| abstract |
The invention relates to the use of cyclic carbonates of formula (I) wherein R<1> and R<3> represent, independently of each other, hydrogen, linear and branched alkyl radicals with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R<2> represents a linear or branched alkyl radical with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a CH2-OR<3> group as moisturisers in cosmetic preparations. The use of glycerol carbonate is advantageous. |
