Description

The present invention relates to beaded cosmetic dosage forms, in particular those containing stabilized stabilized oxidation-sensitive or UV-sensitive active ingredients.

The present invention relates to cosmetic or dermatological preparations containing active ingredients for the care and protection of the skin, in particular the sensitive and dry skin as well as in the foreground standing of the skin aged or aged by intrinsic and / or extrinsic factors and to support the dermatological lipid metabolism and the use of such active ingredients and combinations of such active ingredients in the field of cosmetic and dermatological skin care.

Cosmetic skincare primarily means that the natural function of the skin acts as a barrier against environmental influences (eg dirt, chemicals, microorganisms) and against the loss of endogenous substances (eg water, natural fats, electrolytes) strengthened or restored.

If this function is disturbed, it may lead to increased absorption of toxic or allergenic substances or the infestation of microorganisms and as a result to toxic or allergic skin reactions.

The aim of skin care is also to compensate for the daily loss of fat and water loss of the skin. This is especially important when the natural regeneration capacity is insufficient. In addition, skin care products to protect against environmental influences, especially from the sun and wind, and delay the aging of the skin.

• a) Trockenheit, Rauhigkeit und Ausbildung von Trockenheitsfältchen,
• b) Juckreiz und
• c) verminderte Rückfettung durch Talgdrüsen (z. B. nach Waschen).

The chronological skin aging is z. B. caused by endogenous, genetically determined factors. In epidermis and dermis it comes due to aging z. As to the following structural damage and dysfunction, which may also fall under the term "senile xerosis":

• a) dryness, roughness and formation of dryness wrinkles,
• b) itching and
• c) diminished fatty acid regeneration (eg after washing).

• d) Sichtbare Gefäßerweiterungen (Teleangiektasien, Cuperosis);
• e) Schlaffheit und Ausbildung von Falten;
• f) lokale Hyper-, Hypo- und Fehlpigmentierungen (z. B. Altersflecken) und
• g) vergrößerte Anfälligkeit gegenüber mechanischem Stress (z. B. Rissigkeit).

Exogenous factors, such as UV light and chemical noxae, can be cumulatively effective and z. B. accelerate the endogenous aging processes or supplement them. In epidermis and dermis it comes in particular by exogenous factors z. As to the following structural damage and dysfunction in the skin, which go beyond the extent and quality of the damage in chronological aging:

• d) Visible vascular dilations (telangiectasias, cuperosis);
• e) slackness and formation of wrinkles;
• f) local hyper-, hypo- and false pigmentation (eg age spots) and
• g) increased susceptibility to mechanical stress (eg cracking).

The present invention relates in particular to products for the care of naturally aged skin, as well as for the treatment of the consequential damages of photoageing, in particular of the phenomena listed under a) to g).

Products for the care of aged skin are known per se. They contain z. As retinoids (vitamin A acid and / or derivatives thereof) or vitamin A and / or its derivatives. Their effect on the structural damage, however, is limited in scope. In addition, there are significant difficulties in product development in stabilizing the active ingredients sufficiently against oxidative degradation. In addition, the use of vitamin A acid-containing products often causes severe erythematous skin irritation. Retinoids can therefore only be used in low concentrations.

In particular, the present invention relates to cosmetic preparations with effective protection against harmful oxidation processes in the skin, but also for the protection of cosmetic preparations themselves or for the protection of the components of cosmetic preparations from harmful oxidation processes.

The present invention further relates to antioxidants, preferably those which are used in skin-care cosmetic or dermatological preparations. In particular, the invention also relates to cosmetic and dermatological preparations containing such antioxidants. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to cosmetic and dermatological preparations for Prophylaxis and treatment of cosmetic or dermatological lesions such. As skin aging, in particular caused by oxidative processes skin aging.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to active substances and preparations containing such active ingredients for the cosmetic and dermatological treatment or prophylaxis of erythematous, inflammatory, allergic or autoimmune-reactive phenomena, in particular dermatoses.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the present invention relates to combinations of active substances and preparations which serve for the prophylaxis and treatment of photosensitive skin, in particular photodermatoses.

The damaging effect of the ultraviolet part of solar radiation on the skin is well known. While rays with a wavelength less than 290 nm (the so-called UVC range) are absorbed by the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere, rays in the range between 290 nm and 320 nm, the so-called UVB range, cause erythema simple sunburn or even more or less severe burns.

As a maximum of the erythema efficiency of sunlight, the narrower range around 308 nm is given.

For protection against UVB radiation, numerous compounds are known, which are derivatives of 3-Benzylidencamphers, 4-aminobenzoic acid, cinnamic acid, salicylic acid, benzophenone and also of 2-phenylbenzimidazole.

Also for the range between about 320 nm and about 400 nm, the so-called UVA range, it is important to have available filter substances, since its rays can cause reactions in photosensitive skin. It has been proven that UVA radiation leads to damage to the elastic and collagenous fibers of the connective tissue, which causes the skin to age prematurely, and that it is to be regarded as the cause of numerous phototoxic and photoallergic reactions. The damaging influence of UVB radiation can be amplified by UVA radiation.

For protection against the rays of the UVA range, therefore, certain derivatives of dibenzoylmethane are used whose photostability ( Int. J. Cosm. Science 10, 53 (1988) ), is not given sufficiently.

However, the UV radiation can also lead to photochemical reactions, in which case the photochemical reaction products intervene in the skin metabolism.

Predominantly, such photochemical reaction products are free-radical compounds, for example hydroxy radicals. Undefined free radical photoproducts that form in the skin itself may show uncontrolled sequelae due to their high reactivity. But also singlet oxygen, a non-radical excited state of the oxygen molecule can occur on UV irradiation, as well as short-lived epoxides and many others. Singlet oxygen, for example, is distinguished from the normally present triplet oxygen (radical ground state) by increased reactivity. However, there are also excited, reactive (radical) triplet states of the oxygen molecule.

Furthermore, UV radiation counts as ionizing radiation. Thus, there is a risk that ionic species may also be formed upon UV exposure, which in turn may oxidatively interfere with the biochemical processes.

In order to prevent these reactions, additional antioxidants and / or radical scavengers can be incorporated in the cosmetic or dermatological formulations.

It has already been proposed to use vitamin E, a substance with known antioxidant activity in sunscreen formulations, yet here again, the effect achieved lags far behind the hoped for.

The object of the invention was therefore also to provide cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical active ingredients and preparations as well as sunscreen formulations which serve for the prophylaxis and treatment of photosensitive skin, in particular photodermatoses, preferably PLD.

Other names for polymorphic light dermatosis include PLD, PLE, Mallorca acne, and a variety of other names as described in the literature (e.g. A. Voelckel et al, Zentralblatt Skin and venereal Diseases (1989), 156, p. 2 ) are indicated.

Erythematous skin symptoms also appear as side effects in certain skin diseases or irregularities. For example, the typical rash in the appearance of acne is regularly more or less reddened.

Mainly antioxidants are used as protective substances against spoilage of preparations containing them. Nevertheless, it is known that undesirable oxidation processes can also occur in human and animal skin. Such processes play an essential role in skin aging.

In the tower "Skin Diseases Associated with Oxidative Injury" in "Oxidative Stress in Dermatology", p. 323 et seq. (Marcel Decker Inc., New York, Basel, Hong Kong, publisher: Jürgen Fuchs, Frankfurt, and Lester Packer, Berkeley, California) , oxidative damage to the skin and its causes are listed.

Also, for the purpose of preventing such reactions, antioxidants and / or radical scavengers may additionally be incorporated into cosmetic or dermatological formulations.

Although some antioxidants and radical scavengers are known. So is already in the U.S. Patents 4,144,325 and 4,248,861 and numerous other documents have been proposed to use vitamin E, a substance with known antioxidant effect in sunscreen formulations, yet here again, the effect achieved remains far behind the hoped for.

The object of the present invention was therefore to find ways that avoid the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the effect of repairing the damage associated with endogenous, chronological and exogenous skin aging and the prophylaxis should be permanent, sustainable and without the risk of side effects.

To remedy these evils was the object of the present invention.

Furthermore, cosmetic preparations with coenzyme Q-10 from the DE-A-33 09 850 which are suitable for the treatment of skin diseases, for the prevention of dystrophic and dysmetabolic skin conditions and for use in chemical and physical respiratory damage or in delayed respiration associated with aging and wear.

Coenzyme Q-10 is characterized by the following structural formula

In the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication 5800410 the suitability of coenzyme Q-10 for cosmetics is described. It aims to activate skin cell metabolism and suppress oxidation. Coenzyme Q10 has as a result an important function in the prevention of skin damage caused by UV rays and the prevention of skin aging. In 20- to 40-year-olds, skin roughness is improved by moisturizing the skin.

Advantageously according to the invention, the quinones can be selected from the group of biochinones. Biochinones are prenylated quinones that occur in the animal and plant kingdoms and fulfill biochemical functions there. Particularly preferred are ubiquinones and plastoquinones.

Advantageously according to the invention, the hydroquinones can be selected from the group of reduced forms of the corresponding biochinones, that is to say particularly preferably the ubiquinols and plastoquinols.

Ubiquinones are the most widespread u. Depending on the number of isoprene units linked in the side chain, ubiquinones are labeled as Q-1, Q-2, Q-3, etc. or according to the number of C atoms as U-5, U-10, U-15 and so on. They preferably occur with certain chain lengths, eg. B. in some microorganisms u. Yeasts with n = 6. In most mammals, including humans, Q-10 predominates.

Ubiquinones serve the organisms as electron carriers in the respiratory chain. They are located in the mitochondria where they allow the cyclic oxidation and reduction of substrates of the citric acid cycle.

auf. Sie können aus Chloroplasten isoliert werden und spielen als Redoxsubstrate in der Photosynthese beim cyclischen und nichtcyclischen Elektronentransport eine Rolle, wobei sie reversibel in die entsprechenden Hydrochinone (Plastochinol) übergehen. Plastoschinone unterscheiden sich in der Anzahl n der Isopren-Reste und werden endsprechend bezeichnet, z. B. PQ-9 (n = 9). Ferner existieren andere Plastochinone mit unterschiedlichen Substituenten am Chinon-Ring.Plastoquinones have the general structural formula

on. They can be isolated from chloroplasts and play a role as redox substrates in photosynthesis in cyclic and noncyclic electron transport, reversibly converting into the corresponding hydroquinones (plastoquinol). Plastoschinone differ in the number n of isoprene residues and are termed endsprechend, z. Eg PQ-9 (n = 9). There are also other plastoquinones with different substituents on the quinone ring.

A problem of the prior art is that ubiquinones and plastoquinones rapidly decompose in an oxidative environment, but also under UV radiation, and thus lose their effectiveness.

It was therefore an object of the present invention to increase the stability of oxidation-sensitive or UV-sensitive active substances and to provide stable preparations with oxidation-sensitive or UV-sensitive active substances whose effectiveness is maintained over a long period of time.

Liquids can be distinguished with regard to their rheological properties by their flow and deformation behavior. Ideal elastic bodies suffer from external forces an elastic deformation, which causes a spontaneous, complete return of the deformation when removing the external force. Ideal viscous bodies are irreversibly changed in shape by external forces. The increasing deformation is called flow. Most liquids are neither viscous nor ideally elastic, but exhibit both viscous and elastic properties and are therefore referred to as viscoelastic substances.

In the majority of viscoelastic solutions, dispersed particles or gas bubbles will always sediment or rise. They have a finite structure relaxation time. This means that the networks in these systems react to a deformation with a corresponding shear stress. However, this will relax to the value zero in a finite time, so that the entire solution is again in a stable state of rest without voltage. This further means that these solutions have a defined zero viscosity and thus achieve a constant viscosity value at low shear rates.

In contrast to these systems, however, there are also those in which dispersed particles or gas bubbles do not sediment. It is noticeable that these systems only flow above a characteristic value. This value is called yield point. On closer examination of the rheological properties It is striking in these systems that the memory module is independent of the oscillation frequency over the entire frequency range and is always substantially larger than the loss modulus.

In contrast, the amount of complex viscosity does not reach a constant value even at the lowest frequencies, but continues to increase.

Carbopol gels contain acrylic acid polymers which may be linear or cross-linked and which carry a high number of carboxyl groups. In dissolved form, these structures bind water. The neutralization of the carboxyl groups due to their electrostatic repulsion leads to an expansion and thus swelling of the polymer chains. In this state, the Carbopolgele reach their typical rheological properties such. As the increase in the viscosity of the cosmetic preparation and / or formation of a yield point.

The effect of forming a yield point is thus based on the electrostatic repulsion of the carboxyl groups. Additional electrolytes shield these charges. As a result, the networks collapse, the flow limit collapses, particles or gas bubbles can no longer be levitated.

The term "viscosity" refers to the property of a liquid to oppose resistance (toughness, internal friction) to the mutual laminar displacement of two adjacent layers. Today, this so-called dynamic viscosity is defined according to η = τ / D as the ratio of the shear stress to the velocity gradient perpendicular to the flow direction. For Newtonian fluids, η at given temperature is a material constant with the SI unit pascal second (Pa · s).

The quotient ν = η / ρ from the dynamic viscosity η and the density ρ of the liquid is called kinematic viscosity ν and is given in the SI unit m ² / s.

The fluidity (φ) is the reciprocal of the viscosity (φ = 1 / η). In ointments and the like, the use value is among other things determined by the so-called speed. The tackiness of an ointment or ointment base or the like is understood to mean their property of drawing threads of different lengths when parting off; Accordingly, one differentiates between short and long-lasting substances.

While the graphic representation of the flow behavior of Newtonian fluids gives a straight line at a given temperature, significant deviations often occur in the so-called non-Newtonian fluids as a function of the respective velocity gradient D (shear rate γ.) Or the shear stress τ. In these cases, the so-called apparent viscosity can be determined, which does not obey Newton's equation, but from which the true viscosity values can be determined by graphic methods.

bestimmbar ist, wobei
r = Radius der Kugel, v = Fallgeschwindigkeit, ρ_K = Dichte der Kugel, ρ_FI = Dichte der Flüssigkeit und g = Fallbeschleunigung.Falling body viscometry is only suitable for studying Newtonian fluids and gases. It is based on the Stokes law, according to which for the falling of a ball by a liquid flowing around it, the dynamic viscosity η from

is determinable, where
r = radius of the sphere, v = velocity of the fall, ρ _K = density of the sphere, ρ _FI = density of the liquid and g = acceleration of gravity.

Carbopol gels contain acrylic acid polymers which may be linear or cross-linked and which carry a high number of carboxyl groups. In dissolved form, these structures bind water. The neutralization of the carboxyl groups due to their electrostatic repulsion leads to an expansion and thus swelling of the polymer chains. In this state, the Carbopolgele reach their typical rheological properties such. As the increase in the viscosity of the cosmetic preparation and / or formation of a yield point.

The effect of forming a yield point is thus based on the electrostatic repulsion of the carboxyl groups. Additional electrolytes shield these charges. As a result, the networks collapse, the flow limit collapses, particles or gas bubbles can no longer be levitated.

Another aspect of the present invention was therefore to counteract these disadvantages.

Embodiments of the present invention which are advantageous according to the invention can be obtained by the aqueous-based outer flowable gel phase having a content of one or more hydrocolloids into which the substantially spherical particles according to the invention are incorporated.

"Hydrocolloid" is the technological abbreviation for the more correct term "hydrophilic colloid". Hydrocolloids are macromolecules that have a largely linear shape and intermolecular interaction forces, which allow side and major valence bonds between the individual molecules and thus the formation of a net-like structure. They are partially water-soluble natural or synthetic polymers which form gels or viscous solutions in aqueous systems. They increase the viscosity of the water either by binding water molecules (hydration) or by absorbing and enveloping the water in their intertwined macromolecules, while at the same time restricting the mobility of the water. Such water-soluble polymers represent a large group of chemically very different natural and synthetic polymers whose common feature is their solubility in water or aqueous media. The prerequisite for this is that these polymers have one for the Water solubility have sufficient number of hydrophilic groups and are not too strongly crosslinked. The hydrophilic groups may be nonionic, anionic or cationic in nature, for example as follows:

• • organische, natürliche Verbindungen, wie beispielsweise Agar-Agar, Carrageen, Tragant, Gummi arabicum, Alginate, Pektine, Polyosen, Guar-Mehl, Johannisbrotbaumkernmehl, Stärke, Dextrine, Gelatine, Casein,
• • organische, abgewandelte Naturstoffe, wie z. B. Carboxymethylcellulose und andere Celluloseether, Hydroxyethyl- und -propylcellulose und dergleichen,
• • organische, vollsynthetische Verbindungen, wie z. B. Polyacryl- und Polymethacryl-Verbindungen, Vinylpolymere, Polycarbonsäuren, Polyether, Polyimine, Polyamide,
• • anorganische Verbindungen, wie z. B. Polykieselsäuren, Tonmineralien wie Montmorillonite, Zeolithe, Kieselsäuren.

The group of cosmetically and dermatologically relevant hydrocolloids can be classified as follows:

• Organic, natural compounds, such as agar-agar, carrageenan, tragacanth, gum arabic, alginates, pectins, polyoses, guar flour, locust bean gum, starch, dextrins, gelatin, casein,
• • organic, modified natural substances, such. Carboxymethyl cellulose and other cellulose ethers, hydroxyethyl and propyl cellulose and the like,
• • organic, fully synthetic compounds, such as As polyacrylic and polymethacrylic compounds, vinyl polymers, polycarboxylic acids, polyethers, polyimines, polyamides,
• • inorganic compounds, such. As polysilicic acids, clay minerals such as montmorillonites, zeolites, silicic acids.

Strukturformel I in der R ein Wasserstoff oder eine Methylgruppe darstellen kann.Hydrocolloids which are preferred according to the invention are, for example, methylcelluloses, which are referred to as the methyl ethers of cellulose. They are characterized by the following structural formula

Structural formula I in which R can represent a hydrogen or a methyl group.

Particularly advantageous for the purposes of the present invention are also generally referred to as methylcelluloses cellulose mixed ethers, in addition to a dominating content of methyl additionally 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-hydroxypropyl or 2-hydroxybutyl groups. Particularly preferred are (hydroxypropyl) methylcelluloses, for example those sold under the trade name Methocel E4M by Dow Chemical Corp. available.

Also advantageous according to the invention is sodium carboxymethylcellulose, the sodium salt of the glycolic acid ether of cellulose, for which R in structural formula I can be a hydrogen and / or CH ₂ -COONa. Particularly preferred is sodium carboxymethylcellulose, also known as cellulose gum, available under the tradename Natrosol Plus 330 CS from Aqualon.

Also particularly preferred for the purposes of the present invention is xanthan (CAS No. 11138-66-2), also called xanthan gum, which is an anionic heteropolysaccharide, which is generally formed by fermentation from corn sugar and isolated as the potassium salt. It is produced by Xanthomonas campestris and some other species under aerobic conditions with a molecular weight of 2 × 10 ⁶ to 24 × 10 ⁶ . Xanthan is formed from a chain of β-1,4-linked glucose (cellulose) with side chains. The structure of the subgroups consists of glucose, mannose, glucuronic acid, acetate and pyruvate. Xanthan is the name given to the first microbial anionic heteropolysaccharide. It is produced by Xanthomonas campestris and some other species under aerobic conditions with a molecular weight of 2-15 10 ⁶ . Xanthan is formed from a chain of β-1,4-linked glucose (cellulose) with side chains. The structure of the subgroups consists of glucose, mannose, glucuronic acid, acetate and pyruvate. The number of pyruvate units determines the viscosity of xanthan. Xanthan is produced in two-day batch cultures with a yield of 70-90%, based on carbohydrate used. Yields of 25-30 g / l are achieved. The workup is carried out after killing the culture by precipitation with z. B. 2-propanol. Xanthan is then dried and ground.

A particularly advantageous gelling agent for the purposes of the present invention is also carrageenan, a gel-forming and similar to agar-based extract of North Atlantic, to the Florideen counting red algae (Chondrus crispus u. Gigartina stellata).

Frequently, the term carrageenan is used for the dried algae product and carrageenan for the extract thereof. The carrageenan precipitated from the hot-water extract of the algae is a colorless to sand-colored powder having a molecular weight range of 100,000-800,000 and a sulphate content of about 25%. Carrageenan, which dissolves very easily in warm water; Upon cooling, a thixotropic gel forms, even if the water content is 95-98%. The strength of the gel is effected by the double helix structure of the carrageenan. Carrageenan has three main components: The gel-forming κ fraction consists of D-galactose-4-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-α-D-galactose, which are alternately glycosidically linked in the 1,3- and 1,4-positions (Agar, in contrast, contains 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose). The non-gelling λ-fraction is composed of 1,3-glycosidically linked D-galactose-2-sulfate and 1,4-linked D-galactose-2,6-disulfate residues u. easily soluble in cold water. The ι-carrageenan composed of D-galactose-4-sulfate in 1,3-bond and 3,6-anhydro-α-D-galactose-2-sulfate in 1,4-bond is both water-soluble and gel-forming. Other carrageenan types are also denoted by Greek letters: α, β, γ, μ, ν, ξ, π, ω, χ. The type of cations present (K ⁺ , NH ₄ ⁺ , Na ⁺ , Mg ²⁺ , Ca ²⁺ ) also influences the solubility of the carrageenans.

Polyacrylates are also advantageously gelators to be used in the context of the present invention. According to the invention advantageous polyacrylates are acrylate-alkyl acrylate copolymers, in particular those from the group of so-called carbomers or carbopols (Carbopol ^® is actually a registered trademark of the BF Goodrich Company). In particular, the acrylate-alkyl acrylate copolymers which are advantageous according to the invention have the following structure:

In this formula, R 'represents a long-chain alkyl radical and x and y represent numbers which symbolize the respective stoichiometric proportion of the respective comonomers.

According to the invention particularly preferably acrylate copolymers and / or acrylate-alkyl acrylate copolymers, which are available under the trade names Carbopol ^® 1382, Carbopol ^® 981 and Carbopol ^® 5984 from BF Goodrich Company are.

Also particularly advantageous are copolymers of C _10-30 -alkyl acrylates and one or more monomers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or their esters, which are cross-linked with an allyl ether of sucrose or an allyl ether of pentaerythritol.

The list of said UV filters which can be used in the context of the present invention is of course not intended to be limiting.

Advantageously, the particulate phase contains the substances that absorb UV radiation in the UV-A and / or UV-B range, in a total of z. B. 0.1 wt .-% to 30 wt .-%, preferably 0.5 to 20 wt .-%, in particular 1.0 to 15.0 wt .-%, each based on the total weight of the particulate phase.

It is possible and according to the invention optionally advantageous, if not mandatory, to provide not only the particulate phase but also the external flowable gel-based phase with a content of UV filter substances, as long as the turbidity requirements are met. As a rule, water-soluble UV filter substances are used in the outer gel phase.

When water-soluble UV filter substances are to be used in the outer gel phase, they contain the substances which absorb UV radiation in the UV-A and / or UV-B range, in a total amount from Z. B. 0.1 wt .-% to 30 wt .-%, preferably 0.5 to 20 wt .-%, in particular 1.0 to 15.0 wt .-%, each based on the total weight of the outer gel phase.

In order to produce the particles which constitute the inner solid particulate phase, a method can be advantageously used, which consists of DE 44 24 998 A1 is known. In this process, the composition constituting the particulate phase, or optionally a composition from which the particulate phase is to develop, and which is preferably in flowable form, is shaped into a liquid jet directed to the hardening environment, and in that the formation of the portions is carried out by dividing the liquid jet into defined sections in such a way that the sections move substantially in the direction of the liquid jet before the curing environment.

This method can currently be configured that from the composition of which the particulate phase consists, or possibly a composition from which the particulate phase is to develop, a liquid jet is first formed in which the liquid particles move in the direction of the Move the curing environment. After the liquid jet has been formed, it is mechanically divided into defined sections, the sections thus formed continuing to move in the direction predetermined by the fluid jet. The division of the liquid jet is thus carried out by periodically removing liquid from the liquid jet, thereby forming the defined sections. The length of these sections can be kept so short that during the remaining movement to the curing environment, in particular the surface of a hardening medium, due to the surface tension of the liquid medium, an at least approximate spherical shape is formed so that spherical particles are formed.

For liquid media which have a certain viscosity, it is expedient if the liquid medium for forming the liquid jet is forced through the nozzle. This is usually done by the application of an overpressure in the reservoir or in the line to the liquid jet.

In many applications, there is a need to provide the preferably spherical particles with a coating. If desired, if this coating is allowed to cure in the same environment, it is possible according to the present invention to already coat the formed portions of the liquid medium prior to curing by creating at least one transverse liquid jet with a liquid suitable for coating through which the formed portions pass.

The liquid transverse jet may expediently be formed as a flat jet, so that the possible passage area for the sections is increased.

A modification of the method may consist in that the nozzle arrangement is arranged to form at least one liquid jet and below the nozzle arrangement a movable sub-apparatus for the at least one liquid jet is arranged.

The sub-device can be positioned directly at the outlet of the nozzle assembly.

Preferably, the moving part device is rotatably driven and equipped with the liquid jet interrupting elements. By the rotating drive of the sub-device, a particularly simple construction of the device according to the invention can be achieved.

In an advantageous embodiment, the elements interrupting the liquid jet can be radially oriented radial elements which are realized by wires, plastic threads or the like. The elements can be formed without their own dimensional stability and receive their radial orientation only during the rotation of the sub-device.

In another embodiment, a rotating disk with liquid jet passage openings arranged close to each other on a radius can be used. The webs between the passage openings thereby form the liquid jet interrupting elements.

The dividing device is expediently surrounded by a cylindrical housing, which is open at least in the region of the liquid jet and has a collecting recess for collecting liquid that runs down the housing wall. In this way, the liquid jet interrupting the elements is collected radially outward thrown liquid and can the associated Reservoir be fed back. The collecting recess is preferably formed by a circumferential groove, which is provided with a drain.

In order to formulate the above-mentioned coating of the particles, the apparatus may comprise a transverse jet directed at the liquid jet downstream of the sub-assembly, directed at an angle to the liquid jet and connected to a reservoir for a liquid suitable for coating. The transverse nozzle can represent a flat jet nozzle.

In an exemplary embodiment, a liquid jet of a cell emulsion in a sodium alginate solution may emerge from the nozzle and the transverse jet may be formed by a cell-free sodium alginate solution, while in the receiver 5 there is a CaCl ₂ solution as the hardening medium.

When passing through the transverse jet, which is preferably in the form of a flat jet, the cell-containing liquid sections are enveloped with the cell-free alginate solution for 3 minutes and then immediately crosslinked, so that migration of the cells from the core into the coating layer can not occur, since the Ca ions travel much faster into the cell Alginate drops diffuse as the cells can move.

It is possible to provide a conventional cosmetic container with a preparation according to the invention in such a way that the inner particulate phase reaches a densest possible spherical packing (space filling the cubic closest packing: about 74%), the cavities are filled by the outer aqueous gel phase.

However, this is not always desirable and does not always have practical advantages. It is therefore preferred that the volume ratio of inner particulate phase to outer aqueous gel be selected in the range of about 20%: 80% to 50%: 50%.
