The invention relates to the use of chromen-4-one derivatives of the formula I n n where R 1 and R 2 may be identical or different and are selected from H, —C(═O)—R 7 , —C(═O)—OR 7 , alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, hydroxyalkyl groups and/or cycloalkyl groups and/or cycloalkenyl groups, R 3 is H or alkyl groups, R 4 is H or OR 8 , R 5 and R 6 are selected from —H, —OH, alkyl groups, alkenyl groups and hydroxyalkyl groups, and R 7 is H, alkyl groups, a polyhydroxyl compound, such as, preferably, an ascorbic acid radical or glycosidic radicals, and R 8 is H or alkyl groups, where at least two of the substituents R 1 , R 2 and R 4 -R 6 are different from H or at least one substituent from R 1 and R 2 is —C(═O)—R 7 or —C(═O)—OR 7 , for the care, preservation or improvement of the general state of the skin or hair. |
