Patent AT-E400242-T1: [Translated] VISCOUS COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CARBON DIOXIDE

The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition comprising an aqueous viscous composition containing one or more thickeners and carbon dioxide, wherein the aqueous viscous composition comprises the carbon dioxide in the form of bubbles, the carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition being characterized in that the thickener is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and salts thereof, carboxy-methylethyl cellulose and salts thereof, croscarmellose and salts thereof, crystalline cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate phthalate, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate, powdered cellulose, methyl cellulose and methylhydroxypropyl cellulose; a kit comprising a carbonate or carbonates, an acid or acids, a thickener or thickeners and water in a state where the components produce substantially no carbon dioxide, which enables to produce a carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition comprising carbon dioxide bubbles according to the present invention by mixing the carbonate or carbonates, the acid or acids, the thickener or thickeners and water; a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, the carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition according to the present invention or the carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition obtainable by the kit according to the present invention; and cosmetics comprising the carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition according to the present invention or the carbon dioxide-containing viscous composition obtainable by the kit according to the present invention.
