• the present invention relates to the cosmetic use of oligopeptides, cosmetic preparations which comprise such oligopeptides as well as certain oligopeptide derivatives themselves.
• Cosmetic preparations are available nowadays to the consumer in a large number of combinations. In this regard, it is not only expected that these cosmetics exhibit a particular care effect or overcome a certain deficiency, but there is an evermore frequent requirement for products which have several properties at the same time and thus exhibit an improved performance spectrum.
• substances which both favourably influence the technical properties of the cosmetic product such as storage stability, photostability and ability to be formulated, and also at the same time constitute active ingredients which confer care, irritation-suppressing and/or photoprotective properties for skin and/or hair for example. Additionally, good skin compatibility and particularly the use of natural products are requested by the customer. There is a further need for effective protection of the skin against environmental ageing effects.
• the human skin expresses a number of antimicrobially effective peptides, such as, for example, cathelicidin and ⁇ -defensin, during inflammation processes of the skin such as wound healing, contact dermatitis and psoriasis. It is known that these peptides in the skin construct a barrier for protecting the endogenous skin cells against microbial pathogenesis (GaIIo RL & Huttner KM. J Invest.
