The invention relates to the use of an extract of the fungusfor maintaining and/or increasing the cohesion of the skin tissues, for preventing the appearance of and/or for reducing shadows and/or bags in the area around the eyes, for maintaining and/or increasing the radiance and/or homogeneity of the skin complexion and/or for maintaining and/or increasing the barrier function of the skin and/or for increasing the skin microcirculation. The invention also relates to the extract ofor a dermatological composition comprising same, for its use for reducing ruddiness and/or for preventing and/or reducing pathologies resulting from a reduction in the cohesion of the skin tissues, notably itching and/or couperosis.

Cosmetic and dermatological uses of an extract from the fungus

The invention is directed to a skin-whitening agent comprising at least one sugar fatty acid ester and at least one plant extract selected from the group consisting of extracts of, extracts ofand mixtures thereof. The invention is further directed to cosmetic compositions comprising such a skin-whitening agents.

[object Object]

A cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition includes a peptide parathyroid hormone fragment, derivatives thereof, salts thereof, and combinations thereof, where the peptide fragment conforms to the structureR1-NH-AA-R2where R1 is selected from the group consisting of &#x2014;H, a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl group having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms optionally functionalized with an &#x2014;OH, &#x2014;SH, &#x2014;COOH or &#x2014;CONH2 group, or a sterol group which is bonded by a functional group with the peptide; where R2 is &#x2014;OH, &#x2014;OH functionalized by a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, or a sterol group; and where AA corresponds completely or partially to the sequence of amino acids according to SEQ ID No. 1 corresponding to the PTH (28 to 34) region.

Cosmetic preparations containing PTH fragments

Cosmetic compositions comprising calcium citrate and at least one N-acylated aminoalcohol according to formula (I).  Provided is a method of treating aged skin, comprising topically applying to the aged skin a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) in an amount effective to provide an anti-ageing effect. The compound of Formula (I) is used to prevent skin and/or to help to maintain or improve moisture retention and/or to fight against the signs of skin ageing. The N-acylated aminoalcohol of formula (I) acts as a ceramidase inhibitor. The combination of at least one compound of formula (I) and calcium citrate stimulates keratinocyte differentiation.

Cosmetic composition containing calcium citrate and N-acylated aminoalcohol derivative

The invention is directed to the cosmetic use of tetrapeptides according to formula (I) R-Val-Leu-Leu-Lys-R(I) wherein Ris linked to the NH2-terminal group of the peptide and is chosen from the group consisting of &#x2014;H, a linear saturated or unsaturated or branched saturated or unsaturated acyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, which may be functionalized by a &#x2014;OH, &#x2014;SH, &#x2014;COOH or &#x2014;CONHgroup wherein Ris the terminal carboxylic group of the peptide either as &#x2014;COORor &#x2014;CO&#x2014;NH, and wherein Ris chosen from the group consisting of &#x2014;H, a linear saturated or unsaturated or branched saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, which may be functionalized by a &#x2014;OH, &#x2014;SH, &#x2014;COOH or &#x2014;CONHgroup. The invention is also directed to the respective tetrapeptides and cosmetic compositions containing these.

Cosmetic composition containing oligopeptides

Cosmetic composition containing calcium citrate and N-acylated aminoalcohol derivative to prevent dry skin and signs of cutaneous ageing

The present invention relates to substances which can be used as cosmetic ingredients, especially for skin whitening and as cosmetic agents against signs of ageing skin. The present invention also relates to the use of such substances for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of disorders related to the pigmentation of the skin. The invention furthermore relates to specific substances.

Use of derivatives of sinapinic acid and compositions comprising such derivatives

Oligopeptides according to formula (I) and/or (II), R-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH(I, SEQ ID NO:1); R-Tyr-Pro-PhePhe-NH(II, SEQ ID NO:2), wherein Ris linked to the NH-group of the amino-terminal part of Tyr and is selected from the group consisting of &#x2014;H; a linear saturated or unsaturated or branched saturated or unsaturated acyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, which may be functionalized by a &#x2014;OH, &#x2014;SH, &#x2014;COOH or &#x2014;CONH+ group; a sterol or a sphingolipid group which is linked to the amino terminal part of Tyr via a bifunctional linker are disclosed. Cosmetic compositions containing the oligopeptides are also disclosed.

Oligopeptides and cosmetic compositions containing the oligopeptides

The present invention relates to substances which can be used as cosmetic ingredients, especially for skin whitening and as cosmetic agents against signs of ageing skin. The present invention also relates to the use of such substances for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of disorders related to the pigmentation of the skin.

Use of derivatives of 4-hydroxyphenoxy acetic acid
