The present invention provides a microstructured cosmetic composition comprising:

Microstructured compositions

The use of liposomogenic UV absorbers for protecting human hair from the damaging effect of UV radiation is described. The liposomogenic UV absorbers comprise a hydrophilic head group (=Z), a spacer (=W), a UV chromophore (Q) having an absorption in the range from 285 to 400 nm and at least one hydrophobic tail group (=A). They have the formula ##STR1## in which A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 independently of one another are a hydrophobic radical;

Liposomogenic UV absorbers

There are described bis(resorcinyl)triazines of the formula ##STR1## The compounds according to the invention are particularly suitable as sunscreens in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and veterinary medicinal preparations.

Bis(resorcinyl)triazines useful as sunscreens in cosmetic preparations

A process is provided for the production of compounds having the formula: ##STR1## in which R is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl, cyano or halogen; M is hydrogen or a salt-forming colorless cation; and n is 2;

Process for preparing distyrylbiphenyl compounds

o-Hydroxyphenyl-s-triazines are described which contain at least two alkoxyphenyl substituents. They have the formula (1). The compounds according to the invention are suitable as stabilizers for textile fiber materials, in particular polyester fiber materials, and for organic polymers. Furthermore, they are suitable for use as sunscreens in cosmetic preparations.

o-Hydroxyphenyl-s-triazines

The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that are distinguished by a high degree of selectivity and affinity towards herbicides from the group of the sulfonylureas, especially towards sulfonylurea herbicides of formula (A) ##STR1## wherein X is a mono- or di-substituted 6-membered heterocycle having from one to three nitrogen atoms and bonded via carbon, but is preferably mono- or di-substituted s-triazine or pyrimidine; and

Immunological detection method

A description is given of o-hydroxyphenyl-s-triazines containing at least two alkoxyphenyl-substituents. They have the formula (1). The compounds according to the invention are particularly suitable as sunscreen agents in cosmetic preparations.
