Ferment extract and exopolysaccharide of a bacterial strain for its use in treatment and/or care of the skin, as well as its cosmetic and/or dermopharmaceutical compositions. In particular, its use for skin aging, skin firmness and hydration.

A method includes administering a cosmetically or dermopharmaceutically effective quantity of exopolysaccharide of a bacterial strain isolated from Pseudoalteromonas sp. with deposit number CNCM I-4150 to at least one of skin, mucous membranes, hair and nails for the treatment and/or care of the skin, mucous membranes, hair and/or nails, and cosmetic and/or dermopharmaceutical compositions including the exopolysaccharide. In particular, the method and composition are suited to treatment of the aging of skin and for the treatment and/or care of disorders, conditions and/or diseases which are a result of a lack or decrease in hydration.

Provided is a gel polish composition comprising (A) a multifunctional silicone urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, (B) a reactive monomer, and (C) a photoinitiator. The multifunctional silicone urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer (A) consists of siloxane moieties, urethane moieties, and (meth)acrylate moieties. Also provided is a method of using the gel polish composition.

This application is directed to hair and skin conditioning compositions which contain specific polyoxyalkylene substituted alkylene diamines. The polyoxyalkylene substituted alkylene diamines function as conditioning agents on hair and skin via cloud point deposition. The polyoxyalkylene substituted alkylene diamines in addition to functioning as conditioning agents on skin and hair by themselves also function to enhance deposition of lipophilic benefit agents such as for example fatty alcohols, esters of fatty acids, hydrophobic vitamin or vitamin complexes, natural or synthetic triglycerides including glyceryl esters and derivative, pearlescent waxes, hydrocarbon oils, siloxanes of silicones, perfume oils, super-fatting agents, water insoluble or slightly soluble organic sunscreens, micronized sunscreens, plant extracts, essential oils and hydrophobically modified pigments.
