Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of skin care. More particularly, the invention relates to a skin care composition that comprises growth-enhancing compounds which promote the development of a healthy skin microbiome. These growth-enhancing compounds are metabolized by the microorganisms of the skin microbiome after their topical application to the skin, thereby supporting growth of the microorganisms. The growth-enhancing compounds and compositions comprising same can be used for treating or preventing skin diseases, for promoting the development of a healthy skin microbiome, for stabilizing a healthy skin microbiome, and for promoting growth of bacteria of the skin microbiome.

Abstract: A skin care composition for promoting the skin microbiome. The composition is formulated for topical application to the skin and comprises (a) lactic acid, lactate or a mixture thereof; (b) urea; and (c) caprylic/capric triglycerides.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment or alleviation of erythema which comprise an aqueous extract of Radix Glycyrrhizae inflatae or licochalcone A and optionally one or more ethoxylated or propoxylated raw materials and/or one or more polyols.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations with a content of an aqueous extract of Radix Glycyrrhizae inflatae or licochalcone A, one or more ethoxylated or propoxylated raw materials, optionally one or more polyols.

Abstract: A composition of matter that is suitable for use on skin or hair. The composition comprises one or more compounds of formula wherein Rx, Ry, R3 and R5 are as defined in the specification, and at least one other component or element.

Abstract: The invention relates to agents that are to be applied to the skin or hair and contain compounds for intensifying tanning of the skin and increasing melanin synthesis in skin or hair. The invention particularly relates to cosmetic or dermatological preparations. Using said preparations results in inducing and intensifying the tanning mechanisms of the skin, intensifying the hair color, and thus also increasing intrinsic protection of the skin or hair.

Abstract: The invention relates to agents for use on skin or hair, particularly for increasing skin tanning and the synthesis of melanin in skin or hair. The invention contains, in particular, cosmetic or dermatological preparations containing quadruply substituted cyclohexene compounds. The use of the preparations leads to the induction and intensification of the tanning mechanisms of skin, the intensification of hair color and thus also to an intensification of the skin's and hair's intrinsic protection.

Abstract: A composition of matter that is suitable for use on skin or hair. The composition comprises one or more compounds of formula wherein R1, R2, R3 and R5 are as defined in the specification, and at least one other component or element.

Abstract: Use of licochalcone A or an extract of radix glycyrrhizae inflatae containing licochalcone A in cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment and prophylaxis of the symptoms of intrinsic and/or extrinsic aging of the skin and for the treatment and prophylaxis of the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on the skin.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations with a content of an aqueous extract of Radix Glycyrrhizae inflatae or licochalcone A, one or more ethoxylated or propoxylated raw materials, optionally one or more polyols.
