Abstract: The invention relates to balneological preparations, especially bath and shower preparations, which, as a pourable or liquid premixture concentrate, contain liposome-forming components, such as phospholipids, in addition to natural and/or synthetic lipids, and are also provided as mixtures containing primarily vegetable proteins, surfactants, and optional additives. When entering in contact with an excess of water, the stable systems directly form skin-active proteoliposomes having a catalytic activity for enhancing transfer of active ingredients into the skin. The stable systems can be used directly or in diluted or solid forms of application (such as lipid-containing proteasome shower preparation, proteasome bath powder, and the like).

Abstract: The present invention relates to isometric agglomerates of an essentially spherically shaped form, especially bath beads, and the cosmetic, therapeutic and hygienic use thereof. The invention is especially concerned with agglomerates on the basis of carriers of natural origin such as collagen, gelatine, starch, cellulose or urea, which comprise both lipids and vesicle forming agents as well as emulsifying components and optionally additives, without impairing the stability or activity thereof. The agglomerates when contacting water, especially in a bathing, will form liposomal mono- up to multi-layer structures thereby enabling an improved transport of active compounds. This will result in an improved balneological/or therapeutic action as well as a caring effect in the sense of a reconstruction of the skin barrier function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions having bioactive transfer proteins in stable carrier systems. Such systems are above all suitable for influencing/changing lipid cell structures by means of improved lipid exchange, while at the same time having great stability. In this connection, not only transfer proteins and lipid components, but also protective colloids are used, by means of which an impairment of the transfer effect of the proteins and a loss of stability can be avoided. The compositions are suitable for external topical use for cleansing, care, dermatological and/or therapeutic treatment of the skin, hair, or mucous membranes.

Abstract: The invention relates to skin oils containing fat, containing one or more oil soluble components, one or more W/O emulsifiers with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of 2-6, preferably 5.9, one or more vesicle forming lipids and, optionally, one or more additives selected from etherical oils, antioxidants, perfumed materials, preservatives, active ingredients, UV filters, vitamins, consistency modulators and solubilizers. The invention also relates to the production and the use of said skin oil, particularly as a skin care oil, sport oil, massage oil or sun protection oil. Said skin oils can be applied on dry skin and particularly on wet skin. Said oil is self-emulsifying and spontaneously forms liposomes. Said oil also has the advantage as it can easily penetrate the skin without leaving a disturbing layer of fat thereon.

Abstract: The invention relates to fatty skin oils containing at least one oil-soluble constituent, at least one O/W-emulsifier having and HLB value of between 2 and 6, preferably between 2 and 5, 9, and optionally at least one additive selected from ethereal oils, antioxidants, scented substances, preservatives, active ingredients, UV filters, vitamins, thickeners, and solubilisers. The invention also relates to the production of said oils and the use of the same as skin oils, especially as skin care oils, sport oils, massage oils or sun oils. Said skin oils can be applied to dry skin and especially lo wet skin, having a self-emulsifying action and the advantages related thereto, soaking easily into the skin without leaving an unwanted greasy film.
