Description
The present invention relates to novel compounds of the organosiloxane and organosilane type, presenting the common characteristic of all having at least one function derived from salicylic acid. The present invention also relates to the use of these novel derivatives in topical compositions as desquamating products and/or for combating aging, as well as to topical compositions containing these products, and to a process for the non-therapeutic treatment of the skin.
Products having a desquamating activity are sought in cosmetics, in particular in antidandruff products, compositions for treating dry skin, beauty masks and for so-called "peeling" processes. These products, while allowing the removal of dead or hyperkeratinized skin, should not cause any inflammation.
In dermopharmacy, the use of desquamating and comedolytic products is also of great value, in particular in the treatment of diseases affecting the stratum comeum of man or animals, such as verrucas, acne, eczema, psoriasis, ulcers, etc.
Salicylic acid is known for its desquamating properties and it is generally used as a desquamating agent against acne. Some of its derivatives are also known for this activity; reference may be made in particular to French Patent Application No. FR-A-2,581,542.
Moreover, in the course of the aging process, different signs appear in the skin which are very characteristic of this aging, reflected in particular by a change in the structure and function of the skin. These signs are particularly pronounced on exposed areas, such as the face and the hands, to which specific characteristics due to exposure of the skin to sunlight (actinic aging) are generally added.
Aging of the skin results from effects of intrinsic or extrinsic factors on the skin, reflected in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, yellowing of the skin which develops a "parchment" appearance accompanied by the appearance of pigmentary blemishes, this organization of the elastin and collagen fibres leading to a loss of elasticity, flexibility and firmness, and the appearance of telangiectasias.
Some of these signs of aging are more particularly associated with intrinsic or physiological aging, that is to say "normal" aging associated with age, whereas others are more specific to extrinsic aging, that is to say aging caused generally by the environment; this relates more particularly to photo-aging due to exposure to the sun, to light or to any other radiation.
The invention is concerned with intrinsic or physiological aging as well as extrinsic aging.
The changes in the skin due to intrinsic aging are the consequence of genetically programmed senescence involving endogenous factors. This intrinsic aging gives rise in particular to a slowing down of the renewal of skin cells, which is reflected essentially in the appearance of clinical changes such as the reduction of the subcutaneous adipose tissue and the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, and in histopathological changes such as an increase in the number and thickness of elastic fibres, a loss of vertical fibres from the elastic tissue membrane and the presence of large irregular fibroblasts in the cells of this elastic tissue.
In contrast, extrinsic aging results in clinical changes such as large wrinkles and the formation of a flaccid and leathery skin, and histopathological changes such as excessive accumulation of elastic material in the upper dermis and degeneration of the collagen fibres.
In EP-A-378,936 and WO-93/10756, for example, salicylic acid and certain derivatives thereof may be used to treat aging of the skin. However, some of these substances do not have all the properties required for suitable use in cosmetic and/or dermatological compositions. In particular, their solubility in the various types of formulations used is not always sufficiently high (liposolubility in particular) and they may also have a poor resistance to water and to sweat. It is also desirable for these substances not to penetrate into the skin.
Thus, it has been sought to obtain products having properties that are improved compared with existing products, in particular as regards their liposolubility and their cosmetic nature, by fixing, via grafting (hydrosilylation), a salicylic acid group onto a macromolecular chain of silicone type (organopolysiloxane).
Organopolysiloxanes grafted with salicylic acid derivatives are known from, for example, FR-A-1,124,824, GB-A-1,164,522, JP-A-71,002,575, FR-A-2,200,275, FR-A-2,550,787, EP-A-138,321, and EP-A-138,590. However, in all these documents, the salicylic acid derivative is connected to the siloxane polymer in the form of a salicylate radical or alkyl salicylate, and none of these documents suggests using such polymers for desquamating the skin.
It is known from document FR-A-2,683,455 to use the monomethyltrisilanol of salicylic acid to stimulate the localized synthesis of connective tissue.
The present inventors have discovered, surprisingly, novel silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid which have desquamating properties and treat aging of the skin, while at the same time being endowed with a lipophilic nature which facilitates their use in cosmetic compositions in any pharmaceutical form.
A first subject of the present invention is thus novel silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid corresponding to one of formulae (1) to (3) below: ##STR1## in which: R.sub.a to R.sub.g, which are identical or different, are selected from linear and branched, saturated and unsaturated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)alkyl and (C.sub.2 -C.sub.10)alkenyl radicals, phenyl radicals and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl radicals, at least 80%, on a number basis, of the radicals R.sub.a to R.sub.g being the methyl radical.
A denotes a monovalent radical attached directly to a silicon atom and corresponding to formula (4): ##STR2## in which: R.sub.1 represents OH, a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkoxyl radical or an acyloxy function of formula O(C.dbd.O)R.sub.4, in which R.sub.4 represents a linear or branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)alkyl or (C.sub.2 -C.sub.8)alkenyl radical,
each R.sub.2 independently represents an OH radical, a linear or branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)alkyl or (C.sub.2 -C.sub.8)alkenyl radical or a linear or branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)alkoxyl radical, it being possible for two adjacent R.sub.2 radicals together to form an alkanedioxy group in which the alkane chain contains 1 or 2 carbon atoms,
R.sub.3 represents a radical selected from: a hydrogen atom, a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, a linear or branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl or (C.sub.2 -C.sub.6)alkenyl radical and a benzyl radical, optionally substituted with a group selected from the following radicals: linear and branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl and (C.sub.2 -C.sub.6)alkenyl, hydroxyl, amino, linear and branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkoxy and (C.sub.2 -C.sub.6)alkenyloxy, halogencarboxylic acid, and linear and branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl carboxylate or (C.sub.2 -C.sub.6)alkenylcarboxylate,
when R.sub.1 is other than OH, R.sub.3 is H or a pharmaceutically acceptable cation,
m is selected from the integers 0, 1 and 2,
p is selected from the integers 0 and 2,
X represents O, NH, C.dbd.O, NH(C.dbd.O)NH, NH(C.dbd.O) or (C.dbd.O)NH,
n is selected from the integers 0 and 1,
Z is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkanediyl radical, optionally substituted with a hydroxyl radical or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated (C.sub.2 -C.sub.8)alkoxyl radical,
Y represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl radical or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated (C.sub.2 -C.sub.8)alkoxyl radical,
B.sub.1 and B.sub.2, which are identical or different, are selected from the radicals R.sub.a to R.sub.g and A defined above,
R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2 and R'.sub.3, which are identical or different, are selected from linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)alkyl and (C.sub.2 -C.sub.8)alkenyl radicals, the phenyl radical and linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkoxyl radicals,
r is an integer ranging from 0 to 50,
is an integer ranging from 0 to 20, it being understood that if s is zero, then at least one of the radicals B.sub.1 and B.sub.2 denotes the radical A,
u is an integer ranging from 1 to 6 and t is an integer ranging from 0 to 10, it being understood that t+u is greater than or equal to 3.
When compared with products already known in the art, these products are of higher liposolubility, allowing them to be introduced into fatty compositions, avoiding excessive drying out of the skin on account of the desquamating activity.
In formulae (1) to (3) above, A therefore represents the group derived from salicylic acid which, after it is fixed to the starting silicone chain or to the starting silane, imparts to the compounds of linear organosiloxane type (formula (1)) or cyclic organosiloxane type (formula (2)) or triorganosilane type (formula 3)) properties of desquamating and rejuvenating skin.
As emerges from formula (4) given above, attachment of the chain unit --(X).sub.n --(Z).sub.p -- to the aromatic ring of the salicylic unit, which thus ensures connection of the salicylic unit to the silicon atom of the silicone chain or of the silane, may, according to the present invention, take place in all the available positions offered by the aromatic ring.
Preferably, this attachment takes place in position 3, 4 or 5.
Similarly, attachment of the substituent unit R.sub.2 may take place in all the other available positions on the salicylic ring.
In formulae (1) to (3) above, the alkyl radicals may be linear or branched and preferably selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-amyl, isoamyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl and tert-octyl radicals. Preferably, the radicals Ra to Rg are selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, n-octyl and 2-ethylhexyl and, even more preferably, the radicals R.sub.a to R.sub.g represent methyl.
Preferably, the radicals R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2 and R'.sub.3 are selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, n-octyl and 2-ethylhexyl radicals and, more preferably R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2 and R'.sub.3 represent methyl.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the alkyl radicals B.sub.1 and B.sub.2 are selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, n-octyl and 2-ethyl-hexyl radicals and, preferably the radicals B.sub.1 and B.sub.2 both represent methyl.
Among the compounds for formulae (1) to (3) above, it is preferred to use those corresponding to formula (1) or to formula (3), i.e., linear short-chain organosiloxanes or triorganosilanes.
Among the linear organosiloxanes forming part of the present invention, more particularly preferred are random derivatives or derivatives in well-defined blocks and moreover having in particular at least one, and more preferably all, of the following characteristics:
R.sub.a to R.sub.g are alkyl radicals, and more preferably represent methyl,
B.sub.1 and B.sub.2 are alkyl radicals, and more preferably methyl (in the case of the linear compounds of formula (1)),
r ranges from 0 to 3; s ranges from 0 to 3 (in the case of the linear compounds of formula (1)),
R.sub.1 is OH,
R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom,
m=0, and
n=0 or X represents O (n=1).
More preferably, a subject of the invention is the following products:
methyl 2-hydroxy-4-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyl-oxy)benzoate,
2-hydroxy-4-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyloxy)benzoic acid,
methyl 2-hydroxy-5-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyl-oxy)benzoate,
2-hydroxy-5-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyloxy)benzoic acid,
methyl 2-hydroxy-4-2-methyl-3-1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)oxy!-disil oxanyl!propyloxy!benzoate,
methyl 2-hydroxy-3-2-methyl-3-1,3,3,3-tramethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)oxy!-disilox anyl!propyl!benzoate,
2-hydroxy-3-2-methyl-3-1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)oxy!-disilo xanyl!propyl!benzoic acid,
2-hydroxy-3-2-methyl-3-1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)oxy!-disilo xanyl!propyl!benzoic acid, and
2-hydroxy-5-3-1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)oxy!disiloxanyl!-pro pylamido!benzoic acid.
In order to prepare the silicone-containing salicylates of formulae (1), (2) and (3), the process may be performed conventionally using a hydrosilylation reaction, namely:
starting with the corresponding silicone or silane, in which all the radicals A are hydrogen atoms. This starting silicone is referred to hereinbelow as the SiH-containing derivative; the SiH groups may be present in the chain and/or at the ends of the silicone chain. These SiH-containing derivatives are products that are well known in the silicone industry and are generally commercially available. They are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,220,972, 3,697,473 and 4,340,709, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
This SiH-containing derivative may thus be represented either by formula (1b) below: ##STR3## in which R.sub.a to R.sub.g, r and s have the meaning given above for formula (1) and the radicals B'.sub.1 and B'.sub.2, which are identical or different, are selected from the radicals R.sub.a to R.sub.g and a hydrogen atom, or by formula (2b) below: ##STR4## in which R.sub.c to R.sub.e, t and u have the meaning given above for formula (2), or by formula (3b) below
in which R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2, and R'.sub.3 have the same meaning as in formula (3).
A standard hydrosilylation reaction is thus carried out on this SiH-containing derivative of formula (1b), (2b) or (3b), performed in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a platinum catalyst, on an organic derivative of salicylic acid of formula (4b) below: ##STR5## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, X, Z, Y, n, m and p have the meaning given above for formula (4) and R.sub.3 represents a radical selected from: linear and branched (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl and (C.sub.2 -C.sub.6)alkenyl radicals and benzyl radicals.
The products corresponding to formulae (1), (2) and (3) in which R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom are prepared from derivatives of the same formula in which:
R.sub.3 is an alkyl radical, by basic hydrolysis in alcoholic medium, or
R.sub.3 is a benzyl radical, by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst of the palladium-on-charcoal type, or with a hydrogen-transfer agent such as cyclohexene.
Processes which are suitable for preparing the products of formula (4b) above are described in particular in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,316,033 and 4,328,346, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Moreover, the details of the operating conditions to follow to carry out the hydrosilylation reaction between the compounds of formula (1b) or (2b) above with the compound of formula (4b) above are given in EP-A-0,392,883, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Another subject of the present invention is the use of the silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid corresponding to one of formulae (1) to (3), in, or for the manufacture of, a cosmetic or dermatological composition to promote desquamation of human skin and/or to stimulate epidermal renewal.
Another subject of the present invention is the use of the silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid corresponding to one of formulae (1) to (3) for treating intrinsic and extrinsic aging of human skin.
Another subject of the present invention is the use of the silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid corresponding to one of formulae (1) to (3) in, or for the manufacture of, a cosmetic or dermatological composition, in particular to combat wrinkles and/or fine lines and/or actinic blemishes and/or skin dyschromias and/or dermatitis and/or scars on human skin.
Another subject of the invention is the use of the silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid corresponding to one of the formulae (1) to (3) in, or for the manufacture of, an antibacterial or antisun cosmetic or dermatological composition and/or a cosmetic or dermatological composition for protecting human skin against free radicals.
An in vitro test of the efficacy of the desquamation was carried out on keratinocytes using 5-n-octanoylsalicylic acid (compound C.sub.1), 2-hydroxy4-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyloxy)benzoic acid (compound C.sub.2) and 2-hydroxy-5-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyloxy)benzoic acid (compound C.sub.3). C.sub.1 is a known powerful desquamating active agent, but not part of the present invention. C.sub.2 and C.sub.3 are compounds of the present invention.
The principle of the test rests on the fact that desquamation is known to induce the release of corneocytes. The desquamating power of the test product should be proportionately greater the larger the number of corneocytes released.
The test procedure was as follows: keratinocytes were obtained by separating the epidermis from skin biopsies, and these keratinocytes were dissociated by enzymatic action with trypsin and cultured at a concentration of 2.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml. Growth and differentiation of the keratinocytes were obtained by culturing for 10 to 20 days in specific medium.
Next, after removing the culture medium, the test product was added and the activity of the product evaluated. To do this, two samples were taken at T.sub.0 and T.sub.60, i.e., before addition of the product and 60 minutes after this addition, and the samples thus taken were analysed on a flow cytometer to count the population of corneocytes. With the flow cytometer, the populations of corneocytes and keratinocytes were differentiated by treatment with acridine orange which is specific for the DNA in cells, which binds to the cell nuclei and therefore exclusively reveals the presence of the keratinocytes.
The cell detachment index was determined by the difference between T.sub.60 and T.sub.0.
The same measurement was taken for a control containing no test product since the experiment inevitably produces the release of corneocytes, even in the absence of active agent. The variation of the control arbitrarily set the standard at 100%.
The results are collated in the following table:
These results show clearly that the inventive compounds 2-hydroxy-4-(3-tnimethylsilanyl-propyloxy)benzoic acid and 2-hydroxy-5-(3-trimethylsilanylpropyloxy)benzoic acid, at a concentration equal to that of the non-inventive 5-n-octanoylsalicylic acid, which is known as being a powerful desquamating active agent, were much more active than the latter.
Another subject of the invention is a non-therapeutic treatment process for the skin intended to desquamate human skin, which involves applying to this skin a composition containing at least one silicon-containing derivative of salicylic acid corresponding to one of formulae (1), (2) and (3) in a cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable medium.
Another subject of the invention is a process for the non-therapeutic treatment of aging of the skin, which involves applying to human skin a composition containing at least one silicon-containing derivative of salicylic acid as defined above, in a cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable medium.
Another subject of the invention is cosmetic and/or dermatological compositions, characterized in that they comprise at least one silicon-containing derivative of salicylic acid corresponding to one of formulae (1) to (3).
The composition of the invention contains a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable medium, i.e., a medium which is compatible with the skin, the nails, the mucous membranes, the tissues and the hair. The composition comprising the silicon-containing derivative of salicylic acid may be applied topically to the face, the neck, the hair, the mucous membranes, the nails or to any other area of body skin.
The solubility of the silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid according to the invention in organic media was evaluated by comparing the solubility of 5-n-octanoylsalicylic acid with inventive compounds:
2-hydroxy-4-(3-trimethylsilanyl propyloxy)benzoic acid (C.sub.2),
2-hydroxy-5-(3-trimethylsilanyl propyloxy)benzoic acid (C.sub.3),
2-hydroxy-4-2-methyl-3-1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-(trimethyl-silyl)oxy!disilo xanyl!propyloxy!benzoic acid (C.sub.4), and
2-hydroxy-3-2-methyl-3-1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)oxy!disilox anyl!propyl!benzoic acid (C.sub.5),
in a mixture of caprylic acid and capric acid triglyceride, marketed under the name MIGLYOL 812 by the company Huls.
Solubility at room temperature:
C.sub.1 :<1.5%
C.sub.2 :2%
C.sub.3 :7%
C.sub.4 :6%
C.sub.5 :>20%
Thus, the solubility of the inventive compounds is greater than that of the non-inventive compound C.sub.1.
Because the derivatives according to the invention are more soluble in oils than the non-silicon-containing derivatives of salicylic acid, they are more readily introduced into aqueous-lipid media and are of greater efficacy when they are solubilized in these media in order then to be applied to the skin.
Similarly favorable desquamating and solubility results may be obtained with all the products according to the invention.
The compositions according to the invention may be in any form which is suitable for topical application, in particular in the form of aqueous, aqueous-alcoholic or oily solutions, dispersions of the lotion or serum type, aqueous, anhydrous or oily gels, emulsions of liquid or semi-liquid consistency of milk type, obtained by dispersing a fatty phase in an aqueous phase (O/W) or conversely (W/O), suspensions or emulsions of soft, semi-solid or solid consistency of the cream or gel type, microemulsions, or alternatively microcapsules, microparticles or vesicle dispersions of ionic and/or nonionic type. These compositions are prepared according to the usual methods. They may also be used for the hair in the form of aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solutions or in the form of creams, gels, emulsions or foams or alternatively in the form of aerosol compositions also containing a propellant under pressure.
The amounts of the various constituents of the compositions according to the invention are those used conventionally in the fields considered.
In the compositions according to the invention, the products according to formulae (1), (2) and (3) preferably may be used in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and more preferably in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 10%, and still more preferably in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
These compositions preferably constitute protective, treatment or care creams for the skin or the mucous membranes, for the face, for the hands or for the body, protective or care body milks, care or treatment lotions, gels or foams for the skin and the mucous membranes or for cleansing the skin.
The compositions may also comprise solid preparations constituting soaps or cleansing bars.
When the composition of the invention is an emulsion, the proportion of the fatty phase may range from 5% to 80% by weight, and preferably from 5% to 50% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. The oils, the emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers used in the composition in emulsion form are selected from those conventionally used in the cosmetic or dermatological field. The emulsifier and the co-emulsifier are preferably present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.3% to 30% by weight, and preferably from 0.5 to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. The emulsion may, in addition, contain lipid vesicles.
When the composition is an oily gel or solution, the amount of oil may be up to 90% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
In a known manner, the composition of the invention may also contain adjuvants which are common in the cosmetics and dermatological fields, such as hydrophilic or lipophilic gelling agents, hydrophilic or lipophilic active agents other than those of the invention, preserving agents, antioxidants, solvents, fragrances, sequestering agents, fillers and dyestuffs. The amounts of these various adjuvants are those used conventionally in the fields considered and, for example, range from 0.01% to 20% weight percent with respect to the total weight of the composition. Depending on their nature, these adjuvants may be introduced into the fatty phase, into the aqueous phase and/or into the lipid spherules.
As oils which can be used in the invention, mention may be made of mineral oils (liquid petro-latum), plant oils (karite oil, sweet almond oil), animal oils, synthetic oils, silicone oils (cyclo-methicone) and fluoro oils (perfluoropolyethers). Fatty alcohols, fatty acids (stearic acid) and waxes (paraffin wax, carnauba wax, beeswax) may also be used as fatty substances.
As emulsifiers which can be used in the invention, mention may be made of Polysorbate 60 and sorbitan stearate sold under the trade names TWEEN 60 and SPAN 60 respectively by the company ICI.
As solvents which can be used in the invention, mention may be made of lower alcohols, in particular ethanol and isopropanol, and propylene glycol.
As hydrophilic gelling agents, mention may be made of carboxyvinyl polymers (carbomer), acrylic copolymers such as acrylate/alkylacrylate copolymers, polyacrylamides, polysaccharides such as hydroxypropyl-cellulose, natural gums (xanthan) and clays, and, as lipophilic gelling agents, mention may be made of modified clays such as bentones, fatty acid metal salts such as aluminium stearates, hydrophobic silica, polyethylenes and ethylcellulose.
Proteins or protein hydrolysates, amino acids, polyols, urea, allantoin, sugars and sugar derivatives, water-soluble vitamins, starch, bacterial or plant extracts, in particular extracts of Aloe vera, and antiseptics may be used as hydrophilic active agents.
Tocopherol (vitamin E) and derivatives thereof, essential fatty acids, ceramides and essential oils may be used as lipophilic active agents.
It is possible, inter alia, to combine the acids with active agents intended in particular for the prevention and/or treatment of skin complaints. Among these active agents, mention may be made, by way of example, of:
agents which modify skin differentiation and/or proliferation and/or pigmentation, such as vitamin D and derivatives thereof, oestrogens such as oestradiol, kojic acid and hydroquinone; and
anti-free-radical agents, such as .alpha.-tocopherol and esters thereof, superoxide dismutases, certain metal-chelating agents and ascorbic acid and esters thereof.
It is possible, moreover, to combine with the silicon-containing derivative of salicylic acid according to the invention antagonists of substance P and/or of CGRP (Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide) such as Iris pallida and strontium salts, in particular strontium chlorides and nitrates, or antagonists of substance P and/or of CGRP such as those described in two French patent applications assigned to the present assignee, one filed under the number 95/00,900, the other published under the number FR-A-2,719,476, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Such a combination makes it possible to guarantee complete tolerance of these compositions, even by very sensitive skins.
The cosmetic or dermatological treatment process of the invention may be carried out in particular by applying the hygiene, cosmetic or dermatological compositions as defined above, according to the usual technique for using these compositions, such as, for example, application of creams, gels, sera, ointments, lotions or milks to the skin, the scalp, the nails and/or the mucous membranes.
The examples which follow illustrate the invention without limiting the scope thereof.
