Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to cosmetics which increase the elasticity and tightness of the skin. The cosmetics of the invention contain as active agent an extract of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) stalks or stalk portions, together with conventional carriers, diluents and/or additives. These cosmetics are prepared according to the invention so that stalks of sunflower or portions of the stalk are extracted with a 1 to 20-fold amount of water or another solvent suitable for cosmetic purposes, the extract is separated from the solids, and the resulting solution is optionally homogenized with carriers, diluents and/or additives usable in the preparation of cosmetics.
