Combination of lycopene, polyphenol, and vitamins for the care of keratin materials
The present invention relates to the cosmetic use, by the oral route, of a combination of lycopene, of vitamin C, of vitamin E and of at least one polyphenol compound derived from pine bark as active ingredient intended for maintaining and/or restoring the biomechanical properties of keratinous materials, and notably of the skin.
1. A method for treating bags and rings under the eyes comprising orally administering a composition comprising lycopene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and at least one polyphenol compound derived from pine bark as active ingredients.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a value of the ratio of the content by weight of the polyphenol compound to a sum of the contents by weight of the lycopene, the vitamin C, and the vitamin E is between 0.05 and 1.2.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a daily dose of the lycopene is between 1 and 22 mg.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a daily dose of the vitamin C is between 10 and 105 mg.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a daily dose of the vitamin E is between 1 and 17 mg.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a daily dose of the polyphenol compound is between 6 and 75 mg.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition maintains and/or restores the properties of tonicity, firmness, pliability, and/or density of the skin.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition improves the quality of the nails.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition combats cutaneous signs induced by weight loss.
10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition prevents and/or treats skin disorders induced by menopause.
11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition combats lack of skin elasticity and/or tone.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition treats cutaneous signs of fatigue, periocular bags, periocular rings, and skin that is dull and lacking radiance.
14. The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the composition treats periocular bags and a daily dose of the lycopene is between 2 and 11 mg, and/or a daily dose of the vitamin C is between 20 and 70 mg, and/or a daily dose of the vitamin E is between 3 and 12 mg, and/or a daily dose of the polyphenol compound is between 13 and 50 mg.
15. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyphenol compound derived from pine bark has a content of phenolic trimers that range from 5 to 25 wt.% relative to the total weight of the composition.
16. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyphenol compound derived from pine bark has a content of polyphenolic dimers of at least 5 wt.% relative to the total weight of the composition.
17. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyphenol compound derived from pine bark has a content of phenolic acids from 2 to 15 wt.% relative to the total weight of the composition.
18. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lycopene is lactolycopene.
