Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use in cosmetics of rigid gels containing at least 20% by weight of one or more water-soluble or hydrophilic gelling agent(s) which may be obtained from the said water-soluble or hydrophilic gelling agent in the presence of water by mixing, blending, compression and extrusion in a twin-screw extruder. These gels constitute novel pharmaceutical forms for cosmetic or dermatological use. These gels are generally in the form of sticks, pencils or cakes. They may be aqueous with a matrix consisting of an aqueous gelled network. They may be in anhydrous form with a matrix consisting of a dehydrated gelled network. They may constitute many products in solid form applied to making up, to care of and/or to treatment of the skin, the scalp, the hair or the mucous membranes, or alternatively applied to the hygiene of the body, the skin, the scalp, the hair or the mucous membranes.
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.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gel containing an aqueous phase, a hydrophilic polymer as a gelling agent, a coloring material which is soluble or dispersible in the aqueous phase and at least one organopolysiloxane solubilized in the aqueous phase. This gel is usable in the cosmetics field for making up both the face and the human body.
Abstract:
Stable water-in-oil emulsion for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use.This emulsion comprises a fatty phase in a proportion of 15 to 40% consisting of at least one silicone in a proportion of 15 to 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the emulsion, and an aqueous phase containing at least one electrolyte-insensitive aqueous gelling agent, the emulsifying agent of the said emulsion being an alkyl- or alkoxydimethicone copolyol of general formula: ##STR1## in which: X is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.16 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.16 alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.16 acyl,Y is a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl or C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkoxy radical,n=0 to 200,m=1 to 40,q=1 to 100,the molecular weight of the residue (C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O--).sub.x (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O--).sub.y --X being from 250 to 2000, and x and y being chosen in such a way that the weight ratio of oxyethylene to oxypropylene groups is between 100:0 and 20:80.Production of stable emulsions having excellent cosmetic properties.
Abstract:
A colored or colorless nail varnish containing, in a varnish solvent system, a film-forming substance, a resin and a plasticizer as well as a combination of (i) 0.05-5 wt % an amino or thio silicone and (ii) 0.05-5 wt % of an organofluorinated hydrocarbon compound, the total weight of (i)+(ii) being at most 5 wt % of the total weight of the varnish. The varnishes have an improved drying time.
