Abstract
Use of at least one compound of formula (I); in which R represents the characterizing chain of a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched fatty acid, comprising from 16 to 22 carbon atoms, represents the characterizing chain or cyclic radical of an amino acid, R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical comprising from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or the topically acceptable salts thereof, as texturing agents, it being understood that the amino acid characterized by R1 is not lysine, hydroxylysine or arginine. Novel compositions. Application in cosmetics.
Claims5
The method of improving the texture of a cosmetic, dermocosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation, which comprises combining at least one cosmetic agent and at least one excipient with an effective amount of a texturing composition;
- said texturing composition comprising N-cocoyl glycine or one of a topically acceptable salt thereof;
- said effective amount representing from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the formulation.
A cosmetic, dermocosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation comprising as a texturing agent from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of a composition comprising from 30% to 70% by weight of N-cocoyl glycine, from 0% to 25% by weight of N-cocoyl sarcosine and from 5% to 45% by weight of a mixture of fatty acids derived from coconut oil.
