Abstract: The invention is in the field of cosmetic compositions and relates to highly concentrated microemulsion concentrates with low viscosity, comprising specific surfactants and oils in selected quantitative ratios, which can be readily diluted with water, and also to the use of these dilutions for impregnating textile and paper for cosmetics.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of oil-in-water emulsions for cosmetics and to low-viscosity O/W emulsions with very small-sized oil droplets, to a method for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof for impregnating textiles and paper for cosmetics.

Abstract: A microemulsion with a mean particle diameter of 5-20 nm includes 5-50% by weight of at least one alkyl and/or alkenyl oligoglycoside carboxylic acid salt corresponding to formula (I): R1O[G]pO[(CH2)mCOO?X+]n (I) wherein R1 is an alkyl and/or alkenyl group containing 4-22 carbon atoms, G is a sugar unit containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms, p is a number of 1-10, m is a number of 1-5, n is a number of 1-5 and X represents alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkanolammonium, alkyl ammonium or glucammonium; 5-50% by weight of an oil component; and 0-15% by weight of mono- and/or polyhydric alcohols containing 1-4 carbon atoms, and an article or formulation containing the microemulsion are provided.

Abstract: A nanoemulsion with a mean particle diameter of 20 to 250 nm including 5 to 50% by weight of at least one alkyl and/or alkenyl oligoglycoside carboxylic acid salt corresponding to formula (I): R1O[G]pO[(CH2)mCOO?X+]n wherein R1 is an alkyl and/or alkenyl group containing 4-22 carbon atoms, G is a sugar unit containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms, p is a number of 1-10, m is a number of 1-5, n is a number of 1-5 and X represents alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkanolammonium, alkyl ammonium or glucammonium; 10 to 50% by weight of an oil component; and 0 to 15% by weight of mono- and/or polyhydric alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and an article or formulation containing the nanoemulsion are provided.
