Enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives frequently have low stability and are exposed in vitro to a number of denaturing or destabilizing conditions. For example, such substances are sensitive to changes in the medium which surrounds them and to temperature fluctuations.
While vitamins and vitamin derivatives are usually stable as powders, this is not always the case for aqueous formulations. The storage of enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives over an extended period therefore leads to a decrease in their activity. The use of such substances in cosmetics is particularly difficult since these topically applied products are subject to considerable temperature and moisture variations on the skin and, following uniform distribution on the skin, usually dry out rapidly. This can lead to denaturation or destabilization of the enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives before they pass from the depot on the surface of the skin to their site of action in deeper layers of the epidermis.
If enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives are nevertheless to be used as constituents of cosmetics, they have to be used in high concentrations and be transported as quickly as possible to the site of action by suitable transportation or carrier systems.
The problem of the decrease in activity of enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives occurs in particular in formulations in which the substances have to have WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 -3 the highest possible activity over an extended period.
This is the case, for example, for formulations with a uniform release of the enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives over an extended period, which is also referred to as the "depot effect".
For the above reasons, it is necessary to stabilize enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives in cosmetic formulations and to protect them from denaturation.
There may be considered a need in the art to provide cosmetic formulations comprising substances chosen from enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives which are notable for the fact that such substances present in the formulation have high activity which lasts as long as possible and, moreover, the cosmetic formulations are suitable in an advantageous manner for the care and prophylaxis of dry and/or flaky skin..,., 20 In one aspect, the present invention provides cosmetic formulations comprising a) one or more compounds chosen from compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib

15 The ectoins or ectoin derivatives present in the cosmetic formulations according to the invention protect the substances chosen from- .enzymes, vitamins i and vitamin derivatives in the formulation from stress factors, such as variations in the water content and the temperature following topical application to the skin. In addition, ectoin or its derivatives protect said substances against high salt or ion concentrations *in the cosmetic formulation according to the invention.
As a result of the stabilizing effect of the ectoin or *25 2 the ectoin derivatives, the substances present in the WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 6 cosmetic formulation, chosen from enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives, are more slowly destabilized or denatured following application to the surface of the skin, meaning that a depot effect with high activity of the substances chosen from enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives is possible. The substances chosen from enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives are, however, also protected by ectoin or its derivatives in the formulation prior to topical application. This is evident in an advantageous manner from an increase in the storage stability of a formulation which comprises substances of this type.
The protection of the substances chosen from enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives in the cosmetic formulation by ectoin or its derivatives is advantageously effective in various ways on the human skin. For example, the antioxidative effects, the effects directed against the aging of skin ("anti-aging effects"), the effects directed against the formation of wrinkles, the skin-smoothing effects and the keratolytic effects of these substances on the human skin are aided or protected as a result, i.e. the premature loss or the premature reduction of these effects as a result of the loss or the decrease in activity of the substances chosen from enzymes, vitamins and vitamin derivatives is counteracted.

Healthy human skin is colonized on its surface, the Stratum corneum, by a large number of microorganisms which live commensally. From the great diversity of these microorganisms, only a few live continually on the skin and thus form the resident skin flora. The main representatives of the resident flora on the human skin are Staphylococci, Micrococci, coryneform bacteria and Pityrospora. These live in small colonies on the surface of the Stratum corneum and in the outer epidermis. A second group of microorganisms, which settles temporarily from the outside, in particular on exposed areas of skin, is referred to as transient flora and cannot settle permanently on healthy skin whose microenvironment is heavily determined by the resident microflora. In various regions of the body, the composition of the skin flora varies depending on the microenvironment of the skin. The density of the microorganisms adapts to the respective skin WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 9 environment so that the ecology of these regions of the body is not unbalanced by excessive settlement by microorganisms. Compared with the normal state of the skin, the number of microorganisms decreases in the case of dry skin, while the number of microorganisms increases in the case of moist skin, e.g. as a result of inflammatory changes in the case of eczema, by up to 1000-fold.
Being the barrier layer and surface of the human body, the skin is exposed to a large number of external stress factors. The human skin is an organ which, having diverse specialized cell types keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, Merkel cells and intercalated sensory cells protects the body against external influences. A differentiation should be made here between external physical, chemical, and biological influences on the human skin. External physical influences include thermal and mechanical influences, and the effect of radiation. External chemical influences are, in particular, the effect of toxins and allergens. External biological influences include the effect of foreign organisms and the metabolic products thereof.
The surface of the human skin is covered by a fatty film which, depending on the given ratios, is to be considered as an oil-in-water or a water-in-oil emulsion and contains numerous active ingredients, such as e.g. enzymes and vitamins. This fatty film, which has been formed from the lipids released from the sebaceous glands and keratinocytes, preserves the moisture of the skin and protects the body as a skin barrier against unfavorable environmental factors. This sensitive equilibrium of the skin barrier is disturbed by external or internal factors.
WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 10 The microorganisms of human skin are subjected to various stress factors. For example, they can be damaged by drying out or by high salt concentrations on the surface of the skin, e.g. after perspiring, which can lead to damage of the skin barrier. However, some of these microorganisms Staphylococci, Micrococci, Corynebacteria and Brevibacteria usually have the ability to form compatible solutes in order to protect against drying out or high salt concentration and thus contribute to the formation of an intact skin barrier.
The compatible solutes, which are also referred to as stress protection substances, are low molecular weights of substances in cytoplasm.
Hitherto, it has mainly been attempted to effect retention of the skin moisture by hydrophilic substances which themselves bind water Galinski, Experientia 49 (1993) 487-496). However, these hydrophilic substances bind water molecules of the water of hydration as well as free water molecules.
Although this leads to a binding of water molecules, it does not lead to a protection of the hydration sheaths of cells, proteins and cell membranes.
Ectoin-containing cosmetic formulations protect cells, protein, enzymes, vitamins, DNA, cell membranes and biomembranes of the skin against damage as a result of drying out and the withdrawal of water. The hydration effect of ectoin stabilizes the water equilibrium of the Stratum corneum and the skin barrier. Ectoin prevents dry and flaky skin.
In addition, ectoin-containing cosmetic formulations protect the microflora of the skin, which is important for an intact skin barrier, against stress as a result of drying out and high ion concentration after perspiring. The stabilization of the resident skin flora by ectoin or its derivatives is an important WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 11 prerequisite for the equilibrium of the microenvironment of the skin and the formation of an intact skin barrier.
Ectoin and the ectoin derivatives are low molecular weight cyclic amino acid derivatives which can be obtained from various halophilic microorganisms. Both ectoin and hydroxyectoin have the advantage that they do not react with the cell metabolism.
DE 43 42 560 describes the use of ectoin and ectoin derivatives as moisture-donors in cosmetic products.
The compounds chosen from the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib, the physiologically compatible salts of the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib and the stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib can be present in the cosmetic preparations as optical isomers, diastereomers, racemates, zwitterions, cations or as a mixture of these.

The enzyme activity can be determined both in vivo and in vitro by known methods. In vitro determinations of the enzyme activity can be carried out, for example, following the action of stress factors such as e.g.
heat or dryness, using validated enzyme tests which are commercially available for many enzymes, such as e.g.
the "elastase kit". In vivo determinations of the activity of skin enzymes, such as e.g. protease or dismutase, are carried out, for example, by firstly pretreating a certain area of skin with ectoin and then exposing it to a drying stress. Following removal of the enzymes on the skin, e.g. by tape-stripping, enzyme determination is carried out by known methods.
WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 20 Following removal of the skin cells in layers, the enzyme activity of the individual cell layers can be determined.
Within the scope of the present invention, it was investigated whether the enzymes important for cell protection, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and elastase, can be protected against thermal stress by treatment with ectoin.
In aerobic metabolic processes, the action of oxidases in the peroxisomes (cell organells) produces hydrogen peroxide, which is immediately decomposed by the catalase which is also present. Following proteolytic activation by trypsin, elastase hydrolytically cleaves the peptide chains of fibrin, hemoglobin, albumin, casein and other proteins, but in particular elastin.
Elastase is also found, for example, in certain leucocytes, where it is involved in phagocytosis and microorganism defense. In order to prevent disruption of connective tissue in the body by the elastase, its activity has to be carefully controlled, which occurs in the blood stream via inhibitors al-antritrypsin and others, e.g. a2-macroglobin.
It has been found that catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and elastase are more stable toward thermal stress if they are treated with ectoin. The stabilization of these enzymes treated with ectoin is shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, in particular Fig. 1 shows the stabilization of catalase, Fig. 2 the stabilization of glutathione peroxidase, Fig. 3 the stabilization of superoxide dismutase and Fig. 4 the stabilization of elastase. In each of the figures, the difference in the enzyme activity of the enzyme treated with ectoin is compared with the corresponding enzyme not treated with ectoin, the activity of the untreated enzyme being equated with 100%. For example, following WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 21 incubation at a temperature of 40 0 C, the activity of catalase treated with ectoin is approximately higher than catalase not treated with ectoin (see Fig. By contrast, following incubation at a temperature of 500C, the activity of catalase treated with ectoin is around almost 120% higher than catalase not treated with ectoin, i.e. catalase treated with ectoin is more than twice as active following incubation at this temperature as catalase not treated with ectoin (see Fig. Broadly speaking, the stabilizing effect of ectoin on the enzyme activity is considerably more marked for all enzymes investigated for higher incubation temperatures. The greatest effects were found in each case for incubation temperatures of 400C and especially of 50 0
C,
particularly for the enzyme catalase and glutathione peroxidase.
To establish the stabilizing effect of ectoin or its derivatives on vitamins and vitamin derivatives, their chemical and physical stability can be proven by standard tests.
All compounds or components which can be used in cosmetic formulations are either known and available commercially or can be synthesized by known methods.

For this, the enzymes catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and elastase are incubated with ectoin and for the control without ectoin for 30 minutes in a water bath at various temperatures, and then their activity is measured. The base medium for the incubation is 0.25 molar tris-HCl buffer solution with a pH of 6.8. The enzyme concentration is 0.05 mg/ml and the concentration of ectoin is 1 mol/l.
The enzyme activity is determined for catalase according to the method by A. Claiborne Claiborne 'Catalase Activity' in: R.A. Greenwald Handbook of Methods for Oxygen Radical Research, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL. (1986) 283-284], for glutathione peroxidase according to the method by L. Floh6 and W.A. Ginzler Floh6 et al., Methods Enzymol., 105 (1989) 114-121], for superoxide dismutase according to the method by H.P. Nissen and H.W. Kreysel Kreysel et al., 'Superoxide Dismutase in Human Semen', Klin.

WO 00/07559 PCT/EP99/05238 25 The results for catalase are given in Fig. 1, for glutathione peroxidase in Fig. 2, for superoxide dismutase in Fig. 3 and for elastase in Fig. 4. In each of the figures, the difference in the enzyme activity of the enzyme treated with ectoin is compared with the corresponding enzyme not treated with ectoin as "activity for the various incubation temperatures, the activity of the untreated enzyme being equated as 100%. For an incubation temperature of 50°C, the activity of catalase treated with ectoin is, accordingly, almost 120% higher than that of catalase not treated with ectoin, i.e. for this incubation temperature, the activity of catalase treated with ectoin is approximately 2.2 times as high as the activity of catalase not treated with ectoin (see Fig. 1).
