Process for the production of alkyl sulfate pastes having improved flow

Alkaline earth salts of vicinally hydroxy, alkoxy-substituted C.sub.16 -C.sub.22 fatty acids corresponding to the following general formula ##STR1## in which R represents linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl groups or hydroxyalkyl groups optionally alkylated with a C.sub.16 -C.sub.22 fatty acid, process for their preparation, and their use as catalysts. These salts give a narrow homolog distribution of the polyalkoxylation products in the catalysis of the polyalkoxylation of compounds containing active hydrogen atoms.

Hair dye preparation

Cosmetic emulsions of the oil-in-water type which are pourable at 20.degree. C. contain as an oil component dialkyl ethers corresponding to the formula R.sup.1 --O--R.sup.2, in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another represent a linear or single-branch C.sub.6-22 alkyl. Even a content of only 0.5 to 5% by weight of dialkyl ethers can considerably reduce the viscosity of the emulsions. Preferred emulsions contain from 1 to 30% by weight of discontinuous lipophilic phase and from 70 to 99% by weight of continuous aqueous phase.

Quaternary ammonium compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR1## are produced by esterification of ether amines corresponding to the formula ##STR2## with a fatty acid of the formula R.sup.2 --COOH and quaternization of the product obtained with an alkyl halide or a dialkyl sulfate. They are suitable for use as conditioning and revitalizing agents in hair-cosmetic preparations.

Quaternary ammonium compounds

A highly effective surfactant mixture which is liquid at room temperature comprising:

Liquid surfactant mixtures

Detergents for low laundering temperatures

Cosmetic compositions for hair care and aftertreatment include a surface-active quaternary ammonium compound of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 -alkyl; R.sup.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, benzyl, or --(C.sub.n H.sub.2n O)z; n is 2 or 3; x, y, and z are 1-20; and A is an anion; as hair revitalizing agents with particularly good emulsifying properties. In one embodiment, the compositions are in the form of oil-in-water emulsions useful as hair rinses and contain from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the quaternary ammonium compound and from 0.2 to 10% by weight of a water-insoluble oil or fatty component, especially a C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty alcohol, a mono- and/or diglyceride of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty acid, or a paraffin wax.

Hair care and aftertreatment preparations

Aqueous hair treatment preparations containing as anionic surfactant an alkylether sulfonate corresponding to the following formula

Block polymers usable as defoamers have the following formula ##STR1## in which R represents a glycerol or polyglycerol function having a degree of polymerization x of from 1 to 6 and the indices y is equal to (x-z+2), z is equal to (x-y+2), a is equal to 1 to 15, b is equal to 50 to 200 c is equal to 1 to 15, d is equal to 20 to 150 and e is equal to 1 to 15, with the proviso that the sums (a+c+e) is equal to 2 to 20, (b+d) is equal to 50 to 250 and (c+e) is equal to 1 to 15, and y has a value of at least 1. The block polymers are prepared by reaction of glycerol or polyglycerol having a degree of polymerization x with ethylene oxide, then with propylene oxide and, finally, again with ethylene oxide, preferably in the presence of alkaline etherification catalysts.
