Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an in-vitro full skin model which comprises a dermal equivalent and epidermal equivalent as well as from about 1 to about 100 three-dimensional sweat gland equivalents with respectively from about 500 to about 500000 sweat gland cells as well as a diameter of respectively from about 100 to about 6000 ?m on a supporting layer. Furthermore, the present disclosure concerns the production of the full skin model as well as the use of this model as an in-vitro model, in screening methods as well as for in-vitro evaluation of the influence of cosmetic substances on the inhibition of sweat secretion as well as body odor.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antiperspirant cosmetic agent which includes at least one specific chitosan and which is free of aluminum-containing compounds, in particular free of halides and/or hydroxy halides of aluminum and/or zirconium. The present invention further relates to the use of a specific chitosan and to a non-therapeutic method for reducing body perspiration. Adding or using the at least one specific chitosan ensures that the sweat gland(s) is/are effectively influenced, thus resulting in a significant reduction in underarm perspiration even in the absence of antiperspirant aluminum-containing compounds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to anhydrous cosmetic compositions which contain a combination of a strongly swelling and a low-swelling water-absorbing component, an odor-absorbing component and a deodorant active ingredient. These compositions have an outstanding deodorizing effect and improved sensory features and additionally result in a minimization of sweat spots on textiles. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a cosmetic product containing these anhydrous compositions and the use of this composition or product for reduction of the body odor released by perspiration. Finally, the present disclosure relates to the use a strongly swelling water-absorbing component in combination with an odor-absorbing component to improve the sensory characteristics of anhydrous deodorant compositions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to deodorant cosmetic compositions including calcium silicate and baking soda. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a cosmetic product containing such compositions and the use of the compositions or products for reduction of the body odor released by perspiration.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an antiperspirant cosmetic composition comprising, a poly(vinylamine-vinylformamide) copolymer having a molecular weight of from about 300 to about 20,000 g/mol in a total amount of from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight, an emulsifier in a total amount of from about 0.05 to about 10% by weight, and an oil component in a total amount of from about 0.05 to about 50% by weight %. The cosmetic has a pH of from about 2.5 to about 7.5, the poly(vinylamine-vinylformamide) copolymer is neutralized or polycationic, and the cosmetic contains an anion selected from chloride, phosphates, and sulphates. The cosmetic does not contain halides and/or hydroxyhalides of aluminium and/or zirconium. These polymers make it possible to provide antiperspirant cosmetic products that do not contain aluminium salts and/or zirconium salts yet are highly effective and have less staining on textiles.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for improving the culture conditions of cultures of primary sweat gland cells and/or three-dimensional sweat gland equivalents, where the culture with from about 500 to about 500,000 sweat gland cells and a diameter of from about 100 to about 6,000 nm is initially prepared and then cultivated in a culture medium with neurotransmitters and/or from about 11 to about 100 ng/ml of at least one growth factor. Cultivation of these cells and models in a culture medium containing at least one neurotransmitter and/or from about 11 to about 100 ng/ml of at least one growth factor leads to an increase of sweat-gland-specific marker proteins. As a result, a loss of function, which occurs with an absence of or only low expression of these markers, can be avoided.

Abstract: Cosmetic agents having a reduced amount of active ingredient, without adversely affecting the deodorizing effect, which also have excellent storage stability, contain in a cosmetically acceptable carrier ethylenediamine disuccinic acid and/or salts thereof and at least one benzalkonium chloride of the formula (I) in which R stands for —H or -ethyl and n stands for an integer from the group of 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 or 17, with the proviso that the total amount of compound(s) of formula (I) is from about 0.05 to about 5% by weight, based on the agent.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for reducing transpiration of the body and/or reducing body odor triggered by the transpiration, in which an antiperspirant cosmetic agent (M1) which has a phosphonate compound having amine and/or hydroxyl groups is applied to the human skin and remains at the application site for at least about 1 hour. The use of the at least one phosphonate compound having amine and/or hydroxyl groups in these methods leads to an antiperspirant effect or to a reduction in body order triggered by the perspiration.
