Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mascara composition including a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, characterized in that it includes an oily phase including at least one ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, and at least one wax or a mixture of waxes in a certain weight ratio. The present invention also relates to a process for the care or make-up of eyelashes or eyebrows, characterized by the fact that a composition according to the invention is applied to the eyelashes or eyebrows. It also relates to the use of a composition according to the invention in order to obtain a make-up for filling and/or curling the eyelashes and/or a smooth and uniform deposition on the eyelashes.
Abstract:
A cosmetic and/or dermatological composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of lipid vesicles containing at least one cross-linked poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid) polymer which is at least 90% neutralized, comprising, distributed in a random manner:a) from 90 to 99.9% by weight of units of formula (1): ##STR1## in which X.sup.+ denotes at least one cation wherein no more than 10 mol % of the cations X.sup.+ are protons H.sup.+ ;b) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of cross-linking units obtained from at least one monomer having at least two olefinic double bonds;wherein the percentages by weight are relative to the total weight of the polymer.
Abstract:
An oil-in-water emulsion comprising an aqueous phase, a fatty phase, at least one silicone surfactant comprising at least one anionic group and at least one acidic compound other than the silicone surfactant, and a composition comprising such an emulsion. The invention also relates to the use of a silicone surfactant comprising at least one anionic group for the preparation of a stable emulsion comprising at least one acidic compound other than the silicone surfactant.
Abstract:
A method of decreasing the transfer and/or migration and/or improving the persistence and/or behavior of an emulsion on the skin, by applying to the skin an oil-in-water emulsion containing an aqueous phase, a fatty phase having in it at least one oil selected from volatile oils, poly(C.sub.1 -C.sub.20)alkylsiloxanes, and their mixtures, and at least one silicone surfactant having at least one anionic group.
Abstract:
A cosmetic composition in solid form includes 25-90% of at least one silicone oil and an extract of Ericerus pela wax. A cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up keratinous matter, includes the application to the keratinous matter of the cosmetic composition. In addition, a process of using an extract of Ericerus pela wax for structuring at least one silicone oil is described.

Abstract:
A composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, which may be in the form of an emulsion, the said composition comprising a specific copolymer comprised of monoolefinically unsaturated C3-C6 carboxylic acid monomer and fatty-chain monomeric ester of acrylic acid. The invention also relates to the use of the said copolymer in cosmetics, in particular for improving the staying power of the composition.
Abstract:
A cosmetic composition includes, in a physiologically acceptable medium: (a) at least one polyamide resin bearing end groups with a tertiary amide or ester function; (b) at least one ester obtained from: (i) a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, aliphatic acid or hydroxy acid containing from 8 to 30 carbon atoms, (ii) a linear or branched diacid containing from 12 to 36 carbon atoms, and (iii) glycerol or a glycerol condensate; and (c) at least one apolar wax. It also relates to a cosmetic process for making up the lips, including the topical application of this composition to the lips.
