Abstract:
A cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, from 0.0001 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of at least one lipid ceramide compound and from 0.01 to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of at least one peptide having at least one fatty chain, wherein said at least one peptide is a protein hydrolysate and wherein said at least one lipid ceramide compound has the formula (I): ##STR3## in which: R.sub.1 denotes either a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C.sub.9 -C.sub.30 hydrocarbon radical, it being possible for R.sub.1 to be substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups or with one or more hydroxyl groups esterified with a saturated or unsaturated C.sub.16 -C.sub.30 fatty acid; or a radical R""--NR--CO--R'--, wherein R denotes hydrogen or a mono- or polyhydroxylated C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 hydrocarbon radical, R' and R"" are hydrocarbon radicals in which the sum of the carbon atoms is from 9 to 30, R' being a bivalent radical,R.sub.2 denotes a hydrogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated C.sub.16 -C.sub.27 hydrocarbon radical, it being possible for R.sub.2 to be substituted with one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.14 alkyl radicals; a C.sub.15 -C.sub.26 .alpha.-hydroxyalkyl radical; or a C.sub.15 -C.sub.26 .alpha.-hydroxyalkyl radical where the hydroxyl group is esterified with a C.sub.16 -C.sub.30 .alpha.-hydroxy acid,R.sub.3 denotes a hydrogen atom, a saturated or unsaturated C.sub.16 -C.sub.27 hydrocarbon radical or a radical --CH.sub.2 --CHOH--CH.sub.2 --O--R.sub.6 in which R.sub.6 denotes a C.sub.10 -C.sub.26 hydrocarbon radical,R.sub.4 denotes a hydrogen atom or a mono- or polyhydroxylated C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbon radical and wherein said composition does not contain a glycoceramide compound.
