Cosmetic composition

Abstract

The invention relates to a composition containing, preferably in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one xanthine base or a plant extract containing it, at least one polyurethane powder, and at least one non-ionic dimethicone copolyol. The invention also relates to a cosmetic method for combating cellulite and/or “orange-peel” skin and/or slimming the figure, comprising the application of the composition to the skin. The composition applied to the skin exhibits good cosmetic properties of softness and of non-tackiness.

         8 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises a polyurethane powder in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 10% by weight.  
     
     
         9 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic dimethicone copolyol is an oxypropylenated and/or oxyethylenated polydimethylmethylsiloxane that does not contain an ionic group.  
     
     
         10 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic dimethicone copolyol is present in an amount ranging from 0.05% to 5% by weight.  
     
     
         11 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein it further comprises an aqueous phase comprising water.  
     
     
         12 . The composition according to  claim 11 , wherein said composition comprises water in an amount ranging from 30% to 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.  
     
     
         13 . The composition according to  claim 11 , wherein said aqueous phase further comprises at least one monoalcohol having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms.  
     
     
         14 . The composition according to  claim 13 , wherein said aqueous phase comprises at least one of ethanol and isopropanol.  
     
     
         15 . The composition according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one monoalcohol is present in an amount ranging from 1 to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.  
     
     
         16 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises salicylic acid or a derivative thereof.  
     
     
         17 . The composition according to  claim 16 , wherein the salicylic acid or derivative is present in an amount ranging from 0.1% to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.  
     
     
         18 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein said composition is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion.  
     
     
         19 . The composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one active agent chosen from active agents that act on microcirculation, firming and/or anti-glycant active agents, and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         20 . The composition according to  claim 1 , comprising, relative to the total weight of the composition: 
   0 . 1 % to 7% by weight of said at least one xanthine base and/or said at least one plant extract comprising a xanthine base;    0.5% to 6% by weight of said at least one polyurethane powder; and    0.1% to 3% by weight of said at least one non-ionic dimethicone copolyol,    said composition further comprising caffine and salicyclic acid.
