The subjects pointed out Be Apply a dry skin and aging of the skin especially in the form of wrinkles on the application.

at a first panel of five subjects (group I) became a composition according to the invention based on the embodiment 9 used (combination of Centella asiatica (tiger grass) and Moringa pterygosperma (beech tree)). The composition of the invention was about a period of 14 days twice a day to a defined Skin area of the face (right side of the face) applied. On another skin area (left face half) became applied a comparison composition in which - at otherwise comparable composition - the aforementioned, Both herbal extracts have been replaced by water are.

at Another group of subjects also five subjects (Group II) was in a similar manner to Group I. tested the composition 9a.

at another group of five subjects (Group III), a comparative composition was used in which - with otherwise the same composition as the Composition according to Example 9 - the Extract of Moringa pterygosperma (beech tree) by a comparable Amount of water has been replaced. The one used in group III The composition was thus a mono-composition containing a single extract of Centella asiatica (tiger grass) only.

• 1.) Im Rahmen eines ersten Untersuchungskomplexes wurde der Einfluß der jeweils in den Gruppen I bis IV eingesetzten Zusammensetzungen auf die Hautfeuchtigkeit ermittelt. Die Hautfeuchtigkeit wurde unmittelbar vor dem Beginn der Anwendung, d. h. vor dem ersten Auftragen der Zusammensetzungen (t = 0 Tage), sowie nach 14 Tagen bestimmt (t = 14 Tage). Die Bestimmung der Hautfeuchtigkeit erfolgte mittels eines Corneometers^®. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Streukondensator, dessen Kapazität durch die dielektrischen Eigenschaften des Stratum corneum mitbestimmt wird. Für weitere diesbezügliche Einzelheiten kann verwie sen werden auf das Fachbuch ”Kosmetik und Hygiene: Von Kopf bis Fuß. Entwicklung, Herstellung und Anwendung kosmetischer Mittel”, Wilfried Umbach, 2004, Wiley-VCH, ISBN 3527309969 .

In another group of five subjects (Group IV), a composition was tested in which - with otherwise the same composition as the composition according to Example 9 - the extract of Centella asiatica (tiger grass) has been replaced by an appropriate amount of water. Thus, the composition used with respect to Group IV is a mono-composition containing a single extract of only Moringa pterygosperma (Behenbaum).

• 1.) In the context of a first investigation complex, the influence of the compositions used in groups I to IV on the skin moisture was determined. The skin moisture was determined immediately before the start of the application, ie before the first application of the compositions (t = 0 days), as well as after 14 days (t = 14 days). Determination of skin moisture was carried out by a Corneometer ^®. This is a leakage capacitor whose capacitance is determined by the dielectric properties of the stratum corneum. For further details, refer to the textbook "Cosmetics and hygiene: from head to toe. Development, Production and Application of Cosmetic Agents ", Wilfried Umbach, 2004, Wiley-VCH, ISBN 3527309969 ,

The The results obtained were in the school grading system (1 = very good Improvement of skin moisture; 6 = no improvement in skin moisture or even further deterioration) compared to the one on other skin area applied comparison composition (without Plant extracts). Based on the invention Compositions will be a significant improvement in skin dryness which clearly shows the effect of the mono-compositions goes.

• 2.) In einem zweiten Untersuchungskomplex wurde der Einfluß der jeweils in den Gruppen I bis IV eingesetzten Zusammensetzungen auf die Faltenbildung der Haut ermittelt. Die Hautfalten wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Anzahl und ihrer Ausprägung (Faltengröße bzw. -länge sowie Faltentiefe) unmittelbar vor dem Beginn der Anwendung, d. h. vor dem ersten Auftragen der Zusammensetzungen (t = 0 Tage), sowie nach 14 Tagen t = 14 Tage) optisch begutachtet, wobei das Gesamterscheinungsbild mittels des Schulnotensystems beschrieben wurde (1 = sehr geringe Faltenbildung, vorhandene Falten sind nur sehr schwach ausgeprägt; 6 = starke Faltenbildung, Falten sind tief und oftmals sehr lang). Als Bezug dient das mit der Vergleichszusammensetzung behandelte Hautareal. Mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung werden eine deutliche Reduktion der Hautfalten sowie eine deutlich schwächere Ausbildung verbleibender Hautfalten beobachtet.

Table 1 below shows the group-specific results (mean values): TABLE 1 Group I according to the invention Group II according to the invention Group III not according to the invention Group IV not according to the invention t = 0 days t = 14 days t = 0 days t = 14 days t = 0 days t = 14 days t = 0 days t = 14 days 4.6 1.3 5.0 1.5 4.8 2.8 4.5 3.2

• 2.) In a second investigation complex, the influence of the compositions used in groups I to IV on the wrinkling of the skin was determined. The skin folds were optically assessed in terms of their number and severity (wrinkle size or length and wrinkle depth) immediately before the start of the application, ie before the first application of the compositions (t = 0 days) and after 14 days t = 14 days) in which the overall appearance was described by means of the school grading system (1 = very little wrinkling, existing wrinkles are only very weak, 6 = pronounced wrinkling, wrinkles are deep and often very long). Reference is made to the skin area treated with the comparative composition. By means of the composition according to the invention a significant reduction of the skin folds and a much weaker formation of remaining skin folds are observed.

• 3.) In einem standardisierten in-vitro-Vollhautmodell für menschliche Haut aus dermalen und epidermalen Komponenten, welches mit der natürlichen Haut physiologisch vergleichbar ist und sich somit für ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Hautalterung über eine Identifikation hautrelevanter Altersmarker (wie z. B. Stratifin) eignet, wurden die vier zuvor genannten Zusammensetzungen I bis IV getestet. Bei den erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzungen I und II konnte eine deutliche Verringerung der betreffenden Altersmarker im Vergleich zu den nichterfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzungen beobachtet werden (Wirkungsgrad um etwa 35% verbessert).

Table 2 summarizes the group-specific results (mean values): Table 2: Group I according to the invention Group II according to the invention Group III not according to the invention Group IV not according to the invention t = 0 days t = 14 days t = 0 days t = 14 days t = 0 days t = 14 days t = 0 days t = 14 days 4.3 2.1 5.1 2.3 4.7 3.5 4.4 3.7

• 3.) In a standardized in vitro full skin model of human dermal and epidermal skin, which is physiologically comparable to natural skin, and thus a method for determining skin aging by identifying skin-relevant age markers (such as Stratifin ), the four aforementioned compositions I to IV were tested. In the compositions I and II according to the invention a significant reduction of the relevant age marker compared to the non-inventive compositions could be observed (efficiency improved by about 35%).

The carried out investigations or application observations prove the excellent effectiveness of the invention cosmetic compositions and the synergistic interaction the respective plant extracts in the context of a binary Combination.
