The disclosure relates to dialkyl carbonates of branched alcohols and their use in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions. The disclosure more particularly relates to dialkyl carbonates in which the alkyl groups are both 2-propyl-1-heptyl groups.

Dialkyl carbonates of branched alcohols and their use

The invention relates to a water-free oil-based composition which is liquid at 20&#xb0; C./normal pressure and which contains

Emollient mixture for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations

The invention is directed to a cosmetic composition which contains at least one poly-&#x3b1;-olefin produced by subjecting at least one primary alcohol to dehydrating polymerization at a temperature of 60&#xb0; C. to 340&#xb0; C. in the presence of acidic alumino layer silicates. The primary alcohol is an alcohol from the group of unsaturated monofunctional alcohols, branched monofunctional alcohols and difunctional alcohols. The poly-&#x3b1;-olefin is a high-spreading oil component which imparts an almost instantaneous and relatively long-lasting feeling of smoothness to the skin and has good dermatological compatibility.

Poly-&#x3b1;-olefin-containing cosmetic composition

A deodorizing composition containing: (a) from about 10 to 30% by weight of a dialkyl carbonate corresponding to formula I: wherein Ris a linear alkyl and/or alkenyl group containing from about 6 to 22 carbon atoms, a 2-ethylhexyl, an isotridecyl, an isostearyl group or a group derived from a polyol containing 2 to 15 carbon atoms and at least two hydroxyl groups; Rhas the same meaning as Ror is an alkyl group containing from about 1 to 5 carbon atoms; and n and m, independently of one another, represent a number up to 100, and (b) an antiperspirant.

Deodorizing preparations

The disclosed invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing at least one branched oligo-&#x3b1;-olefin, characterized in that the side chains at one branch point at least are ethyl, propyl or longer branched alkyl chains, the branched oligo-&#x3b1;-olefin being obtainable by oligomerization of

Cosmetic oligo-&#x3b1;-olefin containing compound

A smooth, dry-feeling, less-greasy, substantially-odorless, ecotoxicologically-safe, wax-based composition with a melting point above 25&#xb0; C., comprising one or more wax components selected from dialkyl carbonates, dialkylene carbonates, and mixtures of two or more thereof; less than 10%, by weight, of water; and (c) optionally, one or more components selected from the group consisting of one or more wax or oil components selected from the group consisting of dialkyl ethers, dialkylene ethers, dicarboxylic acids, hydroxyfatty alcohols, and mixtures of two or more thereof, as well as one or more wax-like lipid components, other than those in previously listed, one or more other oil components, liquid at 20&#xb0; C. and immiscible with water at 25&#xb0; C., other than those previously listed, one or more emulsifiers, one or more zwitterionic, amphoteric, cationic or anionic surfactants, one or more other auxiliaries and/or additives, and one or more physiologically-active components, which compositions are useful in a cosmetic, personal hygiene and/or body-care preparation.

Smooth-feeling wax-based compositions for personal care preparations

The disclosed invention provides wax dispersions with an average particle size of 0.5 to 100 &#x3bc;m containing (a) a wax phase with a melting point above 25&#xb0; C. which contains at least one oil or wax component selected from dialkyl(ene) ethers, dialkyl(ene) carbonates, dicarboxylic acids, hydroxyfatty alcohols, and mixtures thereof and at least one emulsifier, and (b) a water phase. The wax dispersions are particularly useful as a basis for cosmetic preparations and, more particularly, for impregnating and wetting utility and sanitary wipes used for personal hygiene and body care.

Wax dispersions

The invention relates to a glycerol ether mixture which consists essentially of a) at least one Cglycerol monoalkyl ether, b) at least one Cglycerol dialkylether and optionally c) at least one Cglycerol trialkyl ether and/or d) at least one Cfatty alcohol, components a) and b) together making up at least 50% by weight of the glycerol ether mixture and the ratio by weight of component a) to component b) being in the range from 3:1 to 1:2. The invention also relates to a process for producing the glycerol ether mixture and to cosmetic compositions containing the glycerol ether mixture.

Glycerol ether mixture, cosmetic composition containing this mixture and process for its production

The invention relates to alkyl benzoate mixtures, the sum of the C12- and C14-alkyl benzoates being greater than or equal to 85%, in relation to the total sum of the alkyl benzoates. The invention also relates to the use of said alkyl benzoate mixtures in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations, in particular as oil components.

Alkyl benzoate mixtures

The invention relates to hydrocarbon mixtures containing linear C11 and linear C13 hydrocarbons, wherein the sum of the linear C11 and linear C13 hydrocarbons is greater than or equal to 60 wt. % with relation to the sum of the hydrocarbons, and to the use of said mixtures in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations.

Hydrocarbon mixture and use thereof

A fatty acid ester of pentaerythritol, a pentaerythritol oligomer, or mixtures thereof, where the fatty acid has 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and the ester contains less than 0.3% by weight Cfatty acid acyl groups and has a melting point of at least 30&#xb0; C. is provided. A process for the production of a C/Cfatty acid pentaerythritol ester including (A) providing about 1.8 to about 2.2 mol of a fatty acid mixture per mol of pentaerythritol; (B) esterifying component (A) at temperatures ranging from about 180&#xb0; C. to about 250&#xb0; C. in an inert gas atmosphere in the absence of solvent to form a reaction mixture; (C) stirring the reaction mixture in vacuo until it has an acid value of less than 1 and an OH value of 145 to 158 is provided. A cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition including the above-described ester is also provided.

Fatty acid esters, processes for their production and for incorporation into cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical formulations

The present invention relates to the use of one or more esters of 2-hexyldeconal having fatty acids of the general formula (I) R1-COOH, wherein R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in and/or for the production of cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations.
