- substances with a keratolytic effect such as salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, azelaic acid or ellagic acid
- vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, coenzymes substances with a soothing effect
- substances with a soothing effect e.g. plant extracts, such
- argan oil, almond oil, macadamia oil, tea tree oil, etc.), etc. including substances exhibiting antimicrobial properties or other known active substances stimulating skin regeneration.
- the aim of using these compositions is especially skin rehydration, which contributes to at least partial reducing or eliminating wrinkles and/or to accelerating/improving the healing process of wounds/scars or other undesirable skin defects.
- These cosmetic compositions are applied on the skin surface at the site of desired action, e.g. in the form of a (hydro)gel or a cream (ointment), or they are applied by injection as a filler.
- the cosmetic composition applied freely on the skin is exposed to the risk of accidental removal, whereby a certain aesthetic disadvantage, especially in case of prolonged application, is also its visibility.
- the goal of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the current methods for the application of cosmetic compositions by proposing a method for the application of cosmetic compositions on the skin in the form of a (hydro)gel or a cream (ointment), whereby this method would protect the site of aplication as well as the applied composition from external influences.
- the aim of the invention is also to provide a means for the application of the cosmetic composition by the method according to the invention.
- the goal of the invention is achieved by a method for the application of a cosmetic composition in the form of a (hydro)gel or a cream containing at least one active substance, in which the cosmetic composition is applied on the skin at the site of desired action, whereupon it is at least partially overlaid by a barrier layer, which contains polymeric nanofibers made of or containing as one of its components at least one biocompatible polymer and/or its copolymer and/or at least one biopolymer and/or its derivative, and/or before being applied on the skin, the cosmetic composition is applied on the surface of the barrier layer, which is then put on the skin by its surface with applied cosmetic composition, by which means the cosmetic composition and the site of desired action of the active substance/substances close against external influences, but remain accessible to atmospheric oxygen.
- the barrier layer contains at least one active substance which is identical with the active substance of the cosmetic composition and/or at least one active substance which strengthens and/or enhances and/or complements the effect of the active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition, and/or at least one antimicrobial substance.
- this layer is after being overlaid or after the application of the cosmetic composition, or before the application of the cosmetic composition at least partially overlaid by an auxiliary layer, which contains polymeric nanofibers made of or containing as one of its components at least one biocompatible polymer and/or its copolymer and/or at least one biopolymer and/or its derivative.
- auxiliary layer may in case of need contain at least one active substance identical with that contained in the cosmetic composition and/or at least one active substance which strengthens and/or enhances and/or complements the effect of the active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition and/or at least one antimicrobial substance.
- a suitable biocompatible polymer for the preparation of the barrier layer or, if necessary, the auxiliary layer is particularly a biocompatible polymer selected from the group consisting of polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid (PLGA), polyglutamic acid (PGA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), their copolymers, derivatives or their mixtures.
- PCL polycaprolactone
- PLA polylactic acid
- PLGA copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid
- PGA polyglutamic acid
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- PEO polyethylene oxide
- a suitable biocompatible polymer for the preparation of the barrier layer or, if necessary, the auxiliary layer is especially biopolymer selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides (hyaluronic acid, chitosan, pectin, copolymers of glucuronic acid and its derivatives), alginates, peptides and their hydrolysates (collagen, elastin, silk fibroin, zein), cellulose, their copolymers, derivatives or their mixtures.
- polysaccharides hyaluronic acid, chitosan, pectin, copolymers of glucuronic acid and its derivatives
- alginates alginates
- peptides and their hydrolysates collagen, elastin, silk fibroin, zein
- cellulose their copolymers, derivatives or their mixtures.
- the barrier and/or the auxiliary layer may further contain nanofibers made of synthetic polymer and/or nanofibers containing synthetic polymer as one of its components which provides suitable mechanical properties to this layer.
- the suitable synthetic polymer is especially synthetic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamide (PA), polyvinylidene (di)fluoride (PVDF), polyurethane (PUR), their copolymers and mixtures.
- the barrier layer and/or the auxiliary layer is overlaid by a cover layer of material in the form of a (hydro)gel or a cream, which contains a lipid (oil) component, which penetrates into the interfibrous spaces of the barrier layer and/or the auxiliary layer or into its nanofibres and increases its transparency.
- the barrier layer and/or the auxiliary layer is overlaid by a cover layer containing a pigment.
- the cover layer in any of the embodiments may contain at least one active substance which is identical with the active substanceof the cosmetic composition and/or at least one active substance which strengthens and/or enhances and/or complements the effect of the active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition, and/or at least one antimicrobial substance.
- the cover layer is formed directly by the cosmetic composition.
- At least one active substance which strengthens and/or enhances and/or complements the effect of the active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition, present in the barrier layer and/or in the auxiliary layer and/or in the cover layer is preferably an active substance selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, coenzymes, amino acids, peptides and their hydrolysates, synthetic polymers, salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, azelaic acid, ellagic acid, plant extracts, zeolites, kaolin, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, natural oils, natural essential oils.
- the barrier layer and/or the auxiliary layer is moistened before the application, whereby during subsequent drying shrinkage occurs, causing contraction of the skin, which may contribute to the penetration of the active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition into the skin.
- the aim of the invention is achieved by a means for the application of the cosmetic composition containing at least one active substance, in which the cosmetic composition is arranged on a barrier layer which contains polymeric nanofibers made of or containing as one of its components at least one biocompatible polymer and/or its copolymer and/or its derivative and/or at least one biopolymer and/or copolymer and/or its derivative.
- an auxiliary layer made of or containing as one of its components at least one biocompatible polymer and/or its copolymer and/or its derivative and/or at least one biopolymer and/or its copolymer and/or its derivative, or the cover layer.
- the barrier layer and/or the auxiliary layer and/or the cover layer preferably contains at least one active substance which is identical with the active substance of the cosmetic composition and/or at least one active substance which strengthens and/or enhances and/or complements the effect of active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition, and/or at least one antimicrobial substance.
- this means is at least from one side overlaid by a protective layer based on a polymer in the form of a foam, a film, a foil, a woven and non-woven fabric or their combinations.
- the aim of the invention is further achieved by a method for the application of a cosmetic composition containing hyaluronic acid on the skin with a wrinkle/wrinkles, whose principle consists in that after this cosmetic composition is applied on the skin, it is at least partially overlaid by a barrier layer which contains polymeric nanofibers made of or containing as one of its components at least one biocompatible polymer and/or its copolymer and/or at least one biopolymer and/or its derivative and/or at least one synthetic polymer and/or its derivate and/or its copolymer, and which is pressed to the skin, following the shape of its surface, and/or before being applied to the skin, the cosmetic composition is applied on the surface of the barrier layer, which is afterwards pressed to the skin with its surface covered with the applied cosmetic composition, following the shape of its surface.
- the cosmetic composition and the site of desired action of its active substance/substances are closed against external influences, but remain accessible to atmospheric oxygen, whereby the barrier layer subsequently shrinks due to the contact with hyaluronic acid contained in the cosmetic composition, which pulls out the skin in the wrinkle area to the level of the surrounding skin.
- the barrier layer subsequently shrinks due to the contact with hyaluronic acid contained in the cosmetic composition, which pulls out the skin in the wrinkle area to the level of the surrounding skin.
- small and medium wrinkles are mechanically smoothed out and the depth and size of the larger ones is reduced, whereby this effect of the barrier layer is complemented and fixed by the penetration of hyaluronic acid and, simultaneously, by adding moisture from the cosmetic composition into the skin and the hypodermis.
- a suitable barrier layer for this application is a layer of nanofibers having a basis weight in the range from 3 to 15 g/m 2 , preferably from 6 to 13 g/m 2 .
- the shrinkage of the barrier layer can be increased by addition of a suitable salt in an amount from 0.05 to 5 % (w/w) of dry weight of polymeric nanofibres.
- suitable salts include, for example, monovalent salts of Li + (e.g. LiCI), Na + , K + , divalent salts of Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , ammonium salts (NH4) + of organic and inorganic acids, etc., or a mixture of at least two of them.
- the visual characteristics of the barrier layer of nanofibers e.g. by addition of any tenside, or a mixture of at least two tensides, the tenside/tensides enhancing the transparency as well as wettability of the barrier layer.
- the amount of the tenside, or a mixture of tensides is by one or two orders lower than the amount of the salt, i.e. it is in an interval of 0.0005 to 0.5 % of dry weight of the polymeric nanofibers.

- an active substance selected from the group of substances with hydratation effects e.g. polysaccharides, such as hyaluronic acid, salts of hyaluronic acid, chitosan and its derivatives, derivatives of glucuronic acid (e.g.
- argan oil, almond oil, macadamia oil, tea tree oil, etc.), and other known active substances, including substances exhibiting antimicrobial properties or other known active substances stimulating skin regeneration, etc., or another known cosmetically active substance, or a mixture of at least two of them, on the skin according to the invention consists in that to the skin 1 at the site 2 of desired action of the active substance/substances (e.g.
- any known cosmetic composition 3 is applied in a usual manner in the form of a (hydro)gel or a cream (ointment) containing this/these active substance/substances, which is after that at least partially overlaid by a barrier layer 4.
- the barrier layer 4 is then in case of need at least partially overlaid by the cover layer 5 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
- the cosmetic composition 3 is applied in the form of a continuous or discontinuous layer (e.g. pointwise).
- the barrier layer 4 contains polymeric nanofibers, or it is formed by at least one layer of polymeric nanofibers. Due to the small interfibrous spaces (having a size in the order of tens to hundreds of nanometers) it prevents penetration of undesired biological impurities (e.g. microorganisms) and mechanical impurities (e.g. dust particles, etc.) from the external environment to the site 2 of desired action or to the cosmetic composition 3, by which means this site 2 with the applied cosmetic composition 3, including, as the case may be, also its surroundings, closes against external influences.
- undesired biological impurities e.g. microorganisms
- mechanical impurities e.g. dust particles, etc.
- the site 2 of desired action helps to create a suitable microclimate for the action of the active substance/substances of the cosmetic composition 3, and promotes the healing process (if the site 2 of desired action is, e.g., a cut or a wound, a scar or acne, etc.), and, optionally, it also keeps the skin 1 pores open.
- Suitable materials of the nanofibers of the barrier layer 4 include especially biocompatible polymers, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid (PLGA), polygfutamic acid (PGA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO) etc., their copolymers, derivatives or mixtures (whereby these at least two biocompatible polymers, or at least one biocompatible polymer and at least one copolymer/derivative, or two copoiymers/derivatives simultaneously included in the individual nanofibers, or constitute at least two types of nanofibers, each type being made of a different biocompatible (co)polymer), and particularly biopolymers, such as polysaccharides (e.g.
- hyaluronic acid chitosan, pectin, copolymers of glucuronic acid and their derivatives, alginates, etc.
- polypeptides and their hydrolysates collagen, elastin, silk fibroin
- zein zein
- cellulose and other known biopolymers including their derivatives or mixtures containing at least one biopolymer and/or at least one derivative (provided that these at least two biopolymers, or at least one biopolymer and at least one derivative, or two derivatives are simultaneously included in the individual nanofibers, or constitute at least two types of nanofibers, each type being made of a different biopolymer and/or derivative or mixture), at least one of which is biocompatible.
- nanofibers or parts of the nanofibers made of the synthetic polymer/polymers provide the required mechanical properties to the resulting barrier layer 4, and the nanofibers or parts of the nanofibers from the biocompatible polymer/polymers reduce the danger of allergic reaction or other unwanted effects caused by the presence of a synthetic material.
- Examples of synthetic polymer which can be used include polyamide (PA), polyvinylidene (di)fluoride (PVDF) and polyurethanes (PUR), their copolymers and mixtures (containing at least two synthetic polymers or at least one synthetic polymer and at least one copolymer, or at least two copolymers).
- PA polyamide
- PVDF polyvinylidene
- PUR polyurethanes
- the barrier layer 4 is at least partially composed of a hydrophobic polymer (containing nanofibers made of a hydrophobic polymer or from mixtures of at least one hydrophobic polymer with at least one non-hydrophobic polymer), which prevents water from penetrating from the external environment to the site of 2 of desired action with the applied cosmetic composition 3, due to which this site 2 is closed against the external influences even more thoroughly, but it remains accessible to atmospheric oxygen from the external environment.

- the basis weight of the barrier layer 4 is 1 to 30 g/m 2 , preferably 10 to 30 g/m 2 , although, if necessary, or, e.g., in the case of the presence of at least one active substance, may be even higher.
- the barrier layer 4 may be prepared by any of the known methods for producing a layer of polymeric nanofibers based on any chemical and/or physical principle, the most suitable of them being electrostatic spinning using a spinning electrode of an elongated shape - for example in the shape of a cylinder (see, e.g., EP 1673493) or a string (see, e.g., EP 2059630 or EP 2173930), or any method thereof modified according to WO 2014079400, since these methods currently ensure achieving the highest homogeneity of the layer of polymeric nanofibers being formed in all directions, and, moreover, these methods are the only ones that enable industrial-scale preparation of this layer.
- the barrier layer 4 may contain at least one active substance, which may be incorporated in the material of its nanofibers in the form of (nano)particles and/or may be arranged on the surface of the nanofibers and/or on the surface of the barrier layer 4 in the form of (nano)particles and/or impregnation and/or a film and/or it may be chemically covalently and/or non- covalently bound directly to the polymer of the nanofibers and/or in the case of polymeric active substances, at least some nanofibers of the barrier layer 4 may be made at least partially directly from it.

- a cover layer 5 in the form of a (hydro)gel or a cream is applied on the external surface of the barrier layer 4, or the auxiliary layer 41, whereby the composition of the (hydro)gel or cream makes the barrier layer 4 and, possibly, also the auxiliary layer 41 transparent or more transparent, which is either based on the principle of filling the interfibrous spaces and a corresponding change in the index of light refraction on the surface of the layer/layers 4, 41 ⁇ and/or its/their material, or one of the components penetrates directly into the structure of the nanofibers of the barrier layer 4 and/or the auxiliary layer 41, changing their colour into transparent or more transparent - either temporarily or permanently.
- the cover layer 5 In the case of temporary transparency the cover layer 5 must be applied repeatedly depending on the requirements of transparency duration. As a signal for its repeated application it is possible to use lightening (or whitening) of the barrier layer 4 or the auxiliary layer 41, which occurs as a result of reduced content of water in it.
- the cover layer 5 contains a proportion of a lipid (oil) component and water, which is determined by the material and/or parameters of the barrier layer 4 and/or the auxiliary layer 41 , whereby its lipid (oil) component penetrates into the interfibrous spaces of the barrier layer 4_and/or the auxiliary layer 4J. and/or into their nanofibers.
