Novel lipophilic hydroxylated acids including a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain having 7-30 carbon atoms grafted onto the hydroxyl function and/or the acid function of the lipophilic hydroxylated acid via a covalent bond selected from the group consisting of an ester bond on the hydroxyl function, an anhydride bond on the acid function and an amide bond on the acid function, with the proviso that if the bond is an amide bond, said hydrocarbon chain consists of an alkyl radical with 10-30 carbon atoms resulting from a monoamine, or a combination of said bonds. These novel derivatives are useful as an active ingredient in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions and as an emulsifying agent. |
