Abstract: Cosmetic and dermatological emulsions having at least one aqueous phase, comprising (a) an effective amount of one or more interface-active substances, selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucosides, which are characterized by the structural formula  in which R is a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms, (b) where in at least one of the aqueous phases one or more electrolytes is present in dissolved form, the ionic strength of the aqueous phases in which the electrolyte(s) is/are present in dissolved form being at least 0.075 mol/l, (c) and where {overscore (DP)} is an average degree of glucosylation of up to 2.

Abstract: The invention relates to transparent sunscreen gels comprising(a) silicone oil(b) polyoxyalkylene-organpolysiloxanes of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R is an alkyl radical or a hydrogen radical,n=10 to 200,m=1 to 25 ando=1 to 100 with the proviso that, in the average molecule, o.gtoreq.m and 3o<n,p=7 to 17, andthe molar mass of the residue (C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O--).sub.x --(C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O--).sub.y R is from about 250 to about 2000, where x and y are chosen such that the weight ratio of oxyethylene groups to oxypropylene groups is from 100:0 to about 20:80,(c) water,(d) a component chosen from alcohols and/or polyols and(e) at least one UV absorber soluble in the aqueous or in the oily phase.
