Compositions comprising (bio)-alkanediols Technical field The present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of specific combinations of a linear 1,2-alkanediol having a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms and at least one linear 2,3-alkanediol having a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a composition comprising or consisting of such specific mixtures of linear 1,2-alkanediols and linear 2,3-alkanediols.Additionally, the present invention relates to the use of the compositions of the present invention for improving the organoleptic properties, i.e., the feel on the skin, of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component, for sebum control, odor control, modulation of fragrance notes, modification of fragrance notes, suppression of fragrance notes, topical applications, masking the odor of 1-octen-3-ol, or masking insect-attracting odors. Finally, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a composition according to the present invention. Background Art. In recent years, the cosmetics industry has been searching for a natural and biodegradable ingredient that combines multiple benefits in a single molecule, offers good profitability, and shows important properties at low concentrations. Therefore, there is a constant demand for multifunctional ingredients, whose multiple key advantages, such as their ability to enhance the antioxidant effect, solubilize lipophilic cosmetic ingredients and improve product protection in synergy with numerous preservatives, reduce the complexity of formulations while improving the properties of the final product. The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is colonized by a variety of microorganisms, most of which are harmless or even beneficial to their host. Colonization depends on the ecology of the skin's surface, which is highly variable depending on topographic location, endogenous host factors, and exogenous environmental factors. For example, the armpits present a fairly moist and nutrient-rich habitat that provides favorable conditions for the proliferation of many microorganisms. Other habitats include those rich in sebum, such as the face, and those that are rather dry and nutrient-poor, such as most other areas of the body. Many common skin pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, are inhibited at an acidic pH, thus favoring the proliferation of coagulase-negative staphylococci and corynebacteria. However, skin occlusion leads to an elevated pH, which favors the proliferation of S. aureus and S. pyogenes. Areas with a high density of sebaceous glands, such as the face, chest, and back, promote the proliferation of lipophilic microorganisms, such as Corynebacterium spp., Propionibacterium spp., and Malassezia spp. The overproduction of sebum causes the sebaceous gland follicles to become partially or completely filled with sebum. This sebum typically has a very dense consistency and, therefore, a low capacity for spreading, meaning it can only exit the sebaceous gland follicles and spread across the skin with great difficulty. Consequently, sebum accumulates to an undesirably high degree in the sebaceous glands and creates an ideal nutrient environment for microorganisms, particularly Propionibacterium acnes, a microorganism crucially involved in the development of acne. In oily skin, the overproduction of sebum leads to an undesirable oily shine.In oily scalps, overproduction of sebum causes an undesirable greasy shine at the hair roots. In blemished skin, excessive sebum production leads to skin irregularities such as pimples and pustules. Acne is a pathologically altered skin condition resulting from blemishes. In cases of acne, which typically appears during puberty, the anaerobic microorganism Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes, recently reclassified / renamed Cutibacerium acnes) plays a crucial role in the development of the condition. It breaks down sebum into glycerin and fatty acids, which in turn stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce even more sebum. These breakdown products then attack or destroy the follicle walls, often leading to skin inflammation (pimples, pustules, nodules, cysts). These blemishes frequently heal only after leaving scars, permanently damaging the appearance of those with acne. Fungi and bacteria can cause many skin disorders and infections. Chronic wounds, which affect people with diabetes, the elderly, and those with reduced mobility, are an example where commensal skin organisms invade and become pathogenic when the skin barrier is breached. Although bacteria do not cause the initial wound, they are believed to contribute to the lack of healing and persistent inflammation associated with chronic wounds. Burn wounds are commonly infected with Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus spp., or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Another common skin commensal is Staphylococcus epidermidis. It is also the most frequent cause of nosocomial infections in internal medical devices, such as catheters or heart valves. Therefore, there is a need for products capable of controlling the skin microbiota, and in particular inhibiting the proliferation of skin pathogens. At the same time, there is a need for products capable of balancing, reducing, or inhibiting the overproduction of sebum and / or reducing dandruff, thereby controlling the colonization of the skin by specific microbial species that are lipid-dependent and feed on human sebum. WO 2008 / 046791 discloses the use of 1,2-decanediol for reducing skin sebum and a topical cosmetic or dermatological formulation comprising 1,2-decanediol. In addition to 1,2-decanediol, the formulations optionally include cleansing and antimicrobial substances. WO 2006 / 057616 A1 discloses compositions comprising at least three different diols, wherein said diols have the general structure (CH2) nH2O2, where n is the number of CH2 groups and is between 3 and 10. The composition may be a pharmaceutical, cosmetic, antimicrobial, or preservative composition. The composition is useful for inactivating microorganisms or preventing their proliferation. On the other hand, 1,2-decanediol is an established antimicrobial that is used in deodorants, antiperspirants, anti-dandruff, anti-acne, and other hygienic applications for oral or personal care. However, the formulation, and in particular 1,2-decanediol, has the drawback of an inherently unpleasant odor. Furthermore, microbes living on human skin are known to produce a variety of different compounds, such as formic acid, butyric acid, 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid, and 3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, from sweat produced by apocrine sweat glands. Several compounds produced by these microbes are responsible for an unpleasant odor; for example, butyric acid has a very strong and unpleasant smell. In this context, the important microorganisms that live on the skin or scalp of humans are microorganisms of the genera Staphylococcus, Cor and nebacterium, Anaerococcus, Finegoldia, Moraxella, Porphyromonas, Fusobacterium, Aspergillus, Candida, Malassezia, Escherichia, Peptoniphilus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Gardnerella, Fannyhessea, Epidermophyton, Trichophyton, Fusobacterium, Cutibacterium, in particular, the microorganisms Staphylococcus epidermidis; Staphylococcus hominis; Cor and nebacterium xerosis; Cor and nebacterium jeikeium; Anaerococcus octavius; Finegoldia magna; Moraxella osloensis; Moraxella atlantae; Porphyromonas gingivalis; Aspergillus brasiliensis; Candida albicans; Escherichia coli; Staphylococcus aureus; Peptoniphilus lacrimalis; Streptococcus agalactiae; Lactobacillus acidophilus; Gardnerella vaginalis; Fannyhessea vaginae (Atopobium vaginae) ; Epidermophyton floccosum; Trichophyton rubrum; Streptococcus mutans; Fusobacterium nucleatum.Recently, it has been discovered that the microorganisms Anaerococcus octavius ​​and Cor and nebacterium jeikeium are responsible for the production of compounds that have an unpleasant odor from human sweat. In addition, pheromone-like compounds, such as the steroids androstenone and androsterone sulfate, which are produced directly by the apocrine sweat glands, are also responsible for unpleasant body odor or smell. For effective odor management, the formula must reduce microbial activity on the skin. Additionally, the compound or formula must mask the unpleasant odors produced by various microbes or directly by sweat glands. Furthermore, various cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations must use compounds with an inherently unpleasant odor as active ingredients or additives. Therefore, new substances are needed that can modulate, modify, or suppress different fragrance notes. In the context of modulating, modifying, or suppressing fragrance notes, there is also an ongoing search for new compounds or compositions that can be used in insect repellent products or to mask insect-attracting odors. 1-Octen-3-ol is known to attract biting insects, such as mosquitoes, and to have an unpleasant odor. To provide an effective insect repellent, a compound or composition is needed to counteract the unpleasant smell of 1-octen-3-ol. Many insect repellent products use active agents that emit a strong insect-repellent odor. In this case, the compound or composition must not mask the insect-repellent odor. It is important to note that substances used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals must meet certain requirements. Compounds must be toxicologically acceptable, easily tolerated by the skin, stable in conventional cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical formulations, inexpensive to prepare, easy to formulate, and active at various pH levels. Furthermore, the substance must not have an unpleasant odor. In addition, substances or compositions used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical products must be compatible with different media, such as water or ethanol.In the search for new useful substances in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, there is no predictable connection between the chemical structure and other relevant physicochemical parameters in the field of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, i.e., toxicological acceptability, skin tolerability, stability, solubility and formulation properties, and the odor of a substance. In summary, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries are constantly searching for new ingredients and compositions that can further enhance the usefulness of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions or household care products, such as boosting the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition or in a household care product, improving the organoleptic properties, i.e., the feel on the skin, of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component, in sebum control, in odor control, in modulating fragrance notes, in modifying fragrance notes, in suppressing fragrance notes, in topical applications, in covering the bad odor of 1-octen-3-ol, to mask insect-attracting odors and to repel them. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide multifunctional compositions and multifunctional cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions that can be effectively used to enhance the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, improve the organoleptic properties, i.e., the feel on the skin, of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component, in sebum control, or in odor control, or in modulating fragrance notes, or in modifying fragrance notes, or in suppressing fragrance notes, or in topical applications, or in covering the odor of 1-octen-3-ol, or in masking insect-attracting odors, or in insect repelling.

Furthermore, in another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of compositions according to the present invention for improving the organoleptic properties, i.e., the feel on the skin, of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component, for sebum control, or for odor control, or for modulating fragrance notes, or for modifying fragrance notes, or for suppressing fragrance notes, or for topical applications, or for covering the odor of 1-octen-3-ol, or for masking insect-attracting odors. Finally, in an additional aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a composition according to the present invention, wherein the product is a deodorant and / or antiperspirant, aerosol deodorant, atomizer deodorant, stick deodorant, roll-on deodorant, deodorant cream, deodorant wipes, deodorant crystals, Pickering emulsions, hydrodispersion gels, skin balms, shampoo, shower gel, bath foam, micellar water, facial cleansing solutions, cleansing wipes, intimate spray, intimate cream, intimate wash lotion, intimate wipes, foot spray, foot spray, foot bath, foot balm, soap, liquid wash product, shower and bath preparation, bath product, bath capsule, bath oil, bath bar, bath salt, bath soap, effervescent preparation, concentrated mouthwash,Ready-to-use mouthwash, repellent, insect repellent applications, in particular insect repellent lotion, spray, solution or cream, mosquito repellents, human odor masking applications, perfume compositions and toothpaste. The present invention is based on the recognition that compositions according to the present invention comprising a linear 1,2-alkanediol with a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms and at least a linear 2,3-alkanediol with a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms are multifunctional compositions that provide an excellent antioxidant-enhancing effect in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition or in a household care product, an excellent organoleptic-improving effect in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component, an excellent antimicrobial effect, an excellent odor-covering effect, and excellent effects in modulating, modifying, or suppressing fragrance notes.and an excellent sebum-reducing effect that leads to a reduction or minimization of the overproduction of sebum of the skin or scalp and / or reduces dandruff of the skin or scalp after application of the composition of the present invention. Therefore, the use of compositions according to the present invention leads to an improvement in the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant, especially in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition or a household care product. Additionally, the use of the compositions according to the present invention results in an improvement of the organoleptic properties in terms of spreadability, greasy / oily feel on the skin and absorption (residue left on the skin after application) of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component. Furthermore, the use of the compositions according to the present invention leads to a reduced production of unpleasant odor compounds from sweat by microbes on the skin or scalp, which is inhibited due to the excellent antimicrobial effect. Additionally, the unpleasant odor of the compounds contained in sweat is effectively reduced due to the odor masking provided by the composition according to the present invention (odor masking). The compositions according to the present invention provide excellent effects for modulating, modifying, or suppressing undesirable fragrance notes. In particular, the odor of 1-octen-3-ol can be effectively masked, while at the same time, the odor of insect repellents is not significantly affected.Therefore, the compositions of the present invention can be used to provide effective insect repellents and to mask insect-attracting odors. Furthermore, the compositions according to the present invention are compatible with various media, such as water, ethanol, or glycols. Therefore, the compositions according to the present invention are highly effective in enhancing the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant, improving spreadability, reducing the oily skin feel, and enhancing the absorption of a liquid lipophilic component, controlling sebum, controlling odors, modulating fragrance notes, modifying fragrance notes, suppressing fragrance notes, in topical applications, covering the odor of 1-octen-3-ol, masking insect-attracting odors, and repelling insects.

Of the liquid alkanediols mentioned above, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, or certain mixtures of these liquid alkanediols are particularly preferred. These 2,3-alkanediols can be more easily incorporated into semi-finished or finished products. Due to their sebum-reducing effect, 2,3-alkanediols are particularly preferred in compositions according to the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention. Preferably, the composition of the present invention comprises component (b) in an amount of 0.001 to 15.0% by weight, in particular in an amount of 0.01 to 10.0% by weight, more preferably in an amount of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight, even more preferably in an amount of 0.3 to 3.0% by weight, most preferably in an amount of 0.5 to 1.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the composition comprises a mixture comprising at least one linear 1,2-alkanediol having a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms and at least one linear 2,3-alkanediol having a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms, wherein the number of carbon atoms of the 1,2-alkanediol and the 2,3-alkanediol is the same or different. If both the 1,2-alkanediol and the 2,3-alkanediol have the same number of carbon atoms, such an alkanediol combination is also referred to herein as an "alkanediol homomixture" or "homocombination." For example, linear 1,2-alkanediol and linear 2,3-alkanediol have a carbon chain of 7 carbon atoms. If the 1,2-alkanediol and 2,3-alkanediol have a different number of carbon atoms, such an alkanediol combination is also referred to herein as an "alkanediol heteromixture" or "heterocombination." For example, linear 1,2-alkanediol has a carbon chain of 7 carbon atoms, and linear 2,3-alkanediol has a carbon chain of 8 carbon atoms. Therefore, compositions according to the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention may include one of the following combinations of component (a) and component (b): 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol; or 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol; or 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-nonanediol; either 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-heptanediol; or 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol; or 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-nonanediol; either 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-heptanediol; either 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-octanediol; either 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol. More preferably, the composition according to the first or second aspect of the present invention preferably comprises one of the following alkanediol heteromixtures: a mixture comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol; or a mixture comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-nonanediol. In these preferred alkanediol heteromixtures, the 1,2-alkanediol and the 2,3-alkanediol have a different number of carbon atoms. In a further preferred embodiment, the compositions according to the first or second aspect of the present invention include an alkanediol mixture or combination wherein component (a) is 1,2-heptanediol and component (b) is 2,3-heptanediol. In a further preferred embodiment, the compositions according to the first or second aspect of the present invention include an alkanediol mixture or combination wherein component (a) is 1,2-octanediol and component (b) is 2,3-octanediol. In a further preferred embodiment, the compositions according to the first or second aspect of the present invention include an alkandiol mixture or combination wherein component (a) is 1,2-nonanediol and component (b) is 2,3-nonanediol. A combination is particularly favorable that includes an alkanediol combination in which component (a) is 1,2-heptanediol and component (b) is 2,3-heptanediol, or an alkanediol combination in which component (a) is 1,2-octanediol and component (b) is 2,3-octanediol, or an alkanediol combination in which component (a) is 1,2-nonanediol and component (b) is 2,3-nonanediol. In these preferred alkanediol homomixtures, the 1,2-alkanediol and the 2,3-alkanediol have the same number of carbon atoms. The alkanediol compositions specified above, according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, significantly enhance, even synergistically enhance, the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant, as demonstrated by the following examples. Therefore, the compositions according to the present invention are highly suitable as ingredients in compositions for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions susceptible to oxidation and comprising an antioxidant, since they prevent oxidative degradation in the formulation and thus extend shelf life. Additionally, these specified alkanediol compositions are capable of improving the skin feel of liquid lipophilic components in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, as demonstrated by the following examples. Therefore, the compounds are well-suited as ingredients for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions comprising a liquid lipophilic component that has poor inherent spreadability, causes a greasy / oily feel on the skin, or simply has poor absorption and leaves residue on the skin or scalp after application. Furthermore, the alkanediol compositions specified according to the present invention exhibit an excellent sebum-reducing effect, leading to a reduction or minimization of sebum overproduction on the skin or scalp and / or reducing dandruff on the skin or scalp after application, as demonstrated by the following examples. Therefore, the compositions of the present invention can be used as ingredients in sebum-control compositions. The alkanediol compositions specified above, according to either aspect 1 or aspect 2 of the present invention, surprisingly possess a synergistic antimicrobial effect. Furthermore, these compositions also surprisingly exhibit a synergistic odor-covering effect and an excellent effect in masking insect-attracting odors. In particular, the unpleasant odor of 1-octen-3-ol can be effectively masked by these compositions. Therefore, these compositions can be used in odor control applications, for topical applications, to mask the unpleasant odor of 1-octen-3-ol, and to mask insect-attracting odors. Moreover, the strong initial odor of insect repellents, such as citriodiol, can be reduced without significantly hindering the long-term efficacy of the insect repellent.Therefore, these compositions can be used in more effective and pleasant insect repellent products. The individual components (a) provide an excellent sebum-reducing effect, and it is believed that the combination of components (a) and (b) leads to an enhanced sebum-reducing effect, perhaps even a synergistic one. Finally, these compositions can be used to modulate, modify, or suppress fragrance notes in various compositions. In the context of the present invention, the term "odor covering" means that the unpleasant odor of one or more media or a composition is completely eliminated or reduced, but the covering is not achieved through an advantageous intrinsic odor of an added compound. Generally, the unpleasant odor of a substance or composition is improved by adding a compound that exhibits an odor-covering effect; however, the added compound does not improve the unpleasant odor of the substance or composition due to a beneficial intrinsic odor of the added compound. The added compound is a neutral-odor molecule without a beneficial intrinsic odor. Therefore, in the context of the present invention, the term "odor covering" does not refer to fragrance compounds that only cover an unpleasant odor due to a strong beneficial intrinsic odor.In the context of the present invention, the term "odor control" means the complete suppression or inhibition of the formation of an unpleasant odor and / or the complete suppression or reduction of an existing unpleasant odor. For example, the suppression or inhibition of the formation of an unpleasant odor can be achieved by suppressing or inhibiting the production of sweat and / or by suppressing or inhibiting microbial activity. The suppression or reduction of an existing unpleasant odor is achieved by masking the odor. Therefore, "odor control" can be achieved by inhibiting the development of unpleasant odors and / or by masking the odor. In the context of the present invention, the expression "topical application" means that the application takes place on a surface, or on the skin or scalp of a human or mammal. In a further preferred embodiment, the composition of the present invention is a composition, wherein component (a) is 1,2-heptanediol and component (b) is selected from the group consisting of 2,3-octanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, or wherein component (a) is 1,2-octanediol and component (b) is selected from the group consisting of 2,3-heptanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, or wherein component (a) is 1,2-nonanediol and component (b) is selected from the group consisting of 2,3-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol. Compositions according to this preferred embodiment enhance the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, improve the organoleptic properties (i.e., the feel on the skin) of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component, or possess a synergistic antimicrobial effect. Furthermore, these compositions exhibit an excellent odor-masking effect, perhaps even a synergistic odor-masking effect, and an excellent effect in masking insect-attracting odors. The individual components (a) provide an excellent sebum-reducing effect, and the combination of components (a) and (b) is believed to lead to an enhanced sebum-reducing effect, perhaps even a synergistic sebum-reducing effect.Therefore, these compositions can be used for sebum control, odor management, topical applications, and to mask insect-attracting odors. Finally, these compositions can be used to modulate, modify, or suppress fragrance notes in different compositions.

Even more preferably, the composition according to the first aspect of the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention comprises 1,2-alkanediol (component (a)) and 2,3-alkanediol (component (b)) in a ratio in the range of 98:2, including the ratios of 98,1:1.9; 98,2:1.8; 98,3:1.7; 98,4:1.6; 98,5:1.5; 98,6:1.4; 98,7:1.3; 98,8:1.2; 98,9:1.1; 99:1.0; 99,1:0.9; 99,2:0.8; 99, 3: 0, 7; 99, 4: 0, 6; 99, 5: 0, 5; 99, 6: 0, 4; 99, 7: 0, 3; 99, 8: 0, 2 and 99, 9: 0, 1. By using the compositions, where the ratio between component (a) and component (b) is as defined above, beneficial and even synergistic effects can be achieved, such as antioxidant enhancement, improved skin feel of liquid lipophilic components, sebum reduction, odor masking, and antimicrobial effects. Furthermore, the fragrance notes can be modulated, modified, and / or omitted.

Using compositions in which the ratio of compounds (a) and (b) is as defined above, synergistic effects such as sebum reduction, odor masking, and antimicrobial effects can be achieved. In addition, the fragrance notes can be modulated, modified, and / or suppressed. Therefore, the compositions are well-suited for sebum control, odor control, topical applications, and modulating, modifying, and suppressing fragrance notes. Furthermore, these compositions can effectively mask the bad odor of 1-octen-3-ol.Therefore, these compositions are useful for masking the unpleasant odor of 1-octen-3-ol and for disguising insect-attracting scents. Furthermore, these compositions can reduce the strong initial odor of insect repellents, such as citriodiol, without significantly compromising the long-term effectiveness of the repellent. Consequently, these compositions can be used in effective and more palatable insect repellent products. Preferably, the composition of the present invention is a composition in which the ratio between component (a) and component (b) is 99.5:0.5 to 50:50, or 99:1 to 50:50, or 98:2 to 50:50, or 95:5 to 50:50, or 90:10 to 50:50, or 80:20 to 50:50, or 70:30 to 50:50, or 60:40 to 50:50, most preferably the ratio between compounds (a) and (b) is 95:5 to 50:50. Preferably, the composition of the present invention is a composition wherein the ratio between component (a) and component (b) is 99.5:0.5, or 99:1, or 98:2, or 95:5, or 90:10, or 80:20, or 70:30, or 60:40, or 50:50, or 40:60, or 30:70, or 20:80, or 10:90, or 5:95, or 2:98, or 1:99, or 0.5:99.5, more preferably, the ratio of compounds (a) and (b) is 99:1, or 98:2, or 95:5, or 90:10, or 80:20, or 70:30, or 60:40, or 50:50. and even more preferably the ratio of compounds (a) and (b) is 95:5, or 90:10, or 80:20, or 50:50. In a more advantageous embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, in compositions comprising a combination of a 1,2-alkanediol as component (a) and the corresponding 2,3-alkanediol as component (b), such as 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, or 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol, or 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, the 1,2-alkanediol (component (a)) and the 2,3-alkanediol (component (b)) are present in a ratio in the range of 50:50 to 99:0.1, preferably in a ratio in the range of 75:25 to 99:1, more preferably in a ratio in the range of 80:20 to 98:2, even more preferable in a ratio within a range of 90:10 to 95:5. Similarly, for such mixtures, the ratios of 1,2-alkanediol as component (a) : 2,3-alkanediol as component (b) or ratio ranges as described above are also applicable. Through these mixing ratios, the aforementioned mixtures show enhanced or even synergistic effects, as described above, in direct comparison with the corresponding individual substances, 1, 2-alkanediols or 2, 3-alkanediols. The component (a) (1,2-alkanediol) and the component (b) (2,3-alkanediol) according to the first or second aspect of the present invention may be present in the composition in an amount of 0.001 to 15.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In a preferred embodiment, the composition comprises the component (a) (1,2-alkanediol) and the component (b) (2,3-alkanediol) in an amount of 0.01 to 10.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In a more preferred embodiment, the component (a) (1,2-alkanediol) and the component (b) are advantageously used in the composition in an amount of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In an even more preferred variant, component (a) (1, 2-alkanediol) and component (b) (2, 3-alkanediol) are present in the composition in an amount of 0.3 to 3.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.Most preferably, component (a) (1, 2-alkanediol) and component (b) (2, 3-alkanediol) are advantageously used in the composition in an amount of 0.5 to 1.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composition according to the first or second aspect comprises the 2,3-alkanediol in an amount of 0.001 to 15.0% by weight, preferably in an amount of 0.01 to 10.0% by weight, more preferably in an amount of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight, even more preferably in an amount of 0.3 to 3.0% by weight, and most preferably in an amount of 0.5 to 1.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Even more preferably, the composition according to the first or second aspect comprises the 2,3-alkanediol in an amount of 0.001 to 0.5% by weight, preferably in an amount of 0.005 to 0.1% by weight, and most preferably in an amount of 0.01 to 0.075% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. The compositions according to the present comprise one or two different 2,3-alkanediols. The at least one linear 2,3-alkanediol having a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms in the compositions according to the first and second aspects of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, and certain mixtures thereof. These specified 2,3-alkanediols enhance the antioxidant effect of an antioxidant, as demonstrated by the following examples. Therefore, these compounds are highly suitable as ingredients in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, or in household care products susceptible to oxidation and containing an antioxidant, as they prevent oxidative degradation within the formulation and thus extend shelf life. Additionally, these specified 2,3-alkanediols are capable of improving the skin feel of liquid lipophilic components in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, as demonstrated by the following examples. Therefore, these compounds are well-suited as ingredients for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions comprising a liquid lipophilic component that has poor inherent spreadability, causes a greasy / oily feel on the skin, or simply has poor absorption and leaves residues on the skin or scalp after application. Furthermore, 2,3-alkanediols exhibit an excellent sebum-reducing effect, leading to a reduction or minimization of sebum overproduction on the skin or scalp and / or reducing dandruff on the skin or scalp after application of the composition of the present invention. Therefore, the compositions of the present invention can be used for sebum control. Component (b), namely 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, and 2,3-nonanediol, exhibits an antimicrobial effect and an odor-masking effect. Therefore, these compounds are well-suited as ingredients in compositions for odor treatment and topical applications, i.e., on surfaces or on the skin or scalp of humans or mammals. Of the linear 2,3-alkanediols mentioned, the following 2,3-alkanediols are particularly preferred: 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, and 2,3-nonanediol. These alkanediols are liquids with a purity of 90 to 99%. Of the liquid alkanediols mentioned above, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, or certain mixtures of these liquid alkanediols are particularly preferred. These 2,3-alkanediols can be more easily incorporated into semi-finished or finished products. Preferably, component (b) is 2,3-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol. Due to their sebum-reducing effect, 2,3-alkanediols are particularly preferred in compositions according to the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention. Additionally, by mixing the corresponding liquid 2,3-alkanediol, even in small quantities, with a solid 1,2-alkanediol, solid 1,2-alkanediols, such as 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, etc., can be dissolved, resulting in a liquid alkanediol mixture. The 2,3-alkanediol acts as a solvent for the solid 1,2-alkanediols. Such liquid mixtures have the advantage of, firstly, improving the availability of the solid 1,2-alkanediol in the mixture and, secondly, facilitating the incorporation of the solid 1,2-alkanediol into semi-finished or finished products. This effect is particularly favorable for emulsions, in which lipophilic 1,2-alkanediols having a carbon chain of 8 or more carbon atoms, when used alone, tend to migrate to the oil phase or tend to precipitate or recrystallize. By dissolving solid 1,2-octanediol in liquid 2,3-octanediol or solid 1,2-nonanediol in liquid 2,3-nonanediol, the availability of 1,2-octanediol or 1,2-nonanediol can be equally improved in end use. Therefore, with the aforementioned properties of the specified alkanediol mixtures that include a 1,2-alkanediol and the respective 2,3-alkanediol, the processability in formulations can be improved. Therefore, a good balance can be achieved when the alkanediol mixture is combined in such a way as to maintain the effects described above while simultaneously improving processability in formulations. The combinations of 1,2-alkanediol and the corresponding 2,3-alkanediol specified above resolve this balancing problem compared to the 1,2-alkanediol or 2,3-alkanediol substances alone. Combinations such as those comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, as well as 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol, exhibit this effect. The same applies to 1,2-nonanediol in combination with 2,3-nonanediol. Furthermore, cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one linear 2,3-alkanediol offer the advantage of excellent formulation properties combined with good antimicrobial activity. Preferably, these 2,3-alkanediols have a carbon chain of 7 to 9 carbon atoms. Longer chains exhibit greater antimicrobial activity, but this must be balanced with formulability in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, a pleasant skin feel is important and can be achieved with 2,3-alkanediols, particularly those with chain lengths of C8 and C9. This balance between formulability and antimicrobial properties is achieved with the aforementioned alkanediols, particularly those with chain lengths of C8 to C10, hence C8, C9, and C10.However, longer C11 and C12 chain lengths are also possible for 2,3-alkanediols, which perform better than the corresponding higher 1,2-alkanediols of the same length. In a preferred embodiment of the second alternative composition according to either the first or second aspect of the present invention, component (b) (2,3-alkanediol) is present in the composition in an amount of 0.001 to 15.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In a preferred embodiment of the second alternative composition, the composition comprises component (b) (2,3-alkanediol) in an amount of 0.01 to 10.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In a more preferred embodiment, component (b) is advantageously used in the composition in an amount of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In an even more preferred embodiment, component (b) (2,3-alkanediol) is present in the composition in an amount of 0.3 to 3.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.Most preferably, component (b) (2, 3-alkanediol) is advantageously used in the composition of the second alternative in an amount of 0.5 to 1.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Even more preferably, the composition according to the first or second aspect comprises 2,3-alkanediol in an amount of 0.001 to 0.5% by weight, preferably in an amount of 0.005 to 0.1% by weight, and most preferably in an amount of 0.01 to 0.075% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Component (c) In a preferred embodiment, the compositions of the present invention are compositions that further comprise: (c) at least one or more insect-repellent compounds, in particular, an insect-repellent compound; selected from the group consisting of: 1-(1-methylpropoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine, N,N-diethyl-metatoluamide, p-menthane-3,8-diol, ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate, 2-undecanone, as well as essential oils, such as citronella oil, lemongrass oil, lavender oil, neem oil and eucalyptus oil, in particular p-menthane-3,8-diol, essential oils, such as citronella oil, lemongrass oil, lavender oil, neem oil and eucalyptus oil. Preferably, compound (c) is at least one or more insect-repellent compounds selected from the group consisting of 1-(1-methylpropoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine, N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, p-menthane-3,8-diol, ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate, 2-undecanone, and essential oils such as citronella oil, lemongrass oil, lavender oil, neem oil, and eucalyptus oil, particularly p-menthane-3,8-diol. Essential oils such as citronella oil, lemongrass oil, lavender oil, neem oil, and eucalyptus oil are more preferably selected from the group consisting of 1-(1-methylpropoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine, N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, p-menthane-3,8-diol, and ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate, most preferably, the insect repellent compound is p-menthane-3,8-diol (citriodiol). Compositions comprising compound (c) are well-suited for masking insect-attracting odors and repelling insects. The combination of compounds (a) and (b) leads to a reduction in body odor and the masking of insect-attracting odors, such as the odor of 1-octen-3-ol, thus making biting insects less attractive. Furthermore, the insect-repellent compound (c) ensures the repulsion of insects from the skin of humans or mammals. These effects reinforce each other and can therefore provide excellent insect repellent application. Moreover, the use of compositions of the present invention can reduce the strong initial odor of insect repellents such as citriodiol without significantly hindering the long-term effectiveness of the insect repellent.Therefore, very pleasant insect repellent products can be provided to users. Preferably, the compositions according to the present invention are compositions comprising compound (c) in an amount of 0.1 to 50.0% by weight, in particular in an amount of 0.5 to 45.0% by weight, more particularly in an amount of 1.0 to 40% by weight, most particularly in an amount of 2.0 to 25.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Component (d) Preferably, the compositions according to the present invention are compositions that further comprise: (d) at least one cosmetically or pharmaceutically active substance and / or additive. Within the context of the present invention, it is also possible, and in some advantageous cases, to combine the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention with other active substances, adjuvants, or additives. The at least one cosmetic or pharmaceutically active substance and / or additive according to the present invention may be any cosmetic or pharmaceutically active substance and / or additive known in the art.

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the following examples, which are merely illustrative of the present invention, so that the content of the present invention is not limited by or to the following examples. Examples A) Antimicrobial activity: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) Methods The MIC test is a proliferation inhibition test. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is estimated in 96-well plates. By comparing bacterial proliferation with positive and negative controls using optical density (OD), different concentrations of specific test substances are evaluated. The bacteria were cultured under conditions adjusted according to information from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) and stored in 50% glycerol before use. The following method was then applied: Add culture medium (according to the microorganism) to each well of the microplate. Add the assay substances at different concentrations, positive controls (water controls with medium only), and negative controls (references according to the organism). Add the microorganism at a concentration of 10⁶ CFU / ml (CFU = colony-forming units). Incubate the microplates under appropriate conditions. Based on the resulting proliferation, the concentrations of the substances are classified as inhibitory or non-inhibitory, and the MIC is defined as the lowest concentration at which complete inhibition of growth is observed. Experiments at concentration limits (the highest concentration being called the proliferation concentration and the lowest, the inhibitory concentration) are performed at least twice. Results Example A.1: Antimicrobial properties of alkanediols against microorganisms naturally associated with human skin Table 1: Antimicrobial properties of 1,2-heptanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol and 2,3-nonanediol against microorganisms naturally associated with human skin: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration MIC in m. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are expressed in ppm. ">5000" indicates that 5000 ppm was tested and no inhibition of proliferation was observed; higher values ​​were not investigated. As can be seen from these results, all the alkanediols tested exhibited an excellent antimicrobial effect against the microorganisms naturally associated with human skin. The best antimicrobial effect was achieved with 1,2-nonanediol. In addition, 2,3-nonanediol showed a remarkably strong antimicrobial effect. It has only recently been discovered that the microorganism Cor and Nebacterium jeikeium is one of those responsible for producing compounds that have an unpleasant odor from human sweat. Inhibiting the microbial activity of Cor and Nebacterium jeikeium is difficult. Surprisingly, 1,2-heptanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, and 2,3-nonanediol have been found to have an antimicrobial effect against Cor and Nebacterium jeikeium. In particular, the nonanediols tested showed a remarkably strong antimicrobial effect against Cor and Nebacterium jeikeium.Therefore, all the tested alkanediols are especially useful for treating unpleasant odors, for topical applications, and for masking insect-attracting odors, since insects are attracted, for example, to the scent of compounds produced by microbes in sweat. 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol are particularly useful. Table 2: Antimicrobial properties of 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol and 2,3-undecanediol compared to 1,2-decanediol against microorganisms naturally associated with human skin: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) in m Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are expressed in ppm. ">5000" indicates that 5000 ppm was tested and no inhibition of proliferation was observed; higher values ​​were not investigated. As shown in Table 2, 2,3-undecanediol exhibits the lowest MIC values ​​against all the microorganisms tested. This means that smaller quantities of 2,3-undecanediol are needed to inhibit the proliferation of these microorganisms. Furthermore, 2,3-undecanediol has similar MIC values ​​to 1,2-decanediol, which, however, has an inherently unpleasant odor. The antimicrobial performance of 2,3-undecanediol against C. jeikeium is even better than that of 1,2-decanediol. Example A.2: Synergistic activity of combinations including a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol against Staphylococcus aureus The synergistic activity of mixtures containing a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol was determined by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) according to the method described above in the Methods section. To verify that the tested combinations act synergistically against microorganisms of the natural skin microbiota of mammals, corresponding experiments were conducted with Staphylococcus aureus, a known skin pathogen. The synergistic activities of different alkanediol mixtures containing a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol in the proportions specified in Table 3 below were determined by measuring the MIC of the mixture as described in the Methods section. To calculate the synergy index with the MIC values, Kull's equation (I) was used: SI = (CMImix x PA) / CMIA + (CMImix x PB) / CMIB (I) where SI is the Synergy Index according to Kull CMIA is the CMI value of component A CMIB is the CMI value of component B CMImezcla is the CMI value for the mixture of components A and B PA is the proportion of Component A in the mixture PB is the proportion of Component B in the mixture Table 3: MIC values ​​and synergy index of different alkanediol mixtures including a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2-lnilmmnn nimi rin nr A r ill r ili ni For all tested mixtures of 1,2-alkanediol and 2,3-alkanediol according to the present invention, synergistic effects were found in terms of antimicrobial efficacy with SI values ​​less than 1. Furthermore, a synergistic antimicrobial efficacy was observed for an alkanediol mixture including 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (90:10) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Synergy Index for this alkanediol mixture was 0.50. Example A.3: Other antimicrobial properties of 1,2-nonanediol Table 4: Antimicrobial properties of 12-nonanediol: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) in m Furthermore, as shown in Table 4, 1,2-nonanediol exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against other microorganisms naturally associated with human skin. It was only recently discovered that the microorganism Anaerococcus octavius ​​is responsible for producing unpleasant-smelling compounds from human sweat. Inhibiting the microbial activity of Anaerococcus octavius ​​is challenging. Surprisingly, 1,2-nonanediol was found to have an antimicrobial effect against Anaerococcus octavius. Therefore, 1,2-nonanediol is particularly useful for treating unpleasant odors, topical applications, and masking insect-attracting odors. Example A.4: Synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of mixtures of 1,2-alkanediol and 2,3-alkanediol (according to the invention) and of 2,3-alkanediols (not according to the invention) The following preservation efficacy tests (PET) were performed to demonstrate the antimicrobial efficacy of the compositions according to the present invention and, in particular, to demonstrate potentiation, i.e., the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of said compositions. The preservation efficacy test (PET) was performed in accordance with section 5.1.3 of the European Pharmacopoeia: This test is a European Pharmacopoeia reference method used to evaluate the preservation system of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation. The test consists of exposing the preparation to be tested to prescribed inocula of suitable microorganisms. The preservation properties of the preparation are adequate if, under the test conditions, a significant decrease or absence of increase, as appropriate, is observed in the number of microorganisms in the inoculated preparations after the prescribed time. The test microorganisms used are as follows: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) (bacteria); Staphylococcus aureus (SA) (bacteria); Escherichia coli (EC) (bacteria); Candida albicans (CA) (yeast); and Aspergillus brasiliensis (AB) (fungus). Table 5: Results of the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol against bacteria, yeasts, fungi / molds in o / w emulsion The synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol against yeasts is shown in Figure 1. The synergistic antimicrobial effect of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, as shown in Table 5, demonstrates that compositions according to the present invention comprising at least one 1,2-alkanediol and at least one 2,3-alkanediol, as defined above, are useful in effective odor control products, in topical products, and in products intended to mask odors that attract insects. Table 6: Results of the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-heptanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol and 23-nonanediol in shampoo From Table 6 above, it is clear that 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, and 2,3-nonanediol also have antimicrobial efficacy against different bacteria (represented by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Escherichia coli (EC)), yeasts (represented by Candida albicans (CA)), and fungi (represented by Aspergillus brasiliensis (AB)) when used in a shampoo formulation. Table 7: Results of the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol against yeasts and fungi / molds in o / w emulsion Table 7 above shows that a mixture of 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol also has antimicrobial efficacy against different yeasts (represented by Candida albicans (CA)) and fungi (represented by Aspergillus brasiliensis (AB)). Table 8: Results of the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol (in wet wipes against yeast in solution for wet wipes) Table 8 above shows that a mixture of 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol also has antimicrobial efficacy against yeast (represented by Candida albicans (CA)). Table 9: Results of the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol against fungi in o / w emulsion Table 9 above shows that a mixture of 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol also has antimicrobial efficacy against fungi (represented by Aspergillus brasiliensis (AB)). Table 10: Results of the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol against fungi in o / w emulsion Table 10 above shows that a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol also has antimicrobial efficacy against fungi (represented by Aspergillus brasiliensis (AB)). B) Covering up bad odors Example B.1: Coverage of bad sweat odor using 1,2-heptanediol Method The odor coverage was tested in a set configuration with a trained panel (n=8-9). For this sensory test, a defined amount of the material was applied to filter paper along with a defined amount of sweat odor. For evaluation, panelists were asked to rate the individual samples on a scale of 0 to 10 (0: odorless; 10: strongest imaginable). A significant reduction in the bad odor of 1,2-alkanediols was observed in the tested example 1,2-heptanediol after 6 h. The initial bad odor value was reduced from 5.6 to 4.8 after 6 h. Table 11: Odor coverage effect of 12-he tanodiol 1,2-Heptanediol does not possess a recognizable intrinsic odor. Therefore, the odor-masking effect of 1,2-heptanediol is not based on an odor that cancels out the odor of sweat. The reason or mechanism of the odor-masking effect of alkanediols according to the present invention is still unknown. However, the odor-masking effect is remarkably high. Consequently, the alkanediols of the present invention, particularly 1,2-heptanediol, are useful for effective odor control, topical applications, and in products for masking insect-attracting odors. Table 12: Results of odor coverage experiments for the test compositions based on hetanodiol C7 after 6 h 24 h Classification: 1 = most odor to 6 = least odor) Table 12 shows the results of the odor coverage experiments for the heptanediol (C7)-based samples. The results above show that combining 1,2-heptanediol with 2,3-heptanediol in different proportions allows for a significant improvement in odor elimination, thanks to the effective neutralization of odors, compared to using 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol separately. The combination of the isomeric heptanediols produces a synergistic effect superior to that of the individual substances. Further combining these isomeric mixtures with additional cooling agents results in even greater synergy. Therefore, only small amounts of compound 2,3 are needed to achieve a noticeable beneficial effect. Table 13: Results of odor coverage experiments for C8 octanediol-based test compositions after 6 h 24 h Classification: 1 = most odor, 6 = least odor As can be seen from the previous results, the pure alkanediol compounds exhibit an odor index of 2.8 and 3.2 after 24 hours. Consequently, the corresponding mixtures of both compounds should exhibit an expected odor index between 2.8 and 3.2 measured after 24 hours. However, in fact, mixtures of both compounds in different proportions exhibit an odor index ranging from 3.6 to 4.2 after 24 hours, indicating a beneficial synergy between the isomeric octanediol compounds. Therefore, mixtures of both isomeric forms, i.e., compositions comprising a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol according to the present invention, show a synergistic odor-covering effect after 24 hours. Thus, small quantities of the 2,3-alkanediol compound are sufficient to achieve a noticeable beneficial effect.Table 14: Results of odor coverage experiments for test compositions based on combinations of heptanediols (C7) and octanediols (C8) after 6 h and 24 h (Ranking: 1 = most odor to 6 = least odor. As shown in the previous results, pure alkanediol compounds differing in chain length exhibit an odor index of 3.1 and 3.4 after 24 h. Consequently, corresponding mixtures of both compounds should exhibit an expected odor index between 3.2 and 3.4 measured after 24 h. However, in fact, mixtures of both compounds in different proportions exhibit an odor index ranging from 3.4 to 4.1 after 24 h, indicating a beneficial synergy between 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol, which have different chain lengths. Therefore, mixtures of said different alkanediols in different proportions, i.e. compositions comprising a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol that differ in their chain lengths (heterocombination) according to the present invention, show a synergistic odor-covering effect after 24 h.Thus, small amounts of compound 2, 3 are sufficient to achieve a noticeable beneficial effect and effectively neutralize bad odors. Example B.2: Effect of the elimination of unpleasant odors on fragrance ingredients Method Test conditions: The fragrance ingredients (1% w / w) in aqueous / ethanolic solution (7:3) were sprayed onto paper strips and compared to solutions containing alkanediols after 10 min and 25 min, respectively. Test substances: Table 15: Stolen Alkanediols Table 16: Stolen Fragrance Mixture: Preparation of the fragrance blend ("FRA blend"): The fragrance ingredients listed above in Table 13 were mixed by stirring at room temperature with a magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes at 350 rpm. Table 17: Stolen ethanolic / aqueous solution he tanodiols octanediols Preparation of fragrance solutions: The FRA mixture specified above was pre-dissolved in the alkanediol mixture according to Table 14, and ethanol was added. The solution was vortexed for 15 seconds. Water was then added, and the resulting solution was vortexed again for another 15 seconds. To evaluate the sensory behavior of alkanediols in combination with various odor compounds, the odor compounds were mixed with the alkanediol mixtures and dissolved in an EtOH / water solution. These mixtures were then evaluated by untrained panelists and compared to corresponding samples prepared without the addition of alkanediol (placebo). Odor intensity was assigned a corresponding value between 1 and 5 (rating: 1 = weak odor; 5 = strong odor / high odor intensity). T l 1 : Ev lin 1 min lnil: hnil Table 19: Evaluation after 25 minutes alkanediol: he tandiol The results of the evaluation are further shown in Figure 2a. Table 20: Evaluation after 10 minutes alkanediol: octanediol Table 21: Evaluation after 25 minutes alkanediol: octanediol The results of the evaluation are further shown in Figure 2b. As can be seen from the data in Tables 18 to 21 and Figures 2a and 2b, there is a synergistic odor-masking effect for samples 4 and 8 comprising compositions according to the present invention that include a mixture of 1,2-alkanediols and 2,3-alkanediols. A clear reduction in fragrance intensity was observed after 10 min and 25 min, respectively, with the addition of 1,2-alkanediols, 2,3-alkanediols, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, all panelists identified a reduction in pungent / sharp odor notes. In particular, C12 NMA aldehyde has a strong pungent / sharp odor note, which is typically difficult to suppress or mask.Therefore, the effective suppression or masking of the undesirable fragrance note of C12 NMA aldehydes by incorporating 1,2-alkanediols, 2,3-alkanediols, and mixtures thereof is noteworthy. Significant improvements were observed when using 1,2-alkanediols or 2,3-alkanediols as is. The particularly noticeable masking of the aforementioned unpleasant odor note was especially effective in compositions containing 1,2-heptanediols in combination with 2,3-heptanediol and 1,2-octanediols in combination with 2,3-octanediol. No other effects of pure ethanol as a fragrance carrier were found, and thus the compositions achieve excellent odor masking in various media or media combinations.As these results show, the compositions according to the present invention can be used effectively to reduce unpleasant odors and control body odor. In particular, the compositions comprising 1,2-heptanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 1,2-octanediol, and / or 2,3-octanediol provide excellent effects for reducing unpleasant odors and controlling body odor. Example B.3: Coverage effect against bad odors and insect-attracting compounds Method Test conditions: The ingredients (1% w / w) in an aqueous / ethanolic (7:3) solution were sprayed onto paper strips and compared to solutions containing alkanediols directly and after 5 min, respectively. Test substances: Table 22: Stolen Alkanediols Table 23: Malodorous compound / insect attractant that is a compound normally found in human sweat Table 24: Stolen ethanolic / aqueous solution Preparation of fragrance solutions: 1-Octen-3-ol was pre-dissolved in the alkanediol mixtures as specified in Table 21, ethanol was added, and the solutions were vortexed for 15 seconds. Subsequently, water was added, and the resulting solutions were vortexed again for a further 15 seconds. Table 25: Evaluation after 0 minutes 1-octen-3-ol Table 26: Evaluation after 5 minutes 1-octen-3-ol The results of the experiment are shown in Figure 3. A clear reduction in the intensity of the compound was observed immediately and after 5 minutes, respectively, upon adding the alkanediol mixtures specified in Table 24. All panelists (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6) identified a significant reduction in the unpleasant earthy / rotten note. Therefore, a strong impact on the odor reduction of 1-octen-3-ol was observed. The excellent suppression of 1-octen-3-ol odor achieved by the compositions according to the present invention demonstrates that the compositions of the present invention are useful for effectively masking insect-attracting odors and sweat odors. No other effects of pure ethanol as a carrier were found; therefore, the compositions achieve an excellent odor-covering and insect-masking effect in different media or media compositions.These results demonstrate that the compositions according to the present invention can be used to significantly reduce bad odors, for body odor control, and to mask insect-attracting odors. Example B.4: Enhancing / masking effect of alkanediols on fragrance ingredients Test conditions: The paper strips were immersed in the fragrance solution (1% w / w; aqueous / ethanolic (7:3) ; see example 5) and compared with solutions containing alkanediols after 10 and 30 minutes, respectively. To evaluate the sensory behavior of alkanediols together with various odor compounds, the odor compounds were mixed with the alkanediol (mixture) and analyzed according to the method described in Example B.2 in comparison with corresponding samples prepared without the addition of alkanediol(s) (placebo sample). The test conditions, as well as the FRA mixture, correspond to those used in Example B.2. Preparation of fragrance solutions: The FRA mixture specified above (according to Table 13) was pre-dissolved in the alkanediol mixture according to Table 24, and ethanol was added. The solution was stirred for 3 min using a magnetic stirrer. Subsequently, water was added, and the resulting solution was stirred again for another 3 min. To evaluate the sensory behavior of alkanediols together with different odor compounds, the odor compounds were mixed with the alkanediol (mixture) and dissolved in an EtOH / water solution and were evaluated by untrained panelists (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7) compared to corresponding samples that were prepared without adding alkanediol(s) (placebo sample). The odor intensity was assigned a corresponding value between 1 and 5 (Rating: 1 = weak odor; 5 = strong odor / high odor intensity). Table 27: Stolen ethanolic / aqueous solutions The intensity of the odor was assigned a corresponding value between 1 and 5 (Classification: 1 = weak odor; 5 = strong odor / high odor intensity). Table 28: Evaluation after 10 and 30 minutes respectively. Table 29: Evaluation after 10 and 30 minutes, respectively: results ordered according to the effect of masking The results of the evaluation are further shown in Figures 26a and 26b, respectively. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that both alkanediols alone and mixtures of 1,2-alkanediols with 2,3-alkanediols effectively mask the fragrance mixture. Therefore, 1,2-heptanediol masks the fragrance most effectively, followed by the mixture of the two diols that differ in chain length (heterocombination). 2,3-octanediol alone exhibits the least masking effect in this test. Sebum control Example C.1: Sebum control Further tests were conducted on human sebaceous glands to assess the modulating activity of various 1,2-alkanediols and 2,3-alkanediols on sebum secretion. Several skin microbial species are lipid-dependent and feed on human sebum (i.e., Cor. nebacterium, Propionibacterium). Therefore, reducing sebum may indirectly reduce the number of microorganisms on the skin and thus indirectly contribute to, for example, reducing dandruff or acne. For these experiments, sebaceous glands were microdissected and cultured in a medium. The medium without any supplementation served as an untreated control. The medium containing 5 µM capsaicin served as a positive control. Additionally, the culture medium was supplemented with different concentrations of alkanediols. After six days, the sebaceous glands were harvested, and the lipids and proteins were quantified. The total amount of lipids representative of sebum production was obtained by normalizing the quantified lipids to the quantified proteins (i.e., mg of lipids / mg of proteins). The results are shown in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4, all the 1,2-alkanediols analyzed showed a reduction in sebum compared to an untreated control group. This demonstrates the sebum-reducing action of 1,2-alkanediols. In the case of 2,3-alkanediols, the sebum-reducing effect is even greater, particularly for 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, and 2,3-decanediol. 1,2-heptanediol shows a 22% reduction in sebum, while 2,3-heptanediol shows a 30% reduction. 1,2-nonanediol reduces sebum secretion by 28%, while 2,3-nonanediol reduces it by 41%. The greatest reduction in sebum was observed with 1,2-undecanediol, at 44%, while 2,3-undecanediol resulted in a sebum reduction exceeding 50%. Therefore, 2,3-alkanediol substances have a distinct effect on sebum reduction compared to their corresponding 1,2-alkanediol counterparts.However, no linear correlation was found between molecule length and activity. The highest yield of the 1,2-alkanediols was 1,2-undecanediol, and the highest yield of the 2,3-alkanediols was 2,3-nonanediol and 2,3-undecanediol. All results shown in this figure come from a single experiment with human sebaceous glands from the same human donor. For 1,2-nonanediol, the concentration dependence was further investigated and experimentally confirmed. The results are shown in Figure 5. All the results shown in this figure are from a single experiment using human sebaceous glands from the same human donor and differ from the experimental results shown previously. Based on these results, it is hypothesized that 1,2-alkanediols, particularly 1,2-undecanediol, and 2,3-alkanediols, particularly 2,3-nonanediol and 2,3-undecanediol, have microbiota-balancing or reducing properties indirectly through sebum reduction. Therefore, the compositions of the present invention can be used for sebum control, odor control, and topical applications. D) Antioxidant boosting effect To evaluate the influence of 1,2-alkanediols and / or 2,3-alkanediols on the antioxidant capacity of antioxidants, two different tests were performed: (1) Treatment with Oxipres to simulate product protection; and (2) Evaluation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for skin protection. The following tests were performed with sunflower oil + / - antioxidant and + / - alkanediols. Sunflower oil was used because it is composed mainly of less stable polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Treating it with heat and oxygen readily triggers and accelerates oxidation.

The Oxipres method is based on oxygen consumption at high temperatures and pressures and allows for the determination of oxidation resistance (shelf life) of, for example, oils. The test is performed under elevated pressure and temperature, which accelerates the process. In the Oxipres test, the sample is placed inside a hermetically sealed iron container that is subjected to high oxygen pressures and temperatures of 90 to 120 °C. The samples described above were treated in the Oxipres device for 48 hours at 80 °C and 5 bar pressure, and the induction period was determined. Oxygen consumption causes a pressure drop in the container during the test. A greater pressure drop indicates higher oxygen consumption and greater oxidation of the product under test.Oils with a high degree of unsaturation are the most prone to auto-oxidation. The induction period is the time during which a fat or oil exhibits stability against oxidation due to its naturally occurring or added antioxidant content. In the test, the antioxidants oxidize preferentially before the oxidizable fat or oil. Therefore, the antioxidants protect the fat or oil from oxidation. Afterward, a sudden and large consumption of oxygen occurs, and the fat becomes rancid. This period can be defined by the induction period (IP) in hours. A shorter IP correlates with faster oxidation. Equipment: The tests were performed using an Oxipres device from Mikrolab. This is a modification of the pump method (ASTM D941 standard), which is based on oxidation with oxygen. Before and after the Oxipres treatment, an odor assessment of the samples was also performed, and the acidity value of the samples was determined before and after the Oxipres treatment. The principle of the acidity determination is based on the neutralization of free acids by titration with ethanolic or aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. The value indicates the number of milligrams (mg) of KOH required to neutralize the free acids in 1 g of the test substance. The titration, in accordance with the instructions for use and Article 64 of the LFGB (formerly Article 35 of the LMBG), is carried out by titration with a potassium hydroxide solution until a pH value of 8.1 is reached. The following table provides an overview of the samples, antioxidants, alkanediols, and the resulting induction period (IP) value. Table 30: Overview of alkanediol antioxidants Induction period IP Table 31: Results of the IP induction period of the acid value after treatment with Oxires The results in Table 31 clearly show that sample 3 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol), sample 4 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% of an alkanediol mixture of 95% 1,2-heptanediol and 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol), sample 8 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol), sample 10 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.1% 1,2-decanediol), and sample 12 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.2% 2,3-octanediol) 5%), meaning that samples containing an antioxidant along with a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol or a mixture thereof have prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Samples with 1,2-alkanediol or 2,3-alkanediol alone have no antioxidant effect. The favorable results mentioned above are confirmed by a lower acidity value. The acid value is defined as the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the free fatty acids present in one gram of fat. It is a relative measure of rancidity, since free fatty acids are normally formed during the breakdown of triglycerides. Consequently, the acid value correlates with the degree of rancidity of an oil. In comparison, comparative sample 1 (sunflower oil without antioxidant or alkanediol), comparative sample 2 (sunflower oil with tocopherol), and comparative samples 5 and 6 (sunflower oil with alkanediol but without tocopherol) had a shorter induction period (IP) (indicating a shorter shelf life), meaning that oxidative degradation begins earlier compared to the samples containing an antioxidant plus an alkanediol.The comparative samples also showed higher acidity values. In addition, the delta values ​​of the IP points were calculated for the above samples against the corresponding IP points of sunflower oil without additives, as shown in Table 28. The ROS test results are summarized in the following tables: Table 32: The results are shown in Figure 8. As can be seen in Figure 8, both sample 3 and sample 4 have prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that these media are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 33: The results are shown in Figure 9. As can be seen in Figure 9, a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (98:2) results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 34: The results are shown in Figure 10. As can be seen in Figure 10, a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (99:1) results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 35: The results are shown in Figure 11. As can be seen in Figure 11, 2,3-hexanediol results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator sample. Table 36: The results are shown in Figure 12. As can be seen in Figure 12, both sample 22 and sample 24 result in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 37: The results are shown in Figure 13. As can be seen in Figure 13, a mixture of 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol (50:50) results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 38: The results are shown in Figure 14. As can be seen in Figure 14, a mixture of 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-decanediol (95:5) results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 39: The results are shown in Figure 15. As can be seen in Figure 15, a mixture of 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-decanediol (50:50) results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. The induction period is even longer compared to a mixture of 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-decanediol (95:5). Table 40: The results are shown in Figure 16. As can be seen in Figure 16, a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-hexanediol (50:50) results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the sample is more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 41: The results are shown in Figure 17. Table 42: The results are shown in Figure 18. As can be seen in Figure 18, sample 41 and sample 5 resulted in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). However, a mixture of 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol considerably prolonged the induction period. This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 43: The results are shown in Figure 19. As can be seen in Figure 19, sample 47 resulted in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). However, a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (95:5) considerably prolonged the induction period. This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 44: The results are shown in Figure 20. As can be seen in Figure 20, sample 51 results in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 45: The results are shown in Figure 21. As can be seen in Figure 21, both sample 54 and sample 55 resulted in prolonged induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). However, a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (95:5) considerably prolonged the induction period. This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 46: The results are shown in Figure 22. As can be seen in Figure 22, both 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, together with hydroxyacetophenone, result in remarkably long induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. Table 47: The results are shown in Figure 23. As can be seen in Figure 23, both 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, together with ascorbyl palmitate, result in remarkably long induction periods (indicating a longer shelf life). This means that the samples are more stable against oxidative degradation than the comparator samples. As demonstrated in the previous example, the induction period of the samples can be prolonged with an antioxidant (tocopherol) and can be further enhanced, i.e., synergistically, by combining an antioxidant with an alkanediol. Therefore, the oxidation process of the sample containing an oil can be slowed down with the concurrent use of an antioxidant and an alkanediol. Example D.2: Evaluation of the odor of samples 1 to 12 from example D.1 A sensory evaluation of the samples from example D.1 was performed after the Oxipres treatment with 12 untrained panelists. The panelists evaluated the rancid odor of each sample on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 = strong rancid odor; 1 = no rancid odor). Test samples: Sample 1: Sunflower oil without additives Sample 2: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol Sample 3: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol and 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample 4: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% and 0.5% tocopherol from a 95% alkanediol mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol* Sample 5: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample 6: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol Sample 7: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol Sample 8: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol and 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol Sample 9: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% 1,2-decanediol Sample 10: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol and 0.1% 1,2-decanediol Sample 11: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 2,3-octanediol Sample 12: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol and 0.5% 2,3-octanediol * according to the invention The results of the sensory evaluation of samples 1 to 12 are summarized in Table 46. Table 48: Sensory evaluation results The values ​​in Table 48 clearly show that sample 3 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol), sample 4 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% of an alkanediol mixture of 95% 1,2-heptanediol and 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol), sample 8 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol), sample 10 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.1% 1,2-decanediol), and sample 12 (sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.2% 2,3-octanediol) 5%), that is, the samples containing an antioxidant along with 1,2-heptanediol and / or 2,3-heptanediol have a better smell, that is, the samples showed less rancid smell than the comparative examples.Comparative sample 1 (sunflower oil without antioxidant or alkanediol), comparative sample 2 (sunflower oil with tocopherol) and comparative samples 5 and 6 (sunflower oil with alkanediol without tocopherol) had a stronger rancid smell. As the above tests demonstrate, oxidative degradation can be reduced or minimized with an antioxidant (tocopherol) and can be further reduced, i.e., strengthened, by adding an antioxidant along with an alkanediol. A remarkable effectiveness in enhancing antioxidant activity (prolonged induction time, less rancidity and reduced acidity index) has been demonstrated for 1,2-heptanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-octanediol. The above results allow us to conclude that the samples comprising an antioxidant together with an alkanediol have an antioxidant effect that is clearly above that provided with an antioxidant alone. Example D.3: Antioxidant potential in ex vivo skin biopsies (lipophilic or aqueous / alcoholic (ethanolic) test samples) A dichlorofluorescein (DCF) assay was performed to determine the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ex vivo skin treated with different test samples in a lipophilic or aqueous / alcoholic system, as described below. DCF assay - assay principle: Ex vivo skin was incubated with 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate at 37 °C, 5% CO2. After washing with PBS, the samples were either exposed or not exposed to cumene hydroperoxide. Immediately after exposure, ex vivo skin samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen, and 5 µm cryostatic sections were prepared and fixed with acetone to allow visualization of the fluorescence generated by ROS in the cells of the reconstructed skin. The resulting fluorescence was measured at 504 / 524 nm EX / EM. Green fluorescence in the ex vivo skin was quantified using ImageJ software. The depth of immunostaining was measured as follows: cells positive for green DCFH-DE were automatically detected using Histolab software, and the distance between the dermoepidermal junction and the deepest positive cells was measured in each condition. Means were compared using a Student's t-test. Two means were considered statistically different when p < 0.005. Image acquisition was performed using an Olympus BX51 microscope and an Olympus DP70 camera. Two skin sections were taken from each skin sample, and the corresponding fluorescence images were acquired and analyzed. Therefore, for each test condition, 12 images (i.e., 12 data points) were acquired and analyzed. Fluorescence analysis was performed within the dermis. In each image, the upper dermis was analyzed by evaluating fluorescence using a modified Image-J application (NIH, USA). The analyzed area was selected from the upper part, following the perimeter of the basal lamina, into the deep dermis, carefully avoiding the inclusion of irregularities and clusters, such as blood vessels, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. The resulting value was normalized according to the size of the selected area.In addition, an AOX mixture is always tested concurrently as a positive control, i.e., as a reference for the ROS analysis. The AOX mixture is a blend of the following antioxidants: 15% vitamin C, 1% vitamin E, and 0.5% ferulic acid in a 50:50 EtOH / H2O mixture. Description of the ROS scoring method: The pigmentation scoring is based on the following process steps: (1) Image analysis based on pixel gray intensities; (2) Selection of an informative area excluding the uncovered pixel area from the fabric; (3) Transformation of pixel gray intensities into degrees of L*; (4) Normalization of the values ​​obtained in the ratio between the selected area and the area of ​​the slide. A higher level of ROS (reactive oxygen species) led to an increase in the amount of fluorescence. The chemical principle of the dichlorofluorescein (DCF) assay is described below: The chemical equation illustrates the conversion of 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) by esterases in the intracellular medium and its subsequent two-step oxidation in the presence of radical species (mainly ROS). Example D.3.1: DCF assay in biopsy antioxidant test: 1,2-alkanediols or 2,3-alkanediols plus / minus tocopherol for lipophilic test samples The dichlorofluorescein (DCF) test, as described above, was performed with different test samples in a lipophilic test system, as described below: Test samples: (not in accordance with the invention) Sample A: Vehicle: sunflower oil without additives Sample B: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol Sample C: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.3% 1,2-pentanediol Sample D: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.3% 1,2-hexanediol Sample E: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.3% 1,2-heptanediol Sample F: Sunflower oil plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.3% 2,3-heptanediol Sample K: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 1,2-pentanediol Sample L: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 1,2-hexanediol Sample M: ​​Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample O: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol Sample P: Sunflower oil plus 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol The ROS scores of the samples specified above are summarized in Table 49. Table 49: ROS scoring results Table 49: ROS scoring results cont. The ROS score results from Table 49 are visualized in Figures 6a and 6b. The results in Table 49 and Figures 6a and 6b clearly demonstrate that the addition of 1,2-alkanediols and / or 2,3-alkanediols to a sample (C, D, E, or F) containing sunflower oil plus an antioxidant (tocopherol) results in a reduction of more than 60% in ROS scores compared to a sunflower oil sample containing only tocopherol and without the addition of a 1,2-alkanediol or a 2,3-alkanediol. Samples K, L, M, O, and P, containing only a 1,2-alkanediol or a 2,3-alkanediol without an antioxidant, have no antioxidant efficacy. From the above, it can be concluded that adding a 1,2-alkanediol or a 2,3-alkanediol to a composition comprising an antioxidant results in a considerable reduction in ROS scores. In other words, combining an antioxidant with a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol demonstrates improved ROS scavenging efficiency. Example D.3.2: DCF assay in biopsy antioxidant test: 1,2-alkanediols or 2,3-alkanediols plus / minus tocopherol for aqueous / alcoholic test samples The dichlorofluorescein (DCF) test, as described above, was performed with different test samples in an aqueous / alcoholic (ethanolic) test system, as described below: Test samples: Sample 1: Vehicle (EtOH / H2O) Sample 2: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol Sample 3: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample 4: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol Sample 5: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus alkanediol mixture (0.5% 1,2-heptanediol and 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol) * Sample 6: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-octanediol Sample 7: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 2,3-octanediol Sample 8: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus alkanediol mixture (0.5% 1,2-octanediol and 0.5% 2,3-octanediol) * Sample 10: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol Sample 11: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 1,2-undecanediol Sample 12: Vehicle plus 0.1% tocopherol plus 0.5% 2,3-undecanediol Sample 13: Vehicle plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample 14: Vehicle plus 2,3-heptanediol at 0.5% Sample 15: Vehicle plus 0.5% 1,2-octanediol Sample 16: Vehicle plus 0.5% 2,3-octanediol Sample 17: Vehicle plus 0.5% 1,2-nonanediol Sample 18: Vehicle plus 0.5% 1,2-undecanediol Sample 19: Vehicle plus 0.5% 2,3-undecanediol * according to the invention The ROS scores are summarized in Table 50. Table 50: ROS scoring results Table 50: ROS scoring results cont. The ROS score results from Table 50 are displayed in Figures 7a and 7b. The results in Table 50 and Figures 7a and 7b clearly demonstrate that the addition of 1,2-alkanediols and / or 2,3-alkanediols to a sample containing an aqueous alcoholic vehicle plus an antioxidant (tocopherol) leads to a reduction of more than 80% in ROS scores compared to an aqueous / alcoholic vehicle sample containing only tocopherol and without the addition of a 1,2-alkanediol or a 2,3-alkanediol. Samples containing only the vehicle and a 1,2-alkanediol or a 2,3-alkanediol have no antioxidant efficacy. From the above, it can be concluded that the addition of a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol to a composition comprising an antioxidant results in a considerable reduction of ROS scores. In other words, the combination of an antioxidant with a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol demonstrates an improvement in ROS scavenging efficiency. Example D.3.3: DCF assay in biopsy antioxidant test: 1,2-alkanediols or 2,3-alkanediols plus / minus Dihydroavenanthramide D for aqueous / alcoholic test samples The dichlorofluorescein (DCF) test, as described above, was performed with different test samples in an aqueous / alcoholic (ethanolic) test system, as described below: Test samples: Sample 1: Vehicle (EtOH / H2O) Sample 2: Vehicle plus 50 ppm of dihydroavenanthramide D Sample 3: Vehicle plus 50 ppm of dihydroavenanthramide D plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample 4: Vehicle plus 50 ppm of dihydroavenanthramide D plus 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol Sample 5: Vehicle plus 50 ppm of dihydroavenanthramide D plus 0.5% alkanediol mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (95:5 ratio) [according to the invention]. The ROS scores are summarized in Table 50. Table 51: ROS scoring results The ROS score results from Table 51 are displayed in Figure 24. The results in Table 51 and Figure 24 clearly demonstrate that the addition of 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol, or an alkanediol mixture including 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, to a sample containing an aqueous alcoholic vehicle plus an antioxidant (Dihydroavenanthramide D) leads to a reduction of more than 60% in ROS scores compared to an aqueous / alcoholic vehicle sample containing only Dihydroavenanthramide and without the addition of 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol. Samples containing only the vehicle and either 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol have no antioxidant efficacy. From the above, it can be concluded that the addition of a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol to a composition comprising an antioxidant results in a considerable reduction of ROS scores. In other words, the combination of an antioxidant with a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol demonstrates an improvement in ROS scavenging efficiency. Example D.3.4: DCF assay in biopsy antioxidant test: 1,2-alkanediols or 2,3-alkanediols plus / minus cannabidiol for aqueous / alcoholic test samples The dichlorofluorescein (DCF) test, as described above, was performed with different test samples in an aqueous / alcoholic (ethanolic) test system, as described below: Test samples: Sample 1: Vehicle (EtOH / H2O) Sample 2: Vehicle plus 5 ppm of cannabidiol Sample 3: Vehicle plus 5 ppm of cannabidiol plus 0.5% 1,2-heptanediol Sample 4 Vehicle plus 5 ppm of cannabidiol plus 0.5% 2,3-heptanediol Sample 5: Vehicle plus 5 ppm of cannabidiol plus 0.5% alkandiol mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (95:5 ratio) [according to the invention]. The ROS scores are summarized in Table 52. Table 52: ROS scoring results The ROS score results from Table 52 are displayed in Figure 25. The results in Table 52 and Figure 25 clearly demonstrate that the addition of 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol or an alkanediol mixture including 1,2-heptanediol and / or 2,3-heptanediol to a sample including an aqueous alcoholic vehicle plus an antioxidant (Cannabidiol) reduces ROS scores by more than 70% compared to a sample of an aqueous / alcoholic vehicle with an antioxidant (Cannabidiol). 3-heptanediol to a sample including an aqueous alcoholic vehicle plus an antioxidant (Cannabidiol) leads to a reduction of more than 70% in ROS scores compared to a sample of an aqueous / alcoholic vehicle with only Cannabidiol and without the addition of 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol. Samples that include only the vehicle and 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol do not have antioxidant efficacy. From the above, it can be concluded that the addition of a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol to a composition comprising an antioxidant results in a considerable reduction of ROS scores. In other words, the combination of an antioxidant with a 1,2-alkanediol and / or a 2,3-alkanediol demonstrates an improvement in ROS scavenging efficiency. E) Improvement of the sensory properties of topical formulations containing liquid lipophilic components To evaluate sensory behavior, the liquid lipophilic components specified in the table below were mixed with 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol or a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol or 1,2-octanediol or 2,3-octanediol or a mixture of 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol (formulation) in an 85:15 ratio and evaluated by untrained panelists compared to the liquid lipophilic component without the addition of the specified alkanediols (placebo). The test procedure was carried out as follows: To evaluate the sensory behavior of 1,2-alkanediols and / or 2,3-alkanediols in combination with different liquid lipophilic components, the oily components specified in the following table were mixed with a 1,2-alkanediol or a 2,3-alkanediol, or with a mixture including a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol, in the proportions indicated in Table 53, and were evaluated by a group of untrained tasters compared to the liquid lipophilic component without the addition of 1,2-alkanediol or 2,3-alkanediol or the mixture including a 1,2-alkanediol and a 2,3-alkanediol (placebo). Testing procedure: • The hands were previously washed with liquid soap following an established procedure; 30 µl of the corresponding sample was applied to the back of each hand (randomly); After 30 seconds, the spreadability of each formulation on the skin was evaluated in comparison with the corresponding oily component without 1,2-heptanediol, on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = low spread; 5 = high spread); The samples were distributed using the tips of the middle and index fingers in 2 series of 5 cycles; After 2 minutes, the oily / greasy skin sensation was assessed on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = low oily / greasy skin sensation; 5 = very oily / greasy skin sensation); In addition, applicants were asked to rate absorption, i.e., the impression of the amount of residue left on the skin on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = low absorption; 5 = high absorption). Table 53: It was discovered that the use of 2,3-heptanediol or a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol or 2,3-octanediol or a mixture of 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol improves spreadability and / or significantly reduces the greasy / oily feel on the skin of the oily ingredients. In parallel, absorption was also improved (less residue was left). In particular, lipophilic liquid components, which are inherently poor dispersors and whose initial diffusion score (i.e., without the addition of an alkanediol component) was <2, showed a marked improvement in spreading for both the single alkanediol compound analyzed and the alkanediol mixture analyzed. A mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol yielded the best results.
