The invention relates to the use of creatine, creatinine and/or derivatives thereof and/or their salts in an agent for hardening, strengthening, restructuring or increasing the shine, volume or combability of keratin fibers, particularly of human hair.

Use of agents containing creatine, creatinine and/or their derivatives to fortify and improve the structure of keratinic fibers

The method of hardening, fortifying, restructuring, repairing, increasing volume or stabilizing keratinic fibers, especially human hair, includes providing a keratinic fiber treatment composition containing from 0.05 to 1.0 percent by weight of creatine, a salt of creatine, creatinine and/or a salt of creatinine, bringing the keratinic fiber treatment composition into contact with the keratinic fibers and allowing the keratinic fiber treatment composition to remain in contact with the keratinic fibers for a certain time interval.

Method of treating keratinic fibers with creatine, creatinine and/or their salts to strengthen, restructure, harden and stabilize them

A pearlescent concentrate containing: (a) from 30 to 80% by weight of an alkyl ether sulfatef; (b) from 5 to 20% by weight of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of a betaine, an alkyl and/or alkenyl oligoglycoside, and mixtures thereof; and (c) from 1 to 10% by weight of an (oligo)ethylene glycol mono- and/or difatty acid ester, all weights being based on the total weight of the composition, and wherein the concentrate is polyol-free.

Aqueous pearlescing concentrates

The new active ingredient derivative compounds have the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and are each an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, Y is an unsubstituted or substituted alkylene group, R is an active ingredient group which, prior to ester formation, has at least one OH group and A.sup.- is an anion. A process for making the compounds of formula (I) is described. Hair treatment compositions containing these compounds and methods of treating hair with these hair treatment compositions are also described.

Hydrolytically cleavable active ingredient derivative compounds, hair

The method of skin care includes applying a skin care preparation to the skin of an individual in an amount sufficient to moisturize the skin or to cause a reduction of skin wrinkling and a smoothing of the skin. The skin care preparation has a pH value of 1 to 7 and contains from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of at least one betaine ester of formula (I)

Method of skin care using a skin care preparation containing a betaine

The wax combination for the cosmetic compositions contains from 2 to 70 percent by weight of apple wax; from 5 to 70 percent by weight of orange wax and/or citric wax; and from 10 to 70 percent by weight of jojoba oil. The cosmetic compositions advantageously contain a portion of the wax combination in free form or an effective ingredient complex consisting of capsules, each containing some of the wax combination.
