摘要 |
The invention provides the use of a polymeric component capable of forming liquid crystals upon contact with water, and/or a polymeric component which is in the form of liquid crystals, each of these polymeric components comprising at least one polymeric compound, for the preparation of a composition for the reduction of the activity of hydrolytic enzymes, in particular lipase enzymes or the formation of fatty acids by lipase enzymes, the composition preferably being for reduction of skin irritation, acne, eye irritation, dandruff or for improvement of skin healing. The invention also provides specific personal-care compositions containing these polymeric components. The polymeric compound has preferably a cloud point of 35 DEG C or below, and preferably the polymeric component has a cloud point of 30 DEG C or below or even 25 DEG C or below. The invention also relates to the use of polymeric components which are in the form of liquid crystals which comprise other active ingredients, for preparation of personal-care compositions, and to specific liquid crystals containing active ingredients.
