Cosmetic composition comprising a polyglycerolated silicone elastomer
The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a polyglycerolated silicone elastomer for application onto keratinous materials, especially the skin or the lips, for purposes of care or makeup. In addition to at least one polyglycerolated silicone elastomer in a cosmetically suitable medium, the composition also contains at least one ingredient chosen from each of the following: an emulsifying elastomer different from the polyglycerolated silicone elastomer; a film forming polymer; a water-soluble humectant; a coated pigment; a structuring agent; a photoprotective system capable of screening out UV radiation; a nonemulsifying spherical silicone elastomer; a fiber; a noncross-linked surfactant; a hydrocarbyl-functional siloxane; a low molecular weight phenyl-substituted siloxane; and a cosmetically-suitable active ingredient. The noncross-linked surfactant must not be chosen from the polyglycerolated noncross-linked silicone surfactant(s).

Amide compound
The novel amide compound described is useful as a gelling agent having a high ability to gelatinize oily bases. It has been found that a gel composition prepared from this amide compound and an oily base has a strong gel strength and good transparency, and that the gel composition has enough strength to be used in cosmetic preparations that are easily applied to skin when made, for example, into the form of a stick.

The invention relates to cosmetic compositions, and in particular hair styling gels, containing in a cosmetically acceptable carrier at least one of each of the following: a fixing film-forming polymer, a thickening agent and a co-thickening agent. The film-forming polymer is chosen from branched block copolymers comprising, as principal monomers, at least one C1–C20 alkyl acrylate and/or at least one N-mono- or N,N-di(C2–C12 alkyl)(meth)acrylamide, and acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid. The thickening agent is chosen from homopolymers and copolymers based on (meth)acrylic acid, which are cross-linked or noncross-linked. The co-thickening agent is chosen from noncellulosic thickening polymers different from the thickening agent(s).
