Claims
- 1. A method for moisturizing the skin, comprising applying to the skin an amount of a composition effective to moisturize the skin, wherein said composition comprises, in a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable vehicle, a moisturizing agent comprising at least one aminoalcohol derivative containing a urea functional group of the following formula (I): ##STR8## in which: R.sub.1 represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms;
- R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched, saturated alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
- R.sub.3 represents a linear or branched, monohydroxylated or polyhydroxylated, saturated alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein, in the formula (I), R.sub.1 represents a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, C.sub.10 -C.sub.18 alkyl radical, R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen or the methyl group and R.sub.3 represents a radical:
- --(CH.sub.hd 2).sub.n --(CHOH).sub.m --Z in which n represents an integer equal to 0 or 1, m represents an integer of between 0 and 5 and Z is a monohydroxylated or polyhydroxylated alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein Z is: ##STR9##
- 4. A method according to claim 2, wherein the R.sub.3 radical is:
- 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the compound corresponding to the general formula (I) is: N-dodecylaminocarbonyl-N-methyl-D-glucamine;
- N-octylaminocarbonyl-N-methyl-D-glucamine;
- 1-dodecyl-3-(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl)urea;
- N-dodecylaminocarbonyl-D-glucamine;
- 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-3-dodecylurea;
- 1-dodecyl-3-(2-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-1-methylethyl)urea;
- 1-(2-ethylhexyl)-3-(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl)urea; or
- N-(4Z)-octadec-9-enylaminocarbonyl-N-methyl-D-glucamine.
