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

Continuous reductive dehydroxymethylation process for the preparation of alkanes from primary aliphatic alcohols, having 3 to 25 carbon atoms, in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst in a reactor at a pressure of ≥2 bar, characterized in that the dehydroxymethylation takes place in the vapor phase.

Continuous process for the production of alkanes

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 hydrocarbon mixture that contains at least two hydrocarbons that are different from each other, the number of carbons thereof differing by more than one, wherein said two hydrocarbons that differ from each other make up at least 60% by weight, preferably at least 70% by weight of the total of the hydrocarbons. The invention also relates to the use of said hydrocarbon mixtures and to cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations containing said hydrocarbon mixtures.

Hydrocarbon mixtures and use thereof

Disclosed is the use of the compounds (A) corresponding to formula wherein

Solublizing agents for UV filters in cosmetic formulations

The present invention relates to a composition comprising isosorbide monooleate, a first surfactant selected from the group consisting of an alkyl glycoside having a weight average of the number of C-atoms in the alkyl chain of more than 11, cocoamidopropyl betaine and mixtures thereof, a second surfactant which is an alkyl glycoside having a weight average of the number of C-atoms in the alkyl chain of less than 11 and water. Furthermore it relates to a process for making this composition and to a cosmetic formulation, comprising this composition.

Composition comprising isosorbide monooleate

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a compound of the formula (I) with a specific definition of the substituent R a mixture and also a corresponding application/use.

Method for producing glyceric acid carbonate

A cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition is provided. The composition contains a mixture of oils prepared by Kolbe electrolysis of branched chain fatty acids and mixtures of branched chain fatty acids with straight chain fatty acids. The fatty acids containing from 3 to 26 carbon atoms. The oils are a mixture of oils with different spreading rates (spreading cascade).

Emollients and cosmetic compositions based on specific branched hydrocarbons

A process is provided for the production of linear saturated alkanes from one or more primary alcohols, wherein the carbon chain of the one or more primary alcohols has one carbon atom more than the alkane, including conducting reductive dehydroxymethylation of one or more primary fatty alcohols containing 8 to 24 carbon atoms, at a temperature ranging from 100 to 300&#xb0; C. and pressures from 1 to 250 bar in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst, and removing water formed during the reaction.

Method for producing hydrocarbons

Mixtures of Guerbet alcohols, their use in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations, and also cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations comprising mixtures of Guerbet alcohols are described. Of suitability as petroleum jelly substitute are in particular Guerbet alcohol mixtures with a melting range, measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), between &#x2212;20&#xb0; C. and +70&#xb0; C., where the width of the melting range comprises at least 30 temperature degrees and the maximum of the melting range is 35&#xb1;10&#xb0; C. These are obtainable for example by reacting

Guerbet alcohol mixtures and uses thereof

Esters of 2-propylheptanol with linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C-Ccarboxylic acids and C-Cdicarboxylic acids, compositions comprising these esters, and to the use of esters of 2-propylheptanol with linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C-C-carboxylic acids and/or C-C-dicarboxylic acids in cosmetic and/or topical pharmaceutical preparations.

Cosmetic compositions containing esters based on 2-propylheptanol

The invention relates to a method for producing compositions containing unsaturated compounds, wherein (A) one or more unsaturated monocarboxylic acids having 10 to 24 C-atoms or esters of said monocarboxylic acids and optionally (B) one or more compounds having at least one C&#x2550;C double bond (wherein the compounds (B) are different from the compounds (A)) are subjected to a tandem isomerization/metathesis reaction sequence in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a ruthenium catalyst, providing that the palladium catalysts used are compounds that contain at least one structural element Pd&#x2014;P(RRR), wherein the radicals Rto R, independently of one another, each comprise 2 to 10 C-atoms, which may be aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or heterocyclic respectively, providing that at least one of the radicals Rto Rcontains a beta-hydrogen, wherein the palladium catalyst is used as such or is produced in situ, providing that the method is carried out in the absence of substances that have a pKa value of 3 or less.

Method for producing unsaturated compounds

The invention relates to the use of esters of 2-ethylbutanol with C-dicarboxylic acids or C-dicarboxylic acids in cosmetics and/or pharmaceutical preparations. The compounds are characterized by a particularly light feeling.
