Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-hexanedioic acid esters by esterification of the corresponding di-lactones of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-hexanedioic acid with alcohol, to the novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-hexanedioic acid esters obtainable according to said method, and to the use thereof as a surface-active compound.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mono-and diester of 2,5-di(hydroxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran, to methods for the production thereof by esterification in the presence of tertiary amines or in the presence of enzymatic esterfication catalysts and to the use of said mono-and diester as surface-active compounds, rheology modifiers and emollients. The invention also relates to cosmetic and pharmaceutical agents such as washing, cleaning and dishwashing agents which contain said mono-and diester of 2,5-di(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran.
Abstract:
Mixtures of Guerbet alcohols, their use in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations, as well as cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations comprising mixtures of Guerbet alcohols are described. Particularly Guerbet alcohol mixtures with a melting range, measured by dynamic differential calorimetry (DSC), between -20°C and +70°C, where the width of the melting range comprises at least 30 temperature degrees and the maximum of the melting range is 35 ± 10°C, are suitable as Vaseline substitute. Said mixtures are obtainable for example by reacting a) 55 to 95% by weight of cetylstearyl alcohol, b) 5 to 45% by weight of fatty alcohols with a chain length of 8 to 22 carbon atoms and c) optionally an aliphatic diol with at least 3 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von Dialkylcarbonaten von verzweigten Alkoholen als Dispergiermittel. Diese Dialkylcarbonate sind bevorzugt in kosmetischen und/oder pharmazeutischen Zubereitungen zu verwenden.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a cosmetic composition comprising isosorbide monooleate for depositing isosorbide monooleate on human skin or hair. Furthermore it relates to a process for depositing isosorbide monooleate on human skin or hair, wherein this process comprises contacting human skin or hair with a cosmetic composition comprising isosorbide monooleate and rinsing off the cosmetic composition comprising isosorbide monooleate with water, so that, after rinsing off the cosmetic composition, isosorbide monooleate is left deposited on the human skin or hair.
