Abstract: Skin treating composition on the basis of compatible carrier and additional compositions with a content of a defined tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2,4-dion derivatives as active ingredients for thickening the epidermis. The skin treating compositions are applied 1-2 times daily onto the skin for about 3 to 4 weeks. Due to the thickening of the epidermis they cause a reinforcement of the skin, in particular against sun rays, cold and the contact with noxious environmental substances of all kinds. Moreover, the skin treating compositions are suitable for a prophylactic fighting of the so-called old age skin. An object of the invention are novel tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2,4-dion derivative which are active in the aforementioned manner having the formula ##STR1## wherein R denotes H, alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl has substituted arylalkyl or substituted aryl in the aryl portion, R.sup.2 =H is aryl or substituted aryl, R.sup.b =H, denotes aryl or substituted aryl and R.sup.3 =H, represents alkyl or aryl, provided that R.sup.

The skin treating compositions are applied 1-2 times daily onto the skin for about 3 to 4 weeks. Due to the thickening of the epidermis they cause a reinforcmenet of the skin, in particular against sun rays, cold and the contact with noxious environmental substances of all kinds. Moreover, the skin treating compositions are suitable for a proplylactic fighting of the so-called old age skin. An object of the invention are novel tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2,4-dion derivative which are active in the aforementioned manner having the formula ##STR1## wherein R denotes H, alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl has substituted arylalkyl or substituted aryl in the aryl portion, R.sup.a =H is aryl or substituted aryl, R.sup.b =H, denotes aryl or substituted aryl and R.sup.c -H, represents alkyl or aryl, provided that R.sup.

Abstract: Novel 3-amino-tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2,4-diones as well as skin treating compositions on the basis of a physiologically compatible carrier and customary additions containing these novel 3-amino-tetrahydro-1,3-thiazin-2,4-dione derivatives as active ingredients for thickening the epidermis. The skin treating compositions are applied 1-2 times daily on the skin for about 3 to 4 weeks. Due to the thickening of the epidermis they cause a strengthening of the skin protection, in particular against sun rays, cold and the contact with harmful environmental substances of all kinds. Moreover, the skin treating compositions are suitable for prophylactically fighting the so-called ageing of skin.

Abstract: New 3-carbamoyl- and 3-thiocarbamoyl-tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2-thiones are disclosed as skin treatment compositions based upon physiologically-compatible carriers and a content of these compounds as active substance for increasing the skin protection, in particular against sun radiation and contact with environmental substances of all types. The skin treatment compositions are also suitable for prophylactic control of so-called aging skin. The compositions are applied to the skin one or two times daily for about 3-4 weeks.

Abstract: 1,3-diamino-4-(2',2',2'-trifluoroethoxy)-benzene, as well as its acid addition salts, are used as new compounds to serve as coupler substance in hair dyeing compositions and yields with known developer substances 1,4-diaminobenzene and 2,5-diaminobenzylalcohol to stable blue tones without any red fraction. Moreover, the new compounds lead to exceptional black tones and ash tones.
