Abstract

La présente invention concerne une composition, notamment cosmétique, comprenant, dans un milieu physiologiquement acceptable, au moins une endolysine, notamment une endolysine dérivée d'un phage de Staphylococcus aureus, et au moins un tensioactif non ionique comprenant un ou plusieurs résidus glucidiques. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation d'une telle composition pour prévenir et/ou traiter un trouble cutané associé à la colonisation par Staphylococcus aureus chez un individu en ayant besoin, et en particulier pour prévenir et/ou traiter l'acné et/ou l'eczéma chez un individu en ayant besoin, ainsi qu'un procédé cosmétique non thérapeutique de soin de matières kératiniques, en particulier de la peau, comprenant au moins une étape d'application topique d'une telle composition sur lesdites matières kératiniques.
