The present invention relates to the cosmetic use as a skin refreshing agent of the combination of at least one associative nonionic polyether polyurethane and at least one cyclohexanol derivative.

The present invention also relates to a cosmetic method for refreshing the skin, consisting in applying to the skin surface a composition comprising, in particular in a cosmetically acceptable medium: a) an aqueous phase; and b) at least one associative nonionic polyether polyurethane; and c) at least one cyclohexanol derivative.

The present invention also relates to a composition comprising, particularly in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) at least one aqueous phase; and b) at least one associative nonionic polyether polyurethane; and c) at least one cyclohexanol derivative; and d) at least one antiperspirant active agent.

The present invention also relates to a method for the treatment of human perspiration, and optionally of body odors, which consists in applying to the surface of the skin a composition as described previously.

The present invention relates to microcapsules with a core-shell or matrix morphology stabilized by cross-linked nanoparticles. A process for the preparation of said microcapsules comprising selecting internal crosslinking of a Pickering emulsion is also an object of the invention. Perfumed consumer products, in particular fine fragrance, home and personal care products are also part of the invention.

The present invention concerns a solid polymeric material impregnated with a volatile organic substance (such as a perfume, an odour-masking agent or an insecticide) and a solvent comprising a C.sub.10-C.sub.18 monoester of C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alkyl that helps improve the rate of infusion of the volatile organic substance in the material and the diffusion profile of same. It also concerns a method for producing this material, and the uses of same for perfuming or deodorising the atmosphere, the body or laundry or as an insect repellent or insecticide. The invention also concerns a perfuming or deodorising product, an insect repellent or an insecticide comprising the above-mentioned material.

The invention relates to a cosmetic method for treating human body odors. Said method includes:

(i) applying, to the skin, a composition containing a polymer (I):

##STR00001##

wherein R′ is, separately, H or an acetyl grouping or a —CO-L-X grouping, the polymer containing at least one R′═—CO-L-X grouping,
L being a divalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms,
X denoting a photoactive azide or diazirine group,
and n ranging from 5 to 2000;
then (ii) exposing the skin to visible light.

The method used on the skin can also be used on materials for deodorizing malodorous environments such as shoe soles or clothing.
