| abstract |
the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising: from 70% by weight to 99.9% by weight of a cosmetically acceptable base formulation comprising an oil phase; from 0.1% by weight to 30% by weight of at least one polyhydroxyalkanoate (pha) in the form of particles having an average diameter (d50) of from 0.1 µm to 100 µm; the percentages being expressed in relation to the total weight of the composition. pha in the form of particles acts as a texturizing agent and guarantees the desired consistency and fluidity properties for the cosmetic composition during application, as well as reduced oiliness. in fact, pha particles have a strong ability to absorb oily substances, minimizing the oily effect and absorbing excess sebum, making the skin less shiny. in addition, they contribute to the so-called "soft focus" effect, that is, an immediate effect of filling and smoothing out wrinkles and skin ridges, providing greater shine and compactness to the skin. |
