Abstract: Described is a cosmetic or dermatological agent in the form of a creamy permanent foam or in the form of a stable foamy cream which as a finished foam product is available in an appropriate container and can be dispensed therefrom. Preferred is a degree of foam-up of at least 10% and a density of the total mass of at the most 0.9 g/mL. The incorporated gas or the bubble structure produced remains stably contained in the mass even after storage of at least one week at room temperature (20° C.). The agent can be produced by preparing a liquid, foamable composition which at room temperature (20° C.) has a yield value, and subsequently or at the same time beating or foaming the composition with a gas.

Abstract: The hair treatment composition is free of anionic surfactant, has a pH of from 2 to 7 and includes a combination of 0.5 to 15 percent by weight of a surfactant component A) consisting of at least one water-soluble cationic surfactant and/or at least one water-soluble amphoteric surfactant and 0.05 to 5 percent by weight of a component B) consisting of benzoic acid or its physiologically compatible salts or saccharin or its physiologically compatible salts of saccharin with inorganic bases or a mixture of a physiologically compatible salt of saccharin and a physiologically compatible salt of benzoic acid. A weight ratio of surfactant component A) to component B) is from 2:1 to 1:10. A room-temperature method of making the hair treatment composition is also described. The viscosity of the hair treatment composition can be adjusted without difficulty. It improves the wet and dry combability of hair and reduces the electrostatic charge on dry hair without loading the hair after several applications.
