| 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, C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkyl group, C6-C10 aryl group, C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkoxy group or a C<SUB>6</SUB>-C<SUB>10</SUB>-O-aryl group substituted by a C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkyl or C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkoxy group, and the radicals R<SUP>1</SUP> to R<SUP>6</SUP> have independently of one another the following definition: H, C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> aIkyl group, C<SUB>6</SUB>-C<SUB>10</SUB> aryl group, O, OH, C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkoxy group or a C<SUB>6</SUB>-C<SUB>10</SUB>-O-aryl group substituted by C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkyl or C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>22</SUB> alkoxy group, it being possible for R<SUP>5 </SUP>and R<SUP>6</SUP> 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. |
