Use of cosmetics against infrared radiation

摘要

The invention refers to the use of a cosmetic composition for protecting the human skin against infrared (IR) radiation. The invention is characterised by the use of a main mixture for preparing a composition for protecting the skin against infrared radiation, wherein the main mixture comprises a first plant extract mixture of Green Coffee, Camellia Sinensis, Pongamia Pinnata, Angelica Archangelica and Citrus Aurantium; a second mixture of vitamins E and C and derivatives thereof; a third mixture of particular materials of ruby powder, mica and titanium dioxide with a particle size in the range of 3 - 10 µm; and cosmetic auxiliaries for the final composition. The composition shows a synergistic effect because of a significantly higher degree of protection than the single groups of substances.
