Abstract: Adhesive bandages are provided with a water-vapor permeable back layer and an adhesive layer, in which the adhesive layer includes 10 weight percent of a disperse internal phase of hydrophilic particles that are water-swellable in an outer phase that includes at least 10 weight percent of a styrene block copolymer and at least 20 weight percent of an ester resin of colophony, and that can further contain at least one anti-virus substance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to adhesive bandages provided with a water-vapor permeable back layer and an adhesive layer, in which the adhesive layer includes 10 weight percent of a disperse internal phase of hydrophilic particles that are water-swellable in an outer phase that includes at least 10 weight percent of a styrene block copolymer and at least 20 weight percent of an ester resin of colophony, and that can further contain at least one anti-virus substance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laminate that has at least two layers, in which at least one layer of the laminate is a water-soluble polymer film containing active substances (=“water-soluble polymer film containing active substances”), the polymer forming the film is a water-soluble polymer, and at least one second layer of the laminate is a nonwoven fabric, knitted fabric, woven fabric or a foam film (=“water retention layer”) consisting of a water-soluble polymer. The water-soluble polymers of the two layers are identical or different. The invention further relates to the production of such a laminate and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is a hydrogel which includes a combination of at least four polysaccharides. These polysaccharides are those which are in the natural state and which are not produced, altered or modified by chemical reactions. The combination of konjac mannan, xanthan gum, pullulan and carrageenan and optionally sclerotium gum produces, within certain concentration ranges, a stable, slightly sticky, neutral smelling, flexible and transparent hydrogel which can be used as a cosmetic product for skin care.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrogel formed from water, at least one gel former, at least one pharmaceutical active ingredient or cosmetic ingredient and, optionally, further auxiliaries and additives obtainable by a) mixing water and optionally including auxiliaries and additives when appropriate, b) adding the gel former and homogenizing the mixture, c) adding the pharmaceutical active ingredient or cosmetic ingredient and, optionally, ionic compounds which induce gel formation, and homogenizing the mixture, d) pouring out the mixture onto a support and e) cooling the mixture to form the hydrogel, where steps a) to d) are carried out at a temperature between 79 and 95° C. This hydrogel is suitable for administering cosmetic ingredients onto or via the skin or mucous membrane of a human, in particular in the form of a cosmetic face pack.

Abstract: An object made of at least two layers is disclosed, in which a first layer is a biologically degradable water-soluble support material containing an active agent and connected to at least one second layer, which is made up of a biologically degradable but water-insoluble material in the form of fibers. The active agents can be pharmaceutical agents, cosmetics, cleaning agents, agrochemicals and biocides. The object serves for the controlled release of at least one active agent based on the effect of water. The fiber structure of the second layer permits a control of the speed of water entry and/or exit.

Abstract: An article is disclosed which constitutes a multilayered plaster for application to the skin. It comprises an adhesive layer (1), a printed carrier layer (2), a coating layer (3) comprising at least one fragrance and a removable protective layer (4). In one particular embodiment, the fragrance is contained in microcapsules.
