Abstract
The invention relates to a cosmetic composition for repairing and optionally preventing the effects of skin ageing, based on an extract of Pinus pinaster bark, the procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs) of which are esterified with a fatty acid. These compositions are particularly useful for increasing collagen synthesis, for soothing the skin, or further for protecting the skin against free radicals.
