The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment of the skin containing from 1 to 20% by weight of a polyhydroxyalkylamine having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a member having 3 to 6 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of dihydroxyalkyl and trihydroxyalkyl, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are members selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms and dihydroxyalkyl having from 3 to 4 carbon atoms, and salts thereof, and the remainder up to 100% by weight inert cosmetic excipients; as well as the method of skin treatment.

Process of skin treating with compositions containing

Pyrrolidone-5,5-diphosphonic acids having the formula ##STR1## wherein R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; as well as their water-soluble salts. The pyrrolidone-5,5-diphosphonic acids are excellent sequestering agents especially for alkaline earth metal ions. They are stabilizers for percompounds and are useful in the delaying of the setting times for gypsum. In addition, the compounds are useful as cosmetic preparations such as toothpastes and mouthwashes where they prevent formation of tartar and plaque and are useful in therapy in the treatment of diseases related to the abnormal deposition or dissolution of difficultly soluble calcium salts in the animal body.

Pyrrolidone-5,5-diphosphonic acids

The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment of the skin containing up to 25% by weight of at least one polymer having carboxyl or carboxylate groups and hydroxyl groups of chiefly rectilinear or cross-linked C--C compounds, the ratio of carboxyl or carboxylate groups to hydroxyl groups in said polymer being in excess of 0.5:1, and particularly between 1.1:1 and 16:1, preferably between 2:1 and 9:1, and the polymerization degree being at least 3, preferably 3 to 300; as well as the method of skin treatment.

Skin treating agent containing polyhydroxypolycarboxylate polymers and

The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment of the skin containing up to 25% by weight of at least one N-polyhydroxyalkyl-amine of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy-lower alkyl or aminoalkyl, as well as heterocyclic aminoalkyl, R is the same as R.sub.1 except that both cannot be hydrogen at the same time, R.sub.2 is --CH.sub.2 OH or --COOH, m is the integer 3 or 4, and n is the integer O, or, when m is 3 and R.sub.2 is --CH.sub.2 OH, 1; and the method of skin treatment therewith.

Skin treating cosmetic compositions containing N-polyhydroxyalkyl-amines

Azacycloalkane-2,2-diphosphonic acids having the formula ##EQU1## wherein R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 3 to 5; as well as their water-soluble salts. The azacycloalkane-2,2-diphosphonic acids are excellent sequestering agents especially for alkaline earth metal ions. They are stabilizers for percompounds and are useful in the delaying of the setting times for gypsum. In addition, the compound are useful in cosmetic preparations such as toothpastes and mouthwashes where they prevent formation of tartar and plaque and are useful in therapy in the treatment of diseases related to the abnormal deposition or dissolution of difficultly soluble calcium salts in the animal body.

Azacycloalkane-2,2-diphosphonic acids

Anti-inflammatory cyclic 2-furfural-acetals of the formula ##SPC1## In which X is hydrogen, a lower alkyl preferably having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or nitro, Z is an alkylene of the formula

Anti-inflammatory composition and method containing cyclic

Therapeutic methods employing cyclic aminophosphonic acids having the formula ##EQU1## wherein R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 4; as well as their water-soluble salts. The cyclic aminophosphonic acids are excellent sequestering agents especially for alkaline earth metal ions, useful in cosmetic preparations such as toothpastes and mouthwashes where they prevent formation of tartar and plaque and in therapy in the treatment of diseases related to the abnormal deposition or dissolution of difficulty soluble calcium salts in the animal body.

Therapeutic methods employing cyclic aminophosphonic acids

A method for the treatment of diseases relating to the abnormal deposition or dissolution of difficutly soluble calcium salts in the body of warm-blooded animals which consists of administering orally, parenterally or topically to said warm-blooded animals, a safe but effective amount of at least one pharmacologically acceptable phosphonoalkane-polycarboxylic acid and water-soluble salts thereof.
