Abstract

The subject of the invention is a cosmetic preparation containing Ilex resin which is isolated from leaves of Ilex aquifolium or Ilex paraguariensis, a method for isolating Ilex resin, and the Ilex resin obtained by this method. Skin treatment preparations containing Ilex resin produce a stable protective film on the skin. Hair treatment preparations containing Ilex resin intensify the color, increase luster, contribute to good wet combability, and improve the elasticity of the hair treated with the preparation.
