Description

The The invention relates to topical cosmetic or dermatological compositions for skin treatment that counteract skin aging and its signs.

medium and treatment methods to treat mature or intrinsic or extrinsically aged or photodamaged skin, in particular for anti-wrinkle treatment, are a significant cosmetic challenge. The aging process is characterized by a progressive transition of skin cells from a proliferative status into a resting, senescent status. This transition corresponds to aging at the cellular level, on which much is the macroscopic aging effects can be traced. The number of cells in the tissue decreases and can be due to a lack of proliferating Cells are no longer refilled. Thereby can no repairs of the surrounding tissue performed Defects accumulate, causing the skin to become atrophic and slackened. This effect is reinforced among other things also by UV light, which also pollutes the skin and its aging and relaxation accelerates, among other things by free radicals.

Of the Present invention was based on the object preparations for Treatment and significant reduction in manifestations of To provide skin aging, the market so far Outperform products. It was another Object of the present invention, a new, stable and cosmetically effective skincare preparation for the prophylaxis and treatment of Skin aging symptoms, in particular wrinkles and wrinkles, to develop. In particular, the skin care preparation should have a have the highest possible antioxidant activity to free To be able to intercept radicals.

It It has now been found that the known compositions in Their properties can be improved if certain known ingredients in these agents with an extract from the plant Tinospora crispa.

advantageously, are the skin treatment compositions of the invention in the form of a liquid, flowable or solid oil-in-water emulsion, water-in-oil emulsion, Multiple emulsion, in particular an oil-in-water-in-oil or water-in-oil-in-water emulsion, macroemulsion, miniemulsion, Microemulsion, PIT emulsion, nanoemulsion, Pickering emulsion, hydrodispersion, a hydrogel, a lipogel, a single- or multi-phase solution, a foam, a powder or a mixture with at least a polymer suitable as a medical adhesive. The means may also be in anhydrous form, such as an oil or a balm. Here, the carrier a vegetable or animal oil, a mineral oil, a synthetic oil or a mixture of such oils be.

In a particular embodiment of the invention Means are the means as microemulsion. Under microemulsions be in the context of the invention in addition to the thermodynamically stable Microemulsions and the so-called "PIT" emulsions Understood. These emulsions are systems with the 3 components water, oil and emulsifier at room temperature present as an oil-in-water emulsion. When heating These systems are formed in a certain temperature range (as Phase inversion temperature or "PIT") Microemulsions, which in further heating in Convert water-in-oil emulsions. When followed Cooling again O / W emulsions are formed, but even at room temperature as microemulsions or as very finely divided Emulsions with a mean particle diameter below 400 nm and especially from about 100-300 nm. According to the invention such micro or "PIT" emulsions preferred be, which have a mean particle diameter of about 200 nm.

With The term perfume oil are preferably in themselves meant perfume compositions commonly referred to Product scenting, and in particular human Discretion are fragrant. This will be explained with an example. Will a professional z. B. make a deodorant fragrant, so adds He usually does not just give him a (well) smelling Substance, but a collective (well) smelling substances. Such a collective usually consists of a multitude individual fragrances, z. B. more than 10 or 15, preferably to to 100 or more. These fragrances cooperatively form a desired one fragrant, harmonious smell.

One Perfume oil according to the invention can individual fragrance compounds, eg. B. the synthetic products of the type of esters, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and hydrocarbons contain. Fragrance compounds of the ester type are e.g. B. benzyl acetate, Phenoxyethyl isobutyrate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, Dimethylbenzylcarbinylacetate (DMBCA), phenylethylacetate, benzylacetate, Ethylmethylphenylglycinate, allylcyclohexylpropionate, styrallylpropionate, Benzyl salicylate, cyclohexyl salicylate, Floramat, Melusat and Jasmecyclat. The ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether and Ambroxan, to the aldehydes z. B. the linear alkanals with 8-18 C atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxy-acetaldehyde, cyclamen aldehyde, lilial and Bourgeonal, to the ketones z. As the Jonone, α-Isomethylionon and methyl cedryl ketone, to the alcohols anethole, citronellol, eugenol, Geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol, to the hydrocarbons are mainly the terpenes like limonene and pinas. However, mixtures of different fragrances are preferred used, which together form an appealing scent of the formed Create perfume oil.

The But perfume oils can also be natural Fragrance mixtures contain as accessible from plant sources are, for. Pine, citrus, jasmine, patchouly, rose or ylang-ylang oil.

Around to be perceptible, a perfume must be volatile, besides the nature of the functional groups and the structure the molecular weight of the chemical compound also plays an important role plays. So most perfumes have molecular weights up to about 200 Dalton, while molar masses of 300 Daltons and above tend to be constitute an exception. Due to the different volatility of fragrances, the smell of one of several changes Fragrances of compounded perfumes during Evaporation, where the odor impressions in "top note" (top note), "heart note" (middle note or body) and "base note" (end note or dry out) divided.
