Abstract: A subject of the present invention is a composition comprising: a) at least one sebum-absorbing powder with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or at least one styling powder; b) at least one aluminium salt other than the sebum-absorbing powders with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or than the styling powders; c) optionally a propellant. A subject of the present invention is also to a process for the thy-washing and cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising a step of applying the composition to the hair.

Abstract: A subject of the present invention is an anhydrous composition comprising: a) at least particles encapsulating at least one beneficial agent, the particles being able to release the beneficial agent in the presence of water; b) at least one sebum-absorbing powder with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or at least one styling powder other than the particles encapsulating at least one beneficial agent; c) optionally a propellant. A subject of the present invention is also to a process for the dry-washing and cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising a step of applying the composition to the hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aerosol device comprising: —a container containing: —one or more propellants, and—a composition comprising one or more sebum-absorbing powders with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, the propellant(s) possibly being present in the composition or, in the container, separate from the composition, —a means for dispensing the said aerosol composition, comprising a diffuser equipped with at least two, and better three, spray orifices (22). The invention also relates to a process for the dry-washing and cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising a step of applying to the hair the cosmetic composition, sprayed from the particular aerosol device.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aerosol device comprising: —a container containing: —one or more propellants, and —a composition comprising one or more fixing polymers and/or one or more styling powders comprising one or more water-insoluble inorganic compounds, the propellant or propellants possibly being present in the composition or in the container, separate from the composition, —a means for distributing said aerosol composition, comprising a diffuser having at least three spraying apertures for spraying the composition in a main spraying direction. The invention further provides a method for shaping the hair and/or maintaining the style, comprising a step of applying to the wet or dry hair a cosmetic composition sprayed from a specific aerosol device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of shaving the skin, in particular the facial skin of men, using a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one salicylic acid derivative of formula in which: R represents a linear, branched or cyclic, saturated aliphatic chain containing from 3 to 11 carbon atoms; an unsaturated aliphatic chain containing from 3 to 17 carbon atoms bearing one or more conjugated or nonconjugated double bonds; an aromatic nucleus linked to the carbonyl radical directly or by means of saturated or unsaturated aliphatic chains containing from 2 to 7 carbon atoms; it being possible for said R groups to be substituted with one or more substituents, which may be identical or different, chosen from halogen atoms, a trifluoromethyl group, a hydroxyl group in free form or in a form esterified with an acid containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or else with a carboxyl function, which is free or esterified with a C1-C6 alcohol; R? represents a hydroxyl group or an

Abstract: One subject of the invention is a soap-free, self-foaming gel comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: a) at least one aqueous phase; b) at least one N-acylsarcosine where the acyl radical is a C10-C20 radical in an amount less than 4 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition; c) at least one mineral or organic base in an amount sufficient to dissolve the N-acylsarcosine and produce a pH of 4 to 8; d) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant; e) at least one non-ionic surfactant; and f) at least one self-foaming agent. The present invention also relates to a shaving method consisting in applying a self-foaming gel as defined above to the surface of the skin to be shaved, then in shaving the hairs using a razor. The present invention also relates to a method for cleansing the skin and more particularly the face, consisting in applying a self-foaming gel as defined above to the surface, followed by rinsing with water.

Abstract: Provided is a method of shaving, using a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one salicylic acid derivative of formula R represents a saturated aliphatic chain containing 3 to 11 carbon atoms; an unsaturated aliphatic chain containing 3 to 17 carbon atoms bearing one or more conjugated or nonconjugated double bonds; an aromatic nucleus linked to the carbonyl radical directly or by means of saturated or unsaturated aliphatic chains containing 2 to 7 carbon atoms; said R groups may be substituted; R? represents a hydroxyl group or an ester function of formula (II) below: R1 represents a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic chain containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and/or salt thereof. Also provided is using the above derivative, in a shaving composition, to facilitate shaving and/or to decrease or eliminate ingrown hairs.
