COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING PHYTOSTEROL ESTERS

摘要

The present invention generally relates to novel solid oil-based compositions for cosmetic applications and their production. In particular, the present invention provides novel non-aqueous lipid-based compositions for cosmetic applications containing a mixture of diglyceride(s), phytosterol ester(s) (PSE), and optionally monoglyceride(s), dissolved or dispersed in an oil, for example olive oil. The present invention also provides a process for preparing the novel composition compositions, and to various cosmetic uses of these novel compositions, for example ant-aging, anti-chapping, anti-irritancy, skin moisturizing/softening, line/wrinkle reduction and/or sunscreen protection.
