The present invention provides a fragrant nail polish. The fragrant nail polish is made fragrant by essential oil. The film-former, solvents and resins in the polish are stabilised by stabilising agents.

Disclosed is a cosmetic or dermatological preparation which comprises one or more extracts of Saxifraga oppositifolia (purple saxifrage) and/or one or more extracts of Soldanella alpina (alpine snowbell). The use of these extracts to combat extrinsic and intrinsic skin aging is likewise described.

The present invention is directed to a foaming composition comprising: from about 18% to about 36% of one or more anionic surfactants; from 0 0.1 to about 5% of one or more viscosity modifiers with a molecular weight of from about 38 to about 2800; from about 0.1 to about 10% of an anti-dandruff particulate; from about 1% to about 10% of a blowing agent, and wherein the foam density is from about 0.05 to about 0.25 g/ml.

The present invention relates to a process for treating keratin materials, preferably human skin, in particular the lips, preferably in at least two steps involving, in a first stage, the application to said materials of an oily dispersion (A) comprising i) particles of copolymers of alkyl acrylates and of anhydride acrylics, ii) stabilizers, iii) one or more hydrocarbon-based oils; and then, in a second stage, the application to said materials of a composition (B) comprising iv) one or more amine compounds, it being understood that the process of the invention uses v) one or more cosmetic active agents chosen from a) pigments, b) active agents for caring for the skin, and c) UV-screening agents and also d) mixtures thereof; ingredients a) to d) possibly being found in composition (A), and/or in composition (B), and/or in another composition (C).

The process of the invention makes it possible to obtain a treatment of said keratin materials that is notably resistant to sweat, to shower gels, to water and to fatty substances, in particular plant or animal food oils, and more particularly plant oils such as olive oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil, hazelnut oil, etc.

The keratin material treatment process of the present patent application is also suitable for making up the skin or the lips, such as foundations and lipsticks.
