Use of a particular metal oxide for the photoconversoin of organic compounds on keratin materials

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use, for reducing and/or eliminating the deposits of organic compounds at the surface of keratin materials or at the surface of objects in contact with said keratin materials, of solid particles comprising at least one metal oxide OM1 of formula AaBbOn-x, in which: A denotes a metal chosen from bismuth, calcium, sodium, lanthanum, barium, copper, tin, magnesium, zinc and silver; B denotes a metal chosen from tungsten, vanadium, gallium, niobium and strontium; a is an integer within the range of from 1 to 4; b is an integer within the range of from 1 to 10; n is an integer within the range of from 3 to 6; and x is a decimal number of less than n, within the range of from 0.1 to 5. The present invention also relates to a method for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials or of the surface of an object in contact with the keratin materials, using a cosmetic composition or an article comprising such solid particles, followed by exposure to light.
