The present invention relates to a composition suitable as a shampoo or hair conditioner, comprising at least one surfactant, at least one cationic polymer, ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerol esters, trimethylpropane EO/PO trioleate, NaCl and water. The present invention further relates to an intermediate suitable for preparing said composition, comprising ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerol esters and trimethylpropane EO/PO trioleate.

Shampoos and conditioners having a conditioning effect

The invention relates to mixtures of alkyl sulfosuccinate monoesters of general formulas (I) and/or (II), in which R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 6 to 22 C atoms, and X and Y independently represent a hydrogen atom or a cation that can form a water-soluble salt and is selected from among the group composed of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonia, and organic ammonia. The invention is characterized in that the mixture contains 30 to 70 percent by weight of C16 alkyl sulfosuccinate monoester and 30 to 70 percent by weight of C18 alkyl sulfosuccinate monoester, the percentages by weight being in relation to the total amount of alkyl sulfosuccinate monoesters of formulas (I) and (II). The invention also relates to the use of said mixtures in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations. 

Alkyl sulfosuccinate mixtures, and use thereof

An oil and water gel composition is provided containing a polymer gel former of a polymer or copolymer of acrylic acid or acrylamide, a wax component having a melting point of at least 30&#xb0; C. containing esters of pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol and/or tripentaerythritol, and an oil component liquid at 25&#xb0; C. and water.

O/W-gel-compositions having pentaerythritol esters or oligomers thereof

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 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

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

An emulsifier composition including an ester selected from the group consisting of: pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, and mixtures thereof; at least one alkoxylated nonionic emulsifier; and less than 10% by weight water, where partial glycerides may be present in an amount of less than 10% by weight, based on the amount of component (a) present in the composition, is provided. A process for the production of an emulsion, including dispersing the emulsifier composition in an oil phase; heating the emulsifier composition dispersed in the oil phase to a temperature above the phase inversion temperature thereof; heating an aqueous phase to a temperature above the phase inversion temperature thereof; and stirring the oil phase with the aqueous phase and cooling to room temperature is also provided. A cosmetic composition including the emulsifier composition is also provided.

Emulsifier composition based on pentaerythritol esters and alkoxylated nonionic emulsifiers

A composition comprising: (a) from about 0.1 to 60%, by weight, of one or more fatty alcohols; (b) from about 30 to 97%, by weight, of one or more ethoxylated fatty alcohols; (c) from about 0.1 to 20%, by weight, of a component selected from the group consisting of a dialkyl ether, a dialkenyl ether, and mixtures thereof; and (d) less than 5%, by weight, of water, all weights being based on the weight of the composition, which composition is useful as an emulsifier for cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, particularly for forming low-viscosity oil-in-water emulsions.

Emulsifier mixture containing fatty alcohols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols and oil and wax components

A process for enhancing the effectiveness of a sunscreen lotion containing at least one ultraviolet filter involving solubilizing/dispersing the ultraviolet filter in a dialkyl/alkenyl carbonate.
