A cosmetic is disclosed for aiding the transport of oxygen in the skin, as well as a process for preparing the same and its use. The problem with known cosmetics is the insufficient oxygen supply to the skin and adjacent tissues. The object of the invention provides a means to go beyond the stratum corneum of the skin and the epiderm by penetration processes in order to increase the oxygen concentration in the corial zone and adjacent tissues and to activate the metabolic processes. For that purpose, a cosmetic with asymmetrical lamellary aggregates consists of phospholipids and an oxygen-loaded fluorocarbon compound or a fluorocarbon compound mixture. The proportion of fluorocarbon compound lies in a range from 0.2 to 100 % by weight/volume, and it is contained in an excipient appropriate for dermatological uses. This cosmetic is prepared by emulsifying its components and is used in salves, creams, lotions, liquids, alcoholic extracts, pastes, powders, gels, tinctures on or plasters and bandages, or in a spray. |
