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.

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.

An apparatus is described for dispensing cosmetic material from a cartridge onto a dispensing surface. The apparatus includes a retractable plate disposed beneath the detachable portion, where a dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is configured to penetrate the retractable plate and the detachable portion. When the retractable plate is at a stable highest position, the dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is flush with the surface of the retractable plate. When the retractable plate is moved to a predetermined stable downward position below the highest position, and the detachable portion is placed on the retractable surface, the dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is flush with the dispensing surface and the retractable plate is configured to move even further downward to an unstable position in response to a downward force on the detachable portion.

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.
