The present invention provides resin beads that can provide various types of products such as cosmetics which are unlikely to generate an odor and have superior tactile impression and spreadability on the skin and that can be substituted for resin particles composed of a synthetic material derived from petroleum, and the present invention also provides various types of products such as cosmetics using the resin beads. The resin beads are formed with a resin containing a cellulose derivative as a main component. In the resin beads, the cellulose derivative is at least one selected from the group consisting of cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate, ethyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, the volume average particle diameter is 50 μm or smaller, the degree of sphericity is 0.7 to 1.0, the degree of surface smoothness is 80 to 100%, the acetyl group content ratio is 15% by mass or less, and the propionyl group content ratio is 10% by mass or more. In addition, the present invention provides a product of any one of a cosmetic, a dermatological preparation, a paint, a shaped article, a film, a coating agent, and a resin composition, which contain the resin beads.

The invention relates to an extract of Moringa peregrina seeds rich in the compound 2,5-diformylfuran, more specifically an extract of the cake of said seeds, and to a process for extracting the extract. The invention also relates to cosmetic or nutricosmetic compositions comprising said extract and to the use of said compositions for improving the appearance of the skin, mucous membranes or the integuments, for relaxing, soothing and destressing the skin and for preventing and/or combating the signs of aging and/or photoaging of the skin, and for preventing age spots.

An object of the present invention is to provide a phycocyanin pigment composition insoluble in water and provide food, cosmetics, a coating material or a printing marker for pharmaceuticals or agricultural chemicals, a stationery product, a writing tool, a printing ink, an inkjet ink, a metal ink, a paint, a plastic coloring agent, a color toner, a fluorescent labeling agent, a fluorescent probe, or a chemical sensor, each containing the pigment composition. It was found that the phycocyanin pigment composition containing phycocyanin and a metal or a metal compound was insoluble in water, and thus the present invention was accomplished.

The invention relates to a dispersion of polymer particles stabilized with a stabilizer in a nonaqueous medium containing at least one hydrocarbon-based oil, the polymer of the particles being a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; the stabilizer being a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer and optionally of a silicone macromonomer (I): the stabilizer being a polymer comprising from 50% to 100% by weight, relative to the total weight of the stabilizer, of C.sub.8-C.sub.22 alkyl acrylate, from 0 to 50% by weight of C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate and optionally silicone macromonomer (I).

The invention also relates to the composition comprising said dispersion of polymer particles.

Cosmetic use for caring for and making up keratin materials.

The present invention relates to a personal care composition. In particular, the present invention relates to a personal care composition for blurring benefits. Accordingly, the present invention discloses a personal care composition comprising: a) titanium di-oxide; and b) 8 to 60% by weight of a cross-polymer comprising adipic acid and neopentyl glycol.

A solid particle ranging from 0.001 to 200 microns in diameter coated with Indium Tin Oxide (“ITO”) and a topical composition containing same as well as a method for protecting skin against IR radiation.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising particles of a polymer that is surface-stabilized with a stabilizer, the polymer of the particles being a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; the stabilizer being an isobornyl (meth)acrylate polymer chosen from isobornyl (meth)acrylate homopolymer and statistical copolymers of isobornyl (meth)acrylate and of C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate present in an isobornyl (meth)acrylate/C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate weight ratio of greater than 4, at least one hydrocarbon-based oil and at least one mineral thickener chosen from optionally modified clays and optionally modified silicas, or mixtures thereof. The invention also relates to a process for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, in which said composition is applied.

Described are a group of isoxazol-3(2H)-one analogues and their use in topical formulations for the treatment and prophylaxis of dermatological disorders.
