Abstract: The invention relates to the use of film-forming cationic biopolymers for improving the dermatological compatibility of manual dishwashing detergents. Chitosan or chitosan derivatives are preferably used for this purpose, preferably in the absence of anionic surfactants.

Abstract: A method for treating fibers, yarns or textiles to improve the sensory effect for a user or weaver of a fabric article. The method treats the fiber, yarns or textiles with an emulsion containing 15-30% by weight of a mixture of waxes having melting points in the range of 35° C. to 60° C. including a lipophilic wax matrix; 10%-20% by weight of emulsifier which are at least one of alkyl or alkenyl oligoglycosides or alkyl ether sulfates, 1%-10% by weight of a crystal regulator which can be partial esters of C12-22 fatty acids with at least one of glycerol, polyglycerol and sorbitan. The mean particle size of the wax crystals is not greater than 6 ?m. The emulsion includes water and auxiliaries and additives.

Abstract: A deodorizing composition containing an ingredient selected from the group consisting of a nanoscale chitosan having a particle diameter of from about 1 to 300 nm, a nanoscale chitosan derivative having a particle diameter of from about 1 to 300 nm, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of liposomes, particularly liposomes based on soybean oil lecithins, for finishing textiles and fibers, a key aspect of the invention being that, besides a fiber-care effect, skin-friendly substances are transferred by liposome-finished fibers or textiles to the skin from those fibers or textiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel deodorizing preparations that contain nanoscale chitosans and/or chitosan derivatives.

Abstract: A deodorant composition containing: (a) a cationic biopolymer; (b) an aluminum chlorohydrate; and (c) an esterase inhibitor.
