A polyphenol-rich plant extract is used in combination with at least one hydrating or humectant agent, as cosmetic active agents in a cosmetic composition. The combination improves hydrating and antioxidant cosmetic care.

Use of a polyphenol-rich plant extract as antioxidant in combination with a hydrating or humectant agent

A cosmetic composition includes as active agents, a first active agent consisting of an amber extract, and at least one other cosmetically active agent selected from the group consisting of extracts of, extracts of, magnesium aspartate, peptides acting on muscle contraction, particularly acetyl hexapeptide 3, peptides and their derivatives grafted with a fatty acid, particularly a Cfatty acid, promoting collagen synthesis, particularly palmitoyl oligopeptide pentapeptide 3 or palmitoyl tetrapeptide 7, soy flour hydrolyzates and plant glycolipids, particularly cereal glycosphingolipids and more particularly wheat glycosphingolipids. An amber extract also may be used as a cosmetic agent acting on the dermal supporting proteins and/or the enzymatic systems that degrade the dermal proteins and/or the glycan-type essential components of the extracellular matrix, particularly proteoglycans, for improving the essential biomechanical properties of the skin, namely firmness and elasticity, in the preparation of a cosmetic composition.
