The invention relates to biobased waxy esters which in particular in the form of wax dispersions bring about cloudiness and/or pearlescence in cosmetic cleansers. The invention further provides the use of the waxes in cosmetic compositions, the production thereof and the cosmetic compositions themselves.

Biobased pearlescent waxes

This invention relates to stabilizer concentrates which improve the stability of mono- and/or diesters of mono- and/or diethylene glycol wax dispersions in personal care compositions, wherein the stabilizer concentrates comprising hydrogenated castor oil and betaines and are free of anionic surfactants.

Stabilizer concentrates for wax dispersions

What are described are aqueous wax dispersions based on ethylene glycol fatty acid esters of specific fatty acids that can be used both as opacifiers and for improvement of conditioning action in formulations for haircare.
