| abstract |
The present invention relates to dermocosmetic compositions comprising a compound containing the structural element of the formula (1), in which the radical Z has the following definition: H, C1-C22 alkyl group, C6-C10 aryl group, C1-C22 alkoxy group or a C6-C10-O-aryl group substituted by a C1-C22 alkyl or C1-C22 alkoxy group, and the radicals R1 to R6 have independently of one another the following definition: H, C1-C22 aIkyl group, C6-C10 aryl group, O, OH, C1-C22 alkoxy group or a C6-C10-O-aryl group substituted by C1-C22 alkyl or C1-C22 alkoxy group, it being possible for R5 and R6 to be bridged in such a way as to form a five- to eight-membered ring, which in the case of a five-membered ring may be part of an oligomer through covalent bonds at positions 3 and 4. The invention further relates to the use of the specified compounds in dermocosmetic preparations and to the use of the dermocosmetics of the invention for reducing damage to skin or hair that is brought about by free radicals. A further subject of the invention relates to the use of the compounds of the invention for raising the shelf life of dermocosmetic preparations. |
