The present invention provides a solid mask and a preparation method thereof. The solid mask includes a hydrophobic substrate layer and a nanofiber layer, the nanofiber layer has a three-dimensional structure and is electro-spun onto the hydrophobic substrate layer through uniaxial electrostatic spinning technology, and the nanofiber layer is prepared by the following food-grade raw materials in parts by mass: 10 to 30 parts of gelatin, 1 to 30 parts of soya bean lecithin and 0.1 to 10 parts of a functional substance. The present invention provides a solid mask, using gelatin and soya bean lecithin as the framework. The nanofiber layer is a three-dimensional laminate made of fibers having a diameter of a few hundred nanometers. The nanofiber layer has a membrane structure similar to the extracellular matrix. The raw materials of the solid mask are all food-grade raw materials or natural extracts.

The invention relates to the use of, and methods of use employing, certain glycolipid compounds as defined in detail below and having preservative or antimicrobial properties, novel compounds of the glycolipid class, and related invention embodiments. The compounds have the formula I ##STR00001##
wherein m is 3 to 5, n is 2 to 5, o is 0 or 1 and p is 3 to 17, with the proviso that the sum m+n+o+p is not less than 14; and
R is a carbohydrate moiety bound via one of its carbon atoms to the binding oxygen,
and/or a physiologically, especially pharmaceutically or nutraceutically or cosmetically, acceptable salt thereof, or an ester thereof,
as such or in the form of a composition,
where the compound may be present in open chain form and/or in the form of a lactone (FIG. 1).
