Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for topical application on the skin, comprising fibers and at least one or two or more compounds selected from the group of the ubiquinones and derivatives thereof. The ubiquinone can in particular be coenzyme Q10. The composition of the invention makes it possible to improve the appearance of the skin, immediately as well as in the longer term, and to mask the imperfections and/or signs of ageing of the skin while maintaining a natural appearance of the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition having an immediate anti-wrinkle effect, containing an effective amount of at least one mineral filler, with the exclusion of any mixed silicate, the mineral filler being in the form of colloid particles in a stable dispersion in an aqueous medium. The invention also relates to using such a filler as a tensing agent in and/or for preparing a cosmetic composition.

Abstract: A composition containing a continuous aqueous phase comprising L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, at least one sequestering agent and at least one neutralizing agent, the said neutralizing agent being present in an amount which is sufficient to adjust the pH of the aqueous phase of the composition to a value of between 5 and 8. The combination of the sequestering agent and the neutralizing agent stabilizes the L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, in particular with respect to thermal degradation, and thus prevents yellowing of the composition and the formation of unpleasant odors.

Abstract: A composition for coloring a keratin material, comprising:

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing fibers and an associative polyurethane useful for example as a care or makeup composition for keratin materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a W/O/W multiple emulsion containing an inner aqueous phase, an oily phase and an outer aqueous phase, the emulsion containing at least one tensioning agent present at least in the inner aqueous phase of the emulsion. The invention also relates to compositions containing the emulsion and to the cosmetic use of these compositions and emulsions for, e.g., smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines and/or for restoring tautness to the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing at least one mixed silicate, at least one polysaccharide and at least one crosslinked poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid) polymer which is at least 90% neutralized, having use in the cosmetic field as a tightening agent, in particular for tightening the skin and smoothing it so as to immediately attenuate the wrinkles and/or fine lines on the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing at least one mixed silicate, at least one polysaccharide and at least one crosslinked poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid) polymer which is at least 90% neutralized, having use in the cosmetic field as a tightening agent, in particular for tightening the skin and smoothing it so as to immediately attenuate the wrinkles and/or fine lines on the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for dissolving at least one compound of low solubility in water, the said process comprising the essential step of mixing the compound of low solubility with at least one lipophilic amino acid derivative. The invention also relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one compound of low solubility and at least one lipophilic amino acid derivative. Among the compounds of low solubility that are especially included are aminophenol derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives, 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide derivatives and DHEA, and also its chemical or metabolic derivatives and precursors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition having an immediate anti-wrinkle effect, containing an effective amount of at least one mineral filler, with the exclusion of any mixed silicate, the mineral filler being in the form of colloid particles in a stable dispersion in an aqueous medium. The invention also relates to using such a filler as a tensing agent in and/or for preparing a cosmetic composition.

Abstract: A composition containing a continuous aqueous phase comprising L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, at least one sequestering agent and at least one neutralizing agent, the said neutralizing agent being present in an amount which is sufficient to adjust the pH of the aqueous phase of the composition to a value of between 5 and 8. The combination of the sequestering agent and the neutralizing agent stabilizes the L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, in particular with respect to thermal degradation, and thus prevents yellowing of the composition and the formation of unpleasant odors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, especially a cosmetic composition, containing fibers and at least one anti-ageing active agent.
