Abstract: The invention relates to complexes of certain flavonoid derivatives, of the formula I compositions which comprise such derivatives, corresponding processes for the preparation of the flavonoid derivatives or of compositions comprising same, and the use thereof, in particular for the care, preservation or improvement of the general state of the skin or hair. Formula (1), in which Z1 to Z4 and Z6 to Z10 each, independently of one another, denote H, OH, CH3COO, alkoxy, hydroxyalkoxy, mono- or oligoglycoside radicals and where the alkoxy and hydroxyalkoxy groups may be branched and unbranched and can have 1 to 18 C atoms. Formula (II) denotes, Z5 is a mono- or the oligoglycoside radical, where bonded to this glycoside radical, in each case via an —O— group, is at least one radical selected from certain benzo molecule.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of tiliroside or tiliroside-containing extracts from parts of a plant selected from the Sterculiaceae family, to corresponding extracts, and to the use of the extracts or process products in cosmetics or topical applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel flavonoid derivative, to an extract comprising the flavonoid derivative, to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical use thereof, to preparations comprising the flavonoid derivative or extract, and to a process for the preparation of the flavonoid derivative or extract.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic formulations, pharmaceutical preparations, food products and food supplements containing flavonoid derivatives. The flavonoid derivatives act therein, for instance, as UV filter. Some flavonoid derivatives represent novel compounds.
