Abstract
A cosmetic and/or dermatological powder comprising from 5 to 70% of modified starch and from 30 to 95% of oily phase comprising at least one oil. The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a cosmetic and/or dermatological powder comprising at least one modified starch and an oily phase, by (1) preparing an oil-in-water dispersion by mixing an oily phase comprising at least one oil in an aqueous phase comprising at least one modified starch, the oily phase/starch weight ratio ranging from 3:7 to 19:1, and (2) dehydrating the dispersion in order to obtain the powder. The powder may be used just as it is and is useful in particular to care for, cleanse, remove make-up from, make up and/or treat the skin, mucous membranes and/or the scalp.
