Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition for use in protecting the human skin against infrared (IR) radiation. The cosmetic composition includes a first plant extract mixture of Green Coffee Seed Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Pongamia Pinnata Seed Extract, Angelica Archangelica Root Extract and Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange) Peel extract; a second mixture of vitamins E and C and derivatives thereof; a third mixture of particular materials of ruby powder, mica and titanium dioxide, the ruby powder having a particle size of d90<10 ?m; and cosmetic auxiliaries. The composition shows a synergistic effect because of a significantly higher degree of protection than the single groups of substances.

Abstract: The invention refers to a cosmetic composition for increasing collagen synthesis in skin cells comprising 0.001-0.5 wt % of a Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract, 0.00001-2.0 wt % of Dimer Tripeptide-43 or Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, and cosmetic auxiliaries. The cosmetic composition comprising the combination of both components has an synergistic effect on collagen I synthesis in skin cells and has a booster effect to other substances which are known to have an enhancing effect to collagen I synthesis.

Abstract: A cosmetic including two different systems for procurement of actives in the human skin and enhancing the collagen I synthesis. The cosmetic with enhanced collagen I synthesis can include 0.001 to 2% by weight, related to the total weight of the cosmetic, of a first retinol-containing system including retinol encapsulated in a chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose shell, 0.001 to 3.5% by weight, related to the total weight of the cosmetic, of a second retinol-containing system including cationic liposomes composed of phospholipids and with a quaternary fatty acid monoamine with C21-C23 alkyl residue and the difference to 100% by weight of cosmetic subsidiaries. Very small amounts of retinol in combination with both transport systems show a remarkable effect on the synthesis of collagen I in comparison with one or more other known combinations of retinol derivatives or encapsulated systems.
