SHAPED CELLULOSE BODIES WITH PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE MINERAL SUBSTANCES DISTRIBUTED THEREIN

摘要

What is described is a shaped cellulose body having physiologically active mineral substance compounds distributed therein, which are bound within the cellulose matrix of the shaped body and are distributed homogeneously over the cross section thereof. The mineral substance compound is soluble in water, and contains at least one element selected from the group comprising sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, manganese and zinc. Even after repeated washing, the shaped cellulose body still contains a high proportion of the mineral substance. It preferably takes the form of fibers, filaments, films or spunbonded webs formed from these fibers. It is especially intended for topical purposes on the human skin, specifically for cosmetic or dermatological purposes. These shaped bodies can be processed to give sheetlike structures, laminates, composite materials and webs, alone or in a mixture with other shaped bodies and fibers.
