The present invention relates to a microcomplex containing a modified nanoparticle adsorbed on a host microparticle and to a process to obtain it. The microcomplex is particularly useful for photoepilation. The present invention also relates to a composition containing the microcomplex and to the method for enhanced photoepilation based on the microcomplexes.

A cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition contains at least one polymer precursor and at least one polymerization catalyst in the presence of which the at least one polymer precursor polymerizes under the action of light. Also, a process for skin tautening, skin fixation and/or wrinkle reduction includes an elastic, wearable polymer layer being formed on the skin when a polymer precursor and a polymerization catalyst are topically applied on the skin area to be treated and the skin area to be treated is subsequently exposed to light.

This invention relates to anhydrous polymer film compositions containing various polysaccharide ingredients useful for numerous applications. The invention relates to anhydrous liquid compositions that, when dried down, form a film that can release desired ingredients in a controlled and extended-use way. The films can be erodible, partially soluble or completely soluble when used in conjunction with water or water vapor.

The invention relates to an adhesive composition having a main fraction of synthetic tackifying resin, and a fraction of at least one macromolecular component, characterised in that said at least one macromolecular component comprises a copolymer of at least two different monomers taken from the alpha olefins and ethylene, to give the composition for strip-free hair removal mechanical or adhesive properties.
