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: 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.

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: The present invention relates to a skin composition which has an excellent effect on smoothing or repairing wrinkles. The composition comprises Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Palmitoyl-Lysyl-Dioxymethionyl-Lysine) and Piper nigrum (Pepper) seed Extract which combination has been found to result in a synergistic effect on hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) mRNA expression in human fibroblasts. The hyaluronan synthase is responsible for the synthesis of hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) in skin. Hyaluronic acid is a constituent of the extracellular matrix of the skin and responsible for space filling, tissue repair and retention of moisture.

Abstract: The invention refers to a composition with improved tanning effect in cosmetic and dermatological applications. The composition comprises Caffeine, Glycine, Hydrolyzed Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract, Sodium Lactate Methylsilanol, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil and usual cosmetic or dermatological auxiliaries. The composition shows a synergistic tanning effect.
