    [0002]The skin constitutes an organ that is essential to life, which fulfills severalfunctions, the quality of which has a determining influence on the health of anyindividual. More particularly, the skin constitutes an actual barrier towards theenvironment and it is subjected to incessant attack. The quality of its defenses is

    therefore a major component for the effectiveness of its protection.

    [0003]The skin comprises several integrated layers, namely the surface layer(epidermis) and the deeper layers (the dermis and the hypodermis), and each of theselayers has specific properties enabling the whole to react and to adapt to the conditionsof its environment.

    [0004]The epidermis is mainly composed of keratinocytes (90% of the epidermal cells),melanocytes (2 to 3% of the epidermal cells) and Langerhans cells. Its thickness variesover various parts of the body.

    [0005]The dermis is thicker, and is mainly composed of collagen, elastin andproteoglycans. These three types of molecules are synthesized by the dermal fibroblasts.

    9/20

    Collagen fibers provide the mechanical strength and texture of the skin, elastin isresponsible for the elasticity, and proteoglycans play a major role in the structure andhydration of the skin. Other cells such as macrophages and leukocytes are also presentin the dermis layer.

    [0006]The hypodermis is the deepest layer of the skin, and contains adipocytes whichproduce lipids so that the subcutaneous tissue can produce a fatty layer that protects themuscles, the bones and the internal organs against shocks.

    [0007]Skin aging may be intrinsic, or extrinsic that is to say caused by the environment,including climatic attacks, which may especially contribute to accelerating thedegradation of the collagen of the dermis, and in particular sun exposure, temperaturevariations and free radicals. The first signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles and finelines, are generally caused by stress and biological and physiological changes,accelerated by the outside environment or by lifestyle. The appearance of pigmentmarks, the decrease in the thickness of the skin and its sagging are also changes

    observed during aging. It is known that the ability of the skin to replace damagedcollagen decreases over time, and consequently gaps and irregularities appear in thecollagen network.

    [0008]Thus, the skin functions are constantly stressed, and especially the epidermisthrough its keratinization function, the dermis through its fibroblast function, thedermal-epidermal junction through its anchoring function and its regulating function,and also microcirculation through its nutritional and oxygenating function.

    [0009]Skin protection must focus, as a priority, on the cutaneous surface as anydisturbance of the stratum corneum and of the surface hydrolipid film has effects on thedeeper structures of the skin. Vascularization and microcirculation must also be takeninto consideration in order to ensure the maintenance of a good cutaneous equilibrium.

    [0010]Numerous compositions intended to protect the skin against the damaging effectsof ultraviolet radiation are known, and these compositions may contain screening agentsor pigments that form a sunscreen. For example, it is possible to use hydrophilic orlipophilic UV-A and UV-B sunscreens which may be chosen from benzophenone or a

    benzophenone derivative such as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (EUSOLEX4360), or a cinnamic acid ester such as 2-ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (PARSOLMCX), or else a cyano-,-diphenylacrylate such as octocrylene (EUSOLEX OCR),

    4-methylbenzylidene camphor (EUSOLEX 6300), and derivatives ofdibenzoylmethane such as 4-isopropyl dibenzoylmethane (EUSOLEX 8020), and 4-methoxydibenzoylmethane. These screening agents may be used separately or incombination, as in patents EP 514 491 and EP 685 225. It is also possible to use

    pigments that form an ultraviolet-resistant screen; these pigments may, for example, bechosen from titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide or else aluminum oxide. In

    particular, it is possible to use metal oxide nanopigments having a particle size between5 and 100 nm, such as those described in Patent Application EP 518 773.

    [0011]Various treatments have also been proposed for protecting skin and reducing thesigns of skin aging. For example, treatments based on compositions such as creams and

    lotions that contain -hydroxy acids or retinoids, applied regularly, have been proposedfor gradually reducing the number of wrinkles and fine lines.

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    10/20

    [0012]However, although all these known products and methods may have a favorableeffect on the signs of skin aging, for example by protecting the skin, or by masking orreducing wrinkles, they generally only have a limited effect on the development whichleads to these signs of aging.

    [0013]Furthermore, some cosmetic compositions are known that comprise mineralcompounds. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,857,306 describes compositions intended formakeup which may contain powders based on colored precious stones in a highlyviscous liquid carrier. However, these various mineral compounds derived from

    precious stones have been used in compositions due to their colored or particle sizeproperties; on the other hand, no skin protection property has been demonstrated.Application WO 2005/044185 describes a composition intended for protecting the skinagainst electromagnetic emissions that contains a combination of a cationic compound,a mineral compound such as fuchsite or malachite and metal particles. Patent FR2805743 describes the use of nephrite jade powder in a composition due to its known

    medical effects. U.S. Pat. No. 5,985,021 describes the use of silimanite (aluminasilicate), topaz, zeolite and hematite in soaps and cosmetic compositions due to the

    beneficial effects that they are supposed to have on the skin. Patent Application US2002/012681 relates to a cosmetic composition comprising mineral powders havingfluorescence properties. However, these compositions do not make it possible to

    procure both an effective protection against radiation and an activation of themicrocirculatory functions of the skin.

    [0014]It therefore appeared desirable to develop cosmetic or dermatologicalcompositions capable of providing an excellent surface protection for the skin and more

    particularly a composition providing:

    [0015]protection against the damaging effects of electromagnetic radiation and againstthe physical and chemical attacks of the environment in order to preserve its naturaldefenses, to maintain a good local hydration and to preserve its fibroblast function; and

    [0016]activation of the microcirculatory functions in order to improve the nutrition,drainage and oxygenation of the skin.

    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

    [0017]The subject of the present invention is therefore a composition that can be used incosmetology and in dermatology providing skin protection, especially againstelectromagnetic radiation and the attacks of the environment, favoring skinmicrocirculation and capable of maintaining its hydration.

    [0018]The composition according to the present invention, that can be used in cosmeticsand in dermatology to provide skin protection as indicated above, is differentiated inthat it comprises, on the one hand, at least one silicon derivative and, on the other hand,at least one other trace element, as a mixture with a carrier and physiologicallyacceptable excipients.

    [0020]FIG. 2 shows the reflectance spectrum of the mineral concentrate B described inExample 1 below in comparison with titanium oxide (TiO2) taken as a reference.

    [0021]FIG. 3 shows the reflectance spectrum of the composition corresponding to themineral concentrate F described in Example 1, titanium oxide being taken as areference.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

    [0022]More particularly, the composition comprises, on the one hand, a dry powder or amixture of dry powders obtained from precious or semiprecious stones containing atleast one silicon derivative and, on the other hand, an aqueous suspension of powdersobtained from precious or semiprecious stones containing at least one trace element

    other than silicon, to form a mineral concentrate, as a mixture with a carrier andphysiologically acceptable excipients.

    [0023]The composition according to the present invention preferably comprises apowder or a mixture of powders containing, on the one hand, a silicon oxide (silica)and/or a silicate and, on the other hand, one or more trace elements, other than silicon.

    [0024]The trace elements are chosen from iron, copper, zinc, manganese, molybdenum,boron, cobalt, aluminum and selenium.

    [0025]These powders and mixtures of powders based on a derivative of silicon and/orsilicate, and trace elements, are preferably obtained from precious or semipreciousstones and more particularly tourmaline, aquamarine, emerald, citrine, amethyst,malachite, rhodochrosite, smithsonite, rhodolite, lapis lazuli, sapphire, ruby and topaz.

    [0026]Preferably, precious or semiprecious stones are chosen that contain silicon orsilicates, and for example tourmaline which contains borosilicate, aquamarine andemerald which contain an aluminosilicate, and citrine and amethyst which containsilicon dioxide. The precious or semiprecious stones containing trace elements are

    preferably chosen from malachite which contains copper, rhodochrosite which containsmanganese, sapphire which contains aluminum and smithsonite which contains zinc.

    [0027]Thus, according to one preferred embodiment of the invention, the compositioncontains, on the one hand, at least one powder obtained from precious or semipreciousstones containing a silicon derivative chosen from a borosilicate, an aluminosilicate andsilicon dioxide and, on the other hand, at least one powder containing a trace elementchosen from iron, copper, zinc and manganese. The precious or semiprecious stonescontaining a silicon derivative are preferably chosen from aquamarine, tourmaline,emerald, citrine and amethyst, whereas the precious stones containing a trace elementare preferably chosen from malachite, rhodochrosite, sapphire and smithsonite.

    [0028]These precious or semiprecious stones are available in powder form and are

    reduced to powder by milling so as to obtain a particle size between 1 m and 50 m.The average size of the powder particles is preferably less than 50 m, and more

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    12/20

    particularly less than around 20 m.

    [0029]For example, aquamarine is an ultrafine powder, having an average particle sizeof less than 10 microns. Its general formula comprises an aluminosilicate of berylliumwith chromium and traces of magnesium. Its crystal system is hexagonal with a column

    arrangement. The heavy metal doping is less than 50 ppm.

    [0030]Citrine is an ultrafine powder of pale gray color with an average particle size ofless than 10 microns. Its general formula comprises silicon dioxide of iron andmanganese, calcium and titanium. Its crystal system is hexagonal with six sides. Itscontent of heavy metals is less than 50 ppm.

    [0031]According to one preferred embodiment, the composition comprises, as amixture, one or more dry powders containing the silicon derivative and an aqueoussuspension comprising one or more powders containing the trace elements, to form amineral concentrate.

    [0032]The dry powders/suspension of powders weight ratio may be between 1/5 andaround 1/1, this ratio not being limiting.

    [0033]Thus, according to one preferred embodiment of the invention, the compositioncomprises a mixture of dry powders obtained by milling aquamarine, tourmaline, citrineand amethyst, and an aqueous suspension of powders obtained by milling malachite,rhodochrosite and smithsonite, and also a carrier and physiologically acceptableexcipients.

    [0034]The expression "physiologically acceptable", within the meaning of the presentinvention, is understood to mean carriers and excipients of a type commonly used incosmetic and dermatological compositions, that are neutral with respect to the active

    principles used, that do not have a toxic effect and do not give rise to any secondaryeffect that is damaging to the skin.

    [0035]According to one variant, it is advantageous to add sapphire in powder from, inan amount representing between 1 and 20 wt % of the composition, and preferably

    between 5 and 15 wt %, to the above composition. The average size of the particles maybe between 5 and 20 m. Added in powder form, sapphire substantially improves theultraviolet radiation reflectivity and thus increases the solar protection power of the

    compositions according to the invention.

    [0036]The powders containing trace elements such as iron, zinc, copper and manganesemay generally be used in the form of commercially available aqueous extracts orsuspensions. These aqueous extracts or suspensions are soluble in water and aregenerally insoluble in mineral and plant oils. Their solids content is generally between0.2% and 10% and their trace element content between 1 and 15%, or even higher. Theusage concentration of these aqueous extracts or suspensions may be of the order of0.5% to 50% and preferably from 1% to 30%.

    [0037]It may be advantageous to incorporate into the composition a substance that

    improves the coverage, such as, for example, boron nitride. This substance is addedafter mixing the dry powders and the suspended powders.

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    13/20

    [0038]A binder such as a polyol, polyethylene glycol, butylene glycol and glycerol mayadvantageously be incorporated into the composition of the mineral concentrate.According to the invention, preferably glycerol is used.

    [0039]A gelling agent is preferably added to improve the physical properties of thecomposition. It is more particularly possible to use a gelling agent chosen from

    polyacrylamides (for example, of the Carbopol type), acrylate/acrylic acid oracrylamide/acrylamidopropanesulfonic acid copolymers, mixtures based on

    polyacrylamide, and for example a mixture of polyacrylamide, C13-14 isoparaffin andLaureth-7 (SEPIGEL 305 from Seppic), cellulose derivatives such as hydroxypropylcellulose, chitosan, plant mucopolysaccharides and clays.

    [0040]The mineral concentrate containing, where appropriate, boron nitride is diluted inthe gelling agent, and the excipients are added so that the content of the mineralconcentrate in the final composition is between 1% and 15%, preferably between 2%

    and 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

    [0041]Tests carried out with various mineral concentrates according to the inventionhave demonstrated advantageous properties that can be used in cosmetology and indermatology, especially direct skin protection effects, in particular a solar protectioneffect, an antioxidant effect and a thermal and microcirculatory effect.

    Solar Protection

    [0042]Tests were carried out with mineral concentrates diluted to 2.5%, 5% and 10%respectively, in a neutral carrier which may contain the gelling agent (SEPIGEL 305)optionally with the addition of binder, to evaluate the ability to protect against radiation,

    by comparison with a known sunscreen based on titanium oxide, and they demonstratedan excellent efficiency in a wavelength range of 190 to 900 nm, that is to say anultraviolet to infrared range.

    [0043]It is particularly interesting to observe that the results are substantially equivalentto the three concentrations tested of 2.5%, 5% and 10%, which shows that a satisfactory

    protective effect against radiation is obtained from the dose of 2.5% and that, beyondthis value, the effect no longer depends on the dose.

    [0044]More particularly, by using the mineral concentrate having the composition Aindicated in Example 1, the absorption and reflection of UV to IR radiation wereverified by spectroscopy in comparison with titanium oxide. The spectra are representedin the appended FIGS. 1 and 2.

    [0045]FIG. 1 shows the absorption spectrum in a wavelength range from 190 nm to 900nm indicated on the x-axis. The curve A corresponds to titanium oxide (TiO2) taken as areference, whereas the curves B, C and D correspond to the mineral concentrate A ofExample 1, at the concentrations of 10%, 5% and 2.5% respectively. These three curvesare practically superposed, which shows that the absorption effect does not depend onthe dose beyond 2.5%. The gap (1) between curve A and curves B, C and D shows that

    the mineral concentrate of the invention has a higher absorption than titanium oxide.The section (2) of the curves shows that the mineral concentrate has an absorption

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    14/20

    equivalent to that of titanium oxide in the ultraviolet range, and the gap (3) shows thatthe absorption of titanium is greater in this zone.

    [0046]FIG. 2 shows the reflectance spectrum of the mineral concentrate B described inExample 1 below in comparison with titanium oxide (TiO2) taken as a reference. This

    spectrum shows that in the ultraviolet zone, the mineral concentrate of the invention hasa reflectance value greater than that of titanium oxide.

    [0047]FIG. 3 shows the reflectance spectrum of the composition corresponding to themineral concentrate F described in Example 1, titanium oxide being taken as areference. This spectrum clearly shows a very marked increase in the reflectivity in theultraviolet range centered around 345 nm.

    [0048]These results show that the compositions according to the invention provide aneffective protection against radiation, in particular UV rays, without it being necessaryto add a UV screening agent or a sunscreen.

    Direct Protection

    [0049]The immediate protective effect has been verified by a stinging test. This testconsists in producing an irritation by applying a drop of 10% lactic acid onto one of thenasal folds of a patient, then in comparing with a placebo on the other nasal fold. The

    placebo used is physiological serum. The composition of the invention was first appliedto the skin, before application of the lactic acid and the physiological serum, on half ofthe patients. The composition of the invention is the mineral concentrate A fromExample 1 diluted to 2.5% in SEPIGEL 305. The test is carried out on a sample of 10

    patients having delicate and sensitive skin.

    [0050]The degree of irritation is evaluated on a scale of 0 (no irritation) to 10(significant irritation). The average for the patients who have not received thecomposition of the invention is 7.5 whereas it is only 3.5 in patients who have receivedit.

    [0051]This test shows the protective effect of the mineral concentrate according to thepresent invention.

    Antioxidant Effect

    [0052]The mineral concentrate according to the invention has shown an unexpectedantioxidant effect measured by in vivo tests.

    [0053]The evaluation of the antioxidant effect was carried out by measuring thedegradation of squalene under ultraviolet radiation. Squalene is a natural compound

    present in skin sebum which, due to its unsaturated chemical structure, is easilyoxidized after exposure to ultraviolet rays. The oxidation product may be assayed byHPLC chromatography. The principle of the test therefore consists in measuring theintensity of the characteristic HPLC peak of the squalene and of its oxidation product(monohydroperoxide), after controlled exposure to ultraviolet rays.

    [0054]The evaluation procedure consists in applying, to the skin, the mineral

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    15/20

    concentrates A and B of the invention described in Example 1, then in removing asample of sebum from the forehead of each volunteer by means of a strip ofSEBUTAPE after 1 hour of contact with the product, then irradiation with ultravioletrays (Philips UVA-B lamp, delivering 30-40 joules/cm2, placed at 21 cm for 16minutes) in order to oxidize the squalene present in the removed sebum.

    [0055]The surface of the skin was cleaned 5 minutes before the start of the test using aswab soaked with 70 ethyl alcohol so as to remove the lipids present at the surface.Two sebum samples were removed from each volunteer participating in the test bymeans of two strips of SEBUTAPE and each strip was divided into two parts, ofwhich one was exposed to UV rays and the other was not in order to act as a reference.The same tests were carried out with a placebo (same composition without the mineralconcentrate of the invention).

    [0056]The average values of the amounts of non-oxidized squalene detected in thesebum for the mineral concentrates A and B according to the invention, at T0

    (immediately after application of the composition) and at T1 (1 hour after application),are indicated in the following table (amounts in g in the SEBUTAPE strip)

    TABLE-US-00001 T0 T1 Unirradiated mineral 54.45 48.93 56.67 21.34concentrate A Irradiated mineral concentrate 10.68 10.53 14.56 7.61 A Unirradiatedmineral 45.64 26.11 64.48 28.64 concentrate B Irradiated mineral concentrate 11.04 9.69 21.17 11.37 B

    [0057]By being based on a value of 100 for the unirradiated sample, the relativeamounts of non-oxidized squalene are expressed in the table below:

    TABLE-US-00002 T0 T1 Mineral concentrate A 19% 26% Mineral concentrate B26% 33%

    [0058]These results show the effectiveness of the mineral concentrate of the inventionagainst the oxidation of squalene by exposure to ultraviolet rays. The application of acomposition according to the invention to the skin before exposure to the ultravioletrays induces a sebum protective effect.

    [0059]Furthermore, the tests show that the composition of the invention does not havean oxidizing effect, even after exposure, unlike certain oils whose degradation products

    are oxidizing and have a harmful effect for the skin, in particular monoi oils or certainbenzophenones used as solar protection products. This result is all the moreadvantageous since the composition of the invention provides protection againstultraviolet radiation, as indicated above, which then renders the addition of UVscreening agents less useful.

    [0060]Moreover, it has been observed that the mineral concentrate of the invention doesnot modify sebum excretion and therefore does not have an occlusive effect, and that itmay even have a sebum-absorbing effect.

    Effect on Cutaneous Microcirculation

    [0061]The study was carried out on a sample of 5 women aged between 23 and 32 years

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    16/20

    old.

    [0062]The averages of the results are given in the table below. A first measurement iscarried out at the time of application of the mineral concentrate A to the skin (T0) and asecond measurement is carried out 5 minutes later (T1). A single application of 50 mg

    of mineral concentrate is made to the skin of the cheek and the cheekbone on one sideof the face. Measurements of skin thermography are made by means of a camera placedat 62 cm from the patient's face. Measurement of the circulatory flow is carried out indarkness using a Doppler laser.

    TABLE-US-00003 Average values T0 T1 Thermograph 29.65 29.26 Laser (flow)396.16 397.52 Thermocouple 0.65 0.45

    [0063]This study shows that the application of the mineral concentrate A described inExample 1, to the skin, leads to thermal modifications observed by thermography and

    by thermocouple. These modifications are observed only 5 minutes after application to

    the skin.

    [0064]The thermal reduction observed (thermograph and thermocouple) proves that themineral concentrate of the invention very rapidly exerts a shielding effect by decreasingthe heat losses at the surface of the skin, without reducing the circulatory flow measured

    by the Doppler laser. This result is unexpected as a reduction in the circulatory flowwould have been anticipated according to the conventional rules of thermoregulationlinked to the microcirculation. On the contrary, the slight increase in the flow observedis expressed by an energetic action on the vasomotricity induced by the mineralconcentrate of the invention.

    [0065]These various tests show that the mineral concentrate according to the inventionprovides a protective effect against radiation over a range of wavelengths from theultraviolet to the infrared, against skin irritation, antioxidant protection, with a thermalsurface effect, stimulation of the microcirculation, a sebum-absorbing ability withoutocclusive effect, and also perfect tolerance of the skin towards the mineral concentratewithout a sensitization phenomenon.

    [0066]This mineral concentrate constitutes an active principle having useful propertiesthat make it possible to incorporate it into topical compositions for dermatological orcosmetological use, in a concentration which may be between 1 and 50 wt % relative to

    the total weight of the composition, preferably between 1 and 20 wt % and morepreferably between 2 and 10 wt % for the purpose of protecting the skin orstrengthening its natural defenses.

    [0067]According to one embodiment of the present invention, it may be advantageousto incorporate, into the composition, a substance that provides a complementary activitythat can be used, for example, to promote collagen synthesis and, more particularly, alipopeptide such as palmitoyl-lysyl-threonyl-threonyl-lysyl-serine (MATRIXYL fromSederma), generally in the form of an aqueous-alcoholic solution.

    [0068]The mineral concentrate may also be used to reinforce the action of other active

    agents present in such topical compositions to promote skin hydration, solar protection,the fight against inflammatory phenomena, the fight against skin aging and more

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    17/20

    generally the maintenance of good homeostasis.

    [0069]The moisturizer or humectant optionally incorporated into the composition maybe chosen from moisturizers conventionally used in cosmetic or dermatologicalcompositions, for example a polyol, glycerine (glycerol and glycerol derivatives),

    diglycerine, polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, glyceryl polyacrylates and polymethacrylates,mucopolysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid, chitosan derivatives and derivatives of

    pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. The moisturizer or humectant content is generally between0.1 and 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

    [0070]The customary preservatives of the art of dermatological or cosmetologicalcompositions may be used in the invention, for example an alcohol such as ethanol,isopropanol and phenoxyethanol, benzoic acid and an alkyl p-hydroxybenzoate such asmethyl and propyl p-hydroxybenzoates (methylparaben and propylparaben), or elsechlorophenesin or imidazolidinyl urea. These preservatives may be used separately or incombination.

    [0071]The composition may be completed by various excipients depending on thenature of the desired phases, such as C8-C10 caprylic/capric triglyceride (ESTASAN orMIGLYOL 812), or oleic acid, as constituents of the fatty phase in the case of anemulsion, or cyclopentasiloxane to improve the feel properties of the composition.

    [0072]The compositions according to the invention may be in the form of creams,balms, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, gels, serums,masks, ointments or pomades, and preferably in the form of creams or water-in-siliconeor oil-in-water emulsions. These various galenic forms are prepared according to thecustomary techniques. These compositions may be presented in the form of a makeupsupplement or care products, for example lip balm.

    [0073]The following examples illustrate the invention in greater detail without limitingthe scope thereof. In these composition examples, the parts are expressed by weight,except where mentioned otherwise.

    EXAMPLE 1

    Preparation of a Mineral Concentrate

    [0074]Poured successively into a 1 l container equipped with a mixer were thefollowing powders:

    TABLE-US-00004 aquamarine (average size 10 m) 2.5 g tourmaline (average size 10m) 15.0 g citrine (average size 10 m) 7.5 g

    [0075]After having carefully mixed the powders for around 15 minutes, the aqueousextracts indicated below were introduced:

    TABLE-US-00005 MALAKITE (aqueous extract having 5.0 g/l of copper) 15.0 gRHODOLITE (aqueous extract having 3.0 g/l of manganese) 30.0 g

    [0076]MALAKITE was an aqueous extract of malachite available commercially

  • 7/30/2019 Tratamiento Facial Generador de Endorfinas Con Cuarzo Rosa

    18/20

    (Gattefosse) having a copper content greater than 5 g/l and of which the solids contentwas between 5 and 7%. RHODOLITE was an aqueous extract of rhodochrositeavailable commercially (Gattefosse) having a manganese content between 1.0 and 3.5g/l and of which the solids content was between 0.7 and 1.5%.

    [0077]The mixture obtained continued to be stirred at ambient temperature for around15 minutes, in order to form a mineral concentrate, then a gelling agent was added,composed of 2.0 g of a mixture of polyacrylamide, C13-14 isoparaffin and Laureth-7(SEPIGEL 305) with the addition of 16.5 g of boron nitride (white powder with anaverage grain size equal to 2 m).

    [0078]Thus, a mineral concentrate A was obtained to which a gelling agent and boronnitride had been added, having the weight composition below expressed in parts byweight:
