Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A cosmetic composition for the hair or skin comprising from 5 to 30 percent by weight based on the total weight of said composition of pulverized particles of a plant having skin emollient and hair softening properties, said plant being selected from the group consisting of cornflower, fenugreck, barbary fig and linen, said particles having a granulometry equal to or lower than 80 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain the homogeneity of said composition, said cohesion agent being a solvent, a fatty body, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, an emulsion or a mixture thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A cosmetic composition for the hair or skin comprising from 5 to 30 percent by weight based on the total weight of said composition of pulverized particles of a plant having skin emollient and hair softening properties, said plant being selected from the group consisting of cornflower, fenugreck, barbary fig and linen, said particles having a granulometry equal to or lower than 80 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain the homogeneity of said composition, said cohesion agent being a solvent, a fatty body, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, an emulsion or a mixture thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The cosmetic composition of claim 1, wherein said plant is barbary fig.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
125 words
A method for treating the hair or skin so as to impart thereto skin emollient or hair softening properties, said process comprising applying to said hair or skin an amount, effective to impart said properties to said hair or skin, of a composition comprising from 5 to 30 percent by weight based on the total weight of said composition of pulverized particles of a plant selected from the group consisting of cornflower, fenugreek, barbary fig and linen, said particles having a granulometry equal to or lower than 125 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain the homogeniety of said composition, said cohesion agent being a solvent, a fatty body, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, an emulsion or a mixture thereof.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
125 words
A method for treating the hair or skin so as to impart thereto skin emollient or hair softening properties, said process comprising applying to said hair or skin an amount, effective to impart said properties to said hair or skin, of a composition comprising from 5 to 30 percent by weight based on the total weight of said composition of pulverized particles of a plant selected from the group consisting of cornflower, fenugreek, barbary fig and linen, said particles having a granulometry equal to or lower than 125 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain the homogeniety of said composition, said cohesion agent being a solvent, a fatty body, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, an emulsion or a mixture thereof.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
106 words
A method for imparting softening properties to hair comprising applying to said hair, in an amount effective to impart softening properties thereto, a composition comprising from 5 to 30 precent by weight, based on the total weight of said composition, of pulverized particles of a plant selected from the group consisting of red poppy, mallow and marsh mallow, said particles having a granulometry equal to or lower than 125 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain the homogeniety of said composition, said cohesion agent being a solvent, a fatty body, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, an emulsion or a mixture thereof.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
106 words
A method for imparting softening properties to hair comprising applying to said hair, in an amount effective to impart softening properties thereto, a composition comprising from 5 to 30 precent by weight, based on the total weight of said composition, of pulverized particles of a plant selected from the group consisting of red poppy, mallow and marsh mallow, said particles having a granulometry equal to or lower than 125 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain the homogeniety of said composition, said cohesion agent being a solvent, a fatty body, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, an emulsion or a mixture thereof.
