Abstract

The invention relates to a revitalizing active complex for the skin and cosmetic products produced thereby. Said active complex for the skin consists of between 0.5 and 9 wt. % of creatine or a creatine derivative, between 0.1 and 40 wt. % of water-soluble glycogen, between 0.1 and 10 wt. % of a phospholipid, and between 0.1 and 5 wt. % of a cosmetically acceptable gel, water making up the remainder of the 100 wt. %, said mixture of creatine, glycogen and phospholipid being homogeneously distributed in the aqueous gel.

Claims (23)

1. A revitalizing active complex for the skin, said complex comprises

0.5 to 8 wt. % of creatine or a creatine derivative,

0.1 to 40 wt. % of water-soluble glycogen,

0.1 to 10 wt. % of a phospholipid,

0.1 to 5 wt. % of a cosmetically acceptable gel, and water making up the remainder of the 100 wt. %, wherein the mixture of creatine, glycogen and phospholipid is homogeneously distributed in the aqueous gel.

2. An active complex according to claim 1 , wherein the complex contains 0.05 to 10 wt. % of a β-(1,3)-glucan, wherein said β-(1,3)-glucan is obtained from yeast by means of an gentle ultrasonic decomposition process.

3. A cosmetic preparation comprising the active complex of claim 1 , in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 22 wt. % relative to the total weight of the preparation.

4. A cosmetic preparation comprising the active complex of claim 1 , in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 12 wt. %.

5. A cosmetic preparation comprising the active complex of claim 1 , further comprising 0.5 to 15 wt. % of asymmetric lamellar aggregates,

wherein said asymmetric lamellar aggregates comprise fluorocarbons and phospholipids, and

where said asymmetric lamellar aggregates are loaded with oxygen.

6. A cosmetic preparation comprising the active complex of claim 1 , further comprising 0.5 to 10 wt. % of magnetically hard single-crystals comprising barium hexaferrite and having a coercivity of between 3,000 and 5,000 oerstedts and having particle sizes ranging from 50 to 250 nm, and, optionally, 0.5 to 15 wt. % of asymmetric lamellar aggregates,

wherein said asymmetric lemallar aggregates comprise fluorocarbons and phospholipids, and

where said asymmetric lamellar aggregates are loaded with oxygen.

7. A cosmetic preparation comprising the active complex of claim 1 , further comprising 0.1 to 10 wt. % of a second complex consisting of a) an aqueous gel base which contains an encapsulated extract obtained by means of an aqueous extraction of pineapple fruit and b) the residue of an aqueous extraction of yogurt, wherein both extraction processes are carried out at a temperature ranging from 10 to 30° C. and wherein the ratio of pineapple extract to yogurt residue ranges from 20:80 to 80:20.

8. A cosmetic preparation comprising a revitalizing active complex for the skin, said complex comprises

0.5 to 8 wt. % of creatine or a creatine derivative,

0.1 to 40 wt. % of water-soluble glycogen,

0.1 to 10 wt. % of a phospholipid,

0.1 to 5 wt. of a cosmetically acceptable gel, and water making up the remainder of the 100 wt. %,

wherein the mixture of creatine, glycogen and phospholipid is homogeneously distributed in the aqueous gel, and

wherein said cosmetic preparation is a cosmetic gel, a cream, a lotion, a make-up or a stick.

9. A cosmetic preparation according to claim 8 , wherein said cosmetic preparation contains an inorganic or organic sunscreen.
