摘要

The invention relates to the use of a composition (C) for preventing or slowing down the appearance of unsightly signs relating to the presence of excess sebum on the skin and/or the scalp, with the composition (C1) comprising, for 100% of its weight: a) between 60.0 wt.% and 75.0 wt.% of an organic solvent (SO) selected from 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, or a mixture of said 10 compounds; b) between 0.1 wt.% and 2.0 wt.% of a composition (ES) comprising a quantity by weight x, expressed as equivalent by weight, of 1-O-(2-caffeoyl)maloyl-3,5-O-dicaffeoyl quinic acid, which is higher than or equal to 200 mg/g of at least one compound of general formula (I): formula (I), in which Q₁, Q₂, Q_3, Q₄ and Q₅ are, independently from each other, the hydroxyl radical or one of the salts thereof or a radical selected from the radicals caffeoyl, maloyl, caffeoyl maloyl and maloyl caffeoyl, with the understanding that at least one of said radicals Q₁, Q₂, Q_3, Q₄ and Q₅ is neither the radical -OH, nor one of the salts thereof; and c) between 20.0 wt.% and 35.0 wt.% of water.
