Cosmetically acceptable base formulation comprising from 70% to 99.9% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of an oily phase; A cosmetic composition comprising at least one polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) in the form of particles having an average diameter (d50) of 0.1 to 30% by weight, 0.1 μm to 100 μm. PHAs in the form of particles act as a texturizing agent and reduce shine during application, as well as achieve desirable persistence and flow properties for cosmetic compositions. Indeed, PHA particles have a strong ability to absorb oily substances, thus minimizing the shine effect and absorbing excess sebum, making the skin less greasy. In addition, they provide a so-called "soft focus" effect, i.e., instant peeling and smoothing of wrinkles and cutaneous furrows to provide greater radiance and tightness to the skin. |
