Cosmetic Composition for Stimulating the Synthesis of Proteins of the Basement Membrane

Abstract

Cosmetic composition which can be applied topically, comprising at least one compound of the general formula (I) in which R1 is H, C1-C20-alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl-C1-C4-alkyl, n is 1-4, X is —O—, —NH— or —NR2— and R2H or C1-C20-alkyl; and at least one compound corresponding to the above formula (I) but in which XR1 with X having the possible meaning of —NH— is the residue of an alpha-amino acid; use of these compounds and of the composition for stimulating the synthesis of the proteins of the basement membrane; and also both those compounds of the formula (I) in which X is —NR2— and both R1 and R2 are different from H, and the compounds corresponding to formula (I) but in which XR1 with X having the possible meaning of —NH— is the residue of an alpha-amino acid, as such.
