Claim:
A cosmetic agent comprising a 2-furanone derivative of the formula (I) and/or of the formula (II): wherein the radicals R 1 to R 10 , independently of one another, are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, —OH, a methyl, methoxy, an aminomethyl or hydroxymethyl radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or trihydroxy hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or triamino hydrocarbon radical, a group —OR 11 , where R 11 is selected from a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or a linear mono-, di- or trihydroxy hydrocarbon radical, a group —NR 12 R 13 , where R 12 and R 13 independently of one another, are selected from hydrogen, methyl, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical or a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or trihydroxy hydrocarbon radical, a group —COOR 14 , where R 14 is selected from hydrogen, methyl, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or trihydroxy hydrocarbon radical or a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or triamino hydrocarbon radical, a group —CONR 15 R 16 , where R 15 and R 16 are independently selected from hydrogen, methyl, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or trihydroxy hydrocarbon radical or a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or triamino hydrocarbon radical, a group —COR 16 , where R 16 is selected from methyl, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or trihydroxy hydrocarbon radical or a —C 2 -C 4 -saturated or mono- or diunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di- or triamino hydrocarbon radical, and a group —OCOR 17 , where R 17 is methyl, a —C 2 -C 30 -saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon radical, a —C 2 -C 30 -saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di-, tri- or polyhydroxy hydrocarbon radical or a —C 2 -C 30 -saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated, branched or linear mono-, di-, tri- or polyamino hydrocarbon radical, with the proviso that when R 7 and R 8 are —OH and R 9 or R 10 are hydrogen, the remaining groups R 9 and R 10 are not a dihydroxyethyl radical.
