Abstract: A method for the production of pasty or semisolid cosmetic products in pods with a relief surface finishing provides, for forming said relief surface finishing, to dispose the bottom plate (22) containing the pod (18) on a supporting disc (24) provided with means (35) for retaining the bottom plate in place, the disc (24) being vertically movable in an operating position (36) and a punch (28) adapted to impress said relief surface finishing on the pod being present above the disc (24). An elastic canvas (32) adapted to absorb the oils from the material which makes the cosmetic product during the pressing is advantageously disposed between the pod (18) and the punch (28). The punch (28) is advantageously surrounded by a cylindrical extractor (29) vertically movable with respect to it and intended to push downwards, after the pressing step, the bottom plate (22) with the pod, retained on the disc (24) by the retaining means (35), moving away the pod from the punch (28) and the elastic canvas (32).

Abstract: A cosmetic composition in a form of an aqueous gel may include (percentages by weight referred to weight of the cosmetic composition): greater than or equal to 5% and less than or equal to 30% of at least one inorganic pigment; greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 50% of at least one film-forming agent including at least one acrylic copolymer comprising two or more monomers selected from: acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, C1-C8 alkyl acrylate, or C1-C8 alkyl methacrylate; greater than or equal to 0.05% and less than or equal to 3% of at least one thickening agent; greater than or equal to 0.1% and less than or equal to 5% of at least one surfactant; greater than or equal to 1% and less than or equal to 20% of at least one C1-C4 alkanol; and water equal to the complement to 100%.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition in a form of compact powder may include (percentages by weight based on total weight of the composition): (a) 30-90% of at least one powder filler; (b) 3-30% of at least one fatty phase having a melting point greater than or equal to 30° C.; (c) 1-20% of at least one water-soluble polymer; and/or (d) 3-30% of at least one surfactant that is liquid at a temperature of 25° C.

Abstract: A powder cosmetic composition may include the following components (percentages-by-weight refer to a total weight of the components (a), (b), and (c)): (a) greater than or equal to 60%-by-weight and less than or equal to 95%-by-weight of an effervescent system including at least one carbonate or bicarbonate salt of alkaline metal or alkaline earth metal capable of reacting with at least one acid component, when exposed to water, to develop gas; (b) greater than or equal to 1%-by-weight and less than or equal to 35%-by-weight of at least one solid surfactant; and/or (c) greater than or equal to 0.05%-by-weight and less than or equal to 5%-by-weight of at least one composite powder including particles of a crosslinked organosiloxane polymer supporting silica particles on a surface of the crosslinked organosiloxane polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method for the production of coloured cosmetic powders having a solid and creamy consistency for use on the skin of the eyes, face and body, to the powders of a solid and creamy consistency obtained with said production method and to their use as a cosmetic.

Abstract: A bottom base for cosmetic products, with an upper surface intended to constitute a support for the cosmetic product and a lower surface intended to rest on the bottom of an outer container, has at least one of said surfaces that is decorated with decorations made by thermal sublimation photographic printing. A package for cosmetic products having an outer container and a bottom base thus made is also disclosed.
