulating the cell cycle in the skin to combat or delay the appearance of visible signs of skin aging or slow down the effects thereof. The extract is used in a cosmetic composition or in an anti-aging method for delaying the appearance of signs of skin aging or slowing down the effects thereof to maintain the firmness of the skin and tissues or restore a more radiant complexion to the skin or alternatively combat disorders of pigmentation related to skin aging.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition includes as active agents, a first active agent consisting of an amber extract, and at least one other cosmetically active agent selected from the group consisting of extracts of Bertholletia excelsa, extracts of Potentilla erecta, magnesium aspartate, peptides acting on muscle contraction, particularly acetyl hexapeptide 3, peptides and their derivatives grafted with a fatty acid, particularly a C16 fatty acid, promoting collagen synthesis, particularly palmitoyl oligopeptide pentapeptide 3 or palmitoyl tetrapeptide 7, soy flour hydrolyzates and plant glycolipids, particularly cereal glycosphingolipids and more particularly wheat glycosphingolipids.
