The invention provides a process for preparing sphingolipids, compositions comprising sphingolipids and further components, and for the use of the compositions.

Process for preparing sphingolipids

The subject matter of the invention is a method for producing a formulation containing ceramide, comprising the method steps: A) Melting a mixture containing at least one wax and at least one ceramide, B) Cooling the melted mixture to obtain a solidified melt containing the at least one wax and the at least one ceramide, C) Incorporating the solidified melt into a formulation containing oil. The invention also relates to the solidified melt of the aforementioned mixture.

Method and product for producing formulations containing ceramide

The present invention relates to a cosmetic formulation comprising certain methionyl-methionine stereoisomers and to the use of methionyl-methionine for nail and/or hair treatment.

Methionyl-methionine stereoisomers and use thereof in cosmetics

The present invention relates to methods of producing crosslinked hyaluronic acid microbeads, as well as the produced microbeads, said method comprising the steps of: (a) providing an aqueous alkaline solution comprising hyaluronic acid, or a salt thereof; (b) forming microdroplets having a desired size from the mixed solution of step (a) in an organic or oil phase to form a water in organic or water in oil (VWO) emulsion, wherein the amount of oil phase used is of from 20 to less than 50% by weight based on the sum of oil phase and water; (c) adding a solution comprising a crosslinking agent to the emulsion, whereby the reaction of hyaluronic acid with the crosslinking agent takes place to provide crosslinked hyaluronic acid microbeads; and (d) optionally working up the dispersion of crosslinked hyaluronic acid microbeads obtained in step (c).

Crosslinked hyaluronic acid in emulsion

The invention relates to ether guanidines of the general formulae (I) and/or salts or hydrates thereof, in which R=&#x2014;CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O&#x2014;Rwhere Ris, independently of the others, hydrocarbon radicals having greater than or equal to 10 carbon atoms, where part of the ether guanidines has radicals Rwhich are branched and part of the ether guanidines has radicals Rwhich are unbranched, and R=independently of the others H or an optionally branched, optionally double-bond-containing hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and use thereof in hair treatment compositions and hair aftertreatment compositions, in particular for preventing damage by chemical treatment compositions and for repairing hair which is already damaged.

Hair treatment product and hair after-treatment product containing ether guanidines as active substances, for protecting from damage caused by chemical treatment and for repairing already damaged hair

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a plant extract fromplants, characterized by the process steps process step A) liquid extraction ofrhizomes, process step B) optionally, separation of a curcuminoid-containing solid obtained by precipitation from the extraction mixture obtained in process step A), process step C) removal of solvents present from the extraction mixture obtained in process step A) or B) to obtain a concentrate and process step D) distillation of the concentrate at a pressure of less than 1 bar to give the extract as distillate.
