  • Patent number: 5958389
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition in the form of a compact powder comprising a fatty phase and a pulverulent phase, said pulverulent phase comprising a first incompactible filler and at least a second filler which may be compactible or incompactible, these two fillers being of different types. The composition preferably has an internal porosity of greater than 2 m.sup.2 /g. The composition is obtained by preparing an oil-in-water type emulsion of the fatty phase in an aqueous phase, dispersing the pulverulent phase in the emulsion, casting the dispersion obtained in a mould, and freeze drying the dispersion.

  • Patent number: 5858381
    Abstract: This composition includes a pulverulent fraction of relative density D, compatible with application to the skin, dispersed in a binder consisting of an emulsion comprising a fatty phase and an aqueous phase, in which:the particles of the said fraction have dimensions of between 0.5 and 100 .mu.m,the particle concentration per unit volume of said composition is at least equal to the critical particle concentration C*, andthe filler content F, defined in % by the formula: ##EQU1## is between F0 and 1.8.times.F0, the value F0 being calculated as follows: if D.ltoreq.0.1 F0=10if 0.1<D.ltoreq.0.6 F0=(60.times.D)+4if D>0.6 F0=40. The invention also relates to the corresponding process of preparation and the make-up product obtained.
