摘要

The present invention relates to an oily extract of Mimosa tenuiflora, preferably bark of Mimosa tenuiflora, capable of being obtained by extraction using at least one fatty substance, in particular a fluid vegetable oil, as well as its use, for example in a cosmetic composition, for softening and moisturizing the skin, stimulating its cell regeneration and for preventing the signs of skin aging and reducing the effects of skin aging. The cutaneous application of the extract on the skin induces the densification of the papillary dermis thanks to cell regeneration.
