Discussion
Ariadne's thread of patented works for the 2019-2020 financial year, without surprise, reflects an interest in integumentary tissues; the laboratory is prolific of the composition of optical correction¹ or that preventing the signs of senescence² until the decoration methods³. Except the α 30° flexible Mascara tube that will catch up your attention, all purposes are already existing in 1995 but by looking more closely at the claims, it is possible to grasp the intricacy of cosmetology with other fields. Patents releases are the only way to understand the interior of Paris laboratories. Thus, compared to the previous state of research, the benefits of botany are added to those of bacteriology to act on various substrates of the skin. By choosing the best commensal formula present on the epidermis to achieve a desired result, the composition causes an expected cascade of reaction. In a patent published on June 27, 2019¹, work on the variability of skin microbiota is backed by a study presented at the ASCB congress in San Francisco on December 2016² relating to sebum production, the microbiotic population and the barrier functions of the skin.
However, based on the scientific literature, it has been shown that the application of foundation is likely to modify this symposium. The holders therefore forged a principle according to which the cosmetic agent which would re-introduce by application the previous diversity of the skin would be able to improve the hold of the make-up and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. From the outset, it is possible to oppose some questions to which the exploitation of such a compound refers and, first of all, the difficulty of formulating a universally effective agent ( type of skin, age, climate, ie..). And even if there are technical milestones to be overcome, intellectual property rights are immediately effective and are useful in other more abstract fields.
