OXYGEN CARRIER IN THE FORM OF AN EMULSION FOR USE AS A COSMETIC

摘要

The invention relates to an emulsion in the form of a cream or a lotion and to the preparation and use thereof. The inventive emulsion has a caring effect on the skin and at the same improves the diffusive oxygen supply of the epidermis for the purpose of regenerating it and of remedying an oxygen deficiency. The oxygen carrier is a native or differently modified hemoglobin alone or a hemoglobin/myoglobin mixture. It was surprisingly found that the use of one or more oily components together with one or more O/W emulsifiers improves the diffusive oxygen supply of the skin from the exterior while the emulsion-forming components do not impair the stability of the oxygen carrier and its diffusion. The use of the preparation as a cosmetic agent allows a natural coloration and an additional supply of the skin with moisture.
