Abstract: A water-free composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, in the form of a pencil with a cast or extruded lead or a workable paste which is suitable for cosmetic uses, in particular in the field of decorative cosmetics, for coloring, improving the appearance of and caring for keratinic materials such as for example the skin, semi-mucous membranes and mucous membranes, eyelashes, eyebrows and the hair. That preparation includes a specifically matched combination of water-soluble and lipid-soluble active substances in the form of a so-called “active substance cocktail”. The production and use of that composition are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a caloric nutrient solution for human parenteral nourishing, containing at least one reducing sugar and a stabilizer for the sugar or sugars and, if desired, further energizers, the solution being free of amino acids and their salts and containing N-acetyl cysteine as stabilizer. The invention also relates to a multicompartmental system or multiple recipient for human parenteral nourishing, comprising at least one compartment or recipient which contains amino acids and one compartment or recipient which contains the stabilized nutrient solution. Mixing of the two solutions yields color-stable, permanent mixed solutions.
