Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to compositions, preferably cosmetic compositions, and more preferably skin cosmetic compositions. [Background technology]

[0002] The skin of the body, and more specifically the skin of the face, is constantly exposed to environmental attacks such as wind, cold air, and dust, which lead to a significant loss of moisture from the skin and must be continuously replenished. Skin dehydration often manifests as wrinkles, roughness, and dryness, and the skin tends to peel and lose elasticity. In addition, dehydration is often synonymous with skin aging, except in cases of skin disease.

[0003] Therefore, conventional cosmetics exist that can provide a moisturizing effect. Some conventional products contain polyols that can enhance the moisturizing effect. However, polyols can also impart stickiness.

[0004] On the other hand, a radiant complexion is an important requirement among consumers in many countries, including China, Japan, and the United States.

[0005] Oil-based cosmetics have been used to enhance skin radiance. However, oil-based cosmetics present technical challenges, such as often providing an unpleasant feel during use, for example, a greasy texture. Water-based cosmetics, on the other hand, typically offer a refreshing texture, the opposite of a greasy one. However, water-based cosmetics do not readily enhance the radiant appearance of the skin.

[0006] In addition, the formulations of environmentally friendly cosmetics are designed and developed with environmental issues in mind, and this is an important goal in efforts to address global problems.

[0007] Therefore, in order to address these environmental challenges, it is essential to propose more sustainable compositions, preparation methods, and ingredients.

[0008] In this context, in particular, it is important to develop new cosmetic compositions having a better carbon footprint by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or materials having a good naturality index and / or materials of natural origin.
