Abstract: One or more free radical scavengers are used as prophylactically or therapeutically effective substances amd microparticles having an average particle size ranging from 5 to 200 ?m for the preaparation of a topuical pharmaceutical compostion for the protection or treatment of skin or hair damages caused buy chemotherapeutic treatment. The invention also concerns a method for the protextion or treatmnent of skin or hair damages of a mammal caused by chemotherapy. A kit for the protextion or treatment of hair damages caused by chemotherapeutic treatment consists of a topical composition including microparticles together with the free radical scavengers and a shampoo for an effective hair cleaning and supporting the hair treatment. A kit for the protection or treatment of skin damages caused by chemotherapy consists of a topical composition including microparticles together with free radical scavengers and a cleansing milk for an effective skin cleaning and supporting the skin treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic sun protection product based on W/Si emulsions, which product has improved effectiveness and, despite high content of organic sun protection filters, a very good sensory profile and, in particular, a long-lasting soft touch. The sun protection product includes 22-32 wt. % of a volatile, cyclic silicone oil, 2.0-4.0 wt. % of a non-volatile silicone elastomer, 0.9-2.8 wt. % of an emulsifier, 0.1-0.5 wt. % of an amino acid/fatty acid copolymer, 19-24 wt. % of a mixture of organic UVA and UVB filters at a ratio of from 1:1.5 to 1:1; and cosmetic adjuvants, excipients, active substances and mixtures thereof to make 100 wt. %, the Brookfield viscosity of the sun protection product ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 mPas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic preparation which includes a skin care complex having an anti-ageing effect. The complex consists of liposomes comprising a mixture of cosmetic oil, extract of Plukenetia volubilis seeds, extract of Cynara scolymus leaves and hydrogenated retinol. The liposomes are homogeneously dispersed in a gel network consisting of water and a gel-forming agent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition with a moisture-regulating effect based on plant active ingredients with a long-lasting moisturizing effect of up to 24 hours. The cosmetic comprises in each case a watery plant milk of the fruit of Elaeis guinensis, of the leaves of Phoenix canariensis, of the rice husks of Oryza sativa, of the fruit of Cocos nucifera, and a honey complex consisting of acacia honey, eucalyptus honey, pine honey and lavender honey.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic light-protective agent for wavelengths of from 250 to 1400 nm, containing at least methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol as UVA filter; at least one UVB filter; sea buckthorn oil with a refractive index of from 1.4 to 1.59 and a solid with a d50 of from 3 to 50 ?m, selected among citrine, topaz, amethyst, ruby, glass with a refractive index of from 1.500 to 1.599 and mixtures thereof; at least one infrared-absorbing glass with a d50 of from 5 to 50 ?m; a free-radical scavenger, and cosmetic adjuvants and/or excipients and optionally further cosmetic active substances. The agent shows an unexpectedly high light absorption and largely prevents skin damage caused by light of 250-1400 nm in wavelength.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for body shaping by means of a sun-protection agent and a corresponding cosmetic product. The inventive method consists in pre-treating by means of a preliminary product containing a caffeine, algae extract, pineapple extract, radical scavenger, copper gluconate, silylpropionic acid and a melanin-stimulating amino acid-containing agent, in subsequently treating by a main product containing, apart from an UVA- and UVB-Filter, at an ratio ranging from 30:70 to 70:30, a green coffee bean oil whose radical scavenger content is 30-60% less than this of the preliminary agent and in post-treating by means of an after-product which comprises the preliminary product constituents and whose silylpropionic acid content is of 2 to 10 times the content of the preliminary product.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a composition in the production of a dermatological agent for skin treatment under repeated X-irradiation. The composition includes oxygen-bearing asymmetrical lamellar aggregates of phospholipids and fluorocarbons as well as specific water-soluble antioxidants, said composition having a radical protection factor of at least 4000×1014 radicals/mg.
