Native or physically or chemically modified starches, consisting of insoluble native particles with a smooth surface, free of edges, harshness, and roughness of any kind, are used as ingredients for cosmetic compositions. The particles can be of a regular spheroidal shape with diameter between 0.1 and 60 microns or of a lenticular/lamellar shape with diameter between 5 and 60 microns and thickness between 0.5 and 15 microns. Using such starches allows obtaining cosmetic compositions with high aesthetic features.

Disclosed herein is a free flowing, oil absorbing and water repellant modified carbohydrate, wherein the modified car-bohydrate is produced from a carbohydrate base being derivatized with one or more anionic moieties; esterified with octenylsuccinic anhydride; and complexed with a polyvalent cation, as well as compositions containing such modified carbohydrates. Such modified carbohydrates and compositions containing same are used in food and personal care applications, cosmetics, dry shampoo, anti-perspirant, deodorant, ointment and sunscreen.

Cosmetic compositions contain certain polylactic acid resins as film-formers. The polylactic acid resin is effective at low levels in the composition and is compatible with many organic ingredients commonly used in cosmetic compositions. The cosmetic composition can be formulated as a spray, a lotion, a cream or a paste.

The present invention features cosmetic compositions and a method for pigmentations that create realistic and long-wearing freckles on a user's skin. These compositions include advantages such as being applicable to various skin types. Other advantages include resistance to smearing and a more realistic appearance superior to alternative faux freckle solutions. These compositions can also be applied using various apparatuses.

The invention relates to particles of a calcium salt of a fatty acid having 12 to 22 carbon atoms, wherein the median size is 4.0 μm to 15.0 μm, the particle size digest A expressed by the following equation (1) satisfies the relation A≤2.0, and the average thickness is 350 to 800 nm.

Particle size digest A=(D90−D10)/D50  equation (1) (Here, 4.0≤D50≤15.0.) D10: the 10% cumulative size (μm) of the fatty acid calcium salt particles on a volumetric basis D50: the median size (μm) of the fatty acid calcium salt particles on a volumetric basis D90: the 90% cumulative size (μm) of the fatty acid calcium salt particles on a volumetric basis

The invention relates to a cosmetic product in the form of a creamy compact powder containing a) 30-65% by weight, on the basis of the total weight of the product, of a powder phase; b) 35-70% by weight, on the basis of the total weight of the product, of a liquid binder phase consisting of one or more liquid binders. The products according to the invention have hybrid properties between compact powdered products and poured products.
