Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the treatment or prophylaxis of an inflammatory skin condition with cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation which comprises licochalcone A and phenoxyethanol.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment or alleviation of erythema which comprise an aqueous extract of Radix Glycyrrhizae inflatae or licochalcone A and optionally one or more ethoxylated or propoxylated raw materials and/or one or more polyols.

Abstract: A cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation comprising licochalcone A and phenoxyethanol. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations having an effective content of one or more thiazoles of the general formula.

Abstract: Polymer obtainable by radical emulsion polymerization of (A) at least one acidic vinyl monomer or salt thereof; (B) at least one nonionic vinyl monomer, particularly preferably a hydrophobic nonionic vinyl monomer; (C) at least one monomer containing an unsaturated end group and a polyoxyalkylene part; (D) at least one crosslinking monomer; and (E) optionally, a protective colloid, characterized in that the polymerization is controlled such that (F) the gel effect occurs, at least at times, achieved by adding monomers of type (A), (B), and (C) (dosing time) during 120 minutes; and such that (G) the crosslinking monomer (D) is added, at the very earliest, 10 minutes after the first addition of the monomers (A), (B), and (C).

Abstract: A dressing for applying to the skin is characterized in that the adhesive mass is applied discontinuously in a strip or wave and contains an active substance.

Abstract: Disclosed is an emulsifier-free, skin-conditioning, cosmetic or dermatological preparation. The preparation is obtainable by a process which involves, inter alia, the dispersion of one or more polyacrylic acid polymers in water and the mixing of the resultant dispersion with a molten lipid phase without complete homogenization of the phases.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic or dermatological formulation comprising a) at least one polyol in a concentration of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation, and b) at least one diol selected from 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol, in a concentration of from 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations which have a UVA balance of more than 15, and use thereof.

Abstract: A capsule for cosmetic and/or dermatological ingredients and processes for the production thereof. The capsule comprises an envelope which is solid, semisolid and/or dimensionally stable and comprises one or more substances which are selected from waxes, emulsifiers, and natural and synthetic polymers. The capsule may also comprise a filling.

Abstract: A method of repelling wasps, which method comprises using a preparation comprising (a) one or more of ethyl 3-(N-n-butyl-N-acetylamino)propionate, dihydronepetalactone, and extract of catmint, and (b) at least one compound selected from certain perfume ingredients. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: The invention is a cosmetic or dermatological formulation comprising a) at least one polyol in a concentration of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation, and b) at least one diol selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol, in a concentration of from 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation. The invention also includes formulations further comprising at least one antioxidant, and formulations further comprising at least one UV filter. The invention also includes a method of moisturizing skin comprising applying the formulation to the skin. The invention further includes a method for reducing the tacky sensation, a method for reducing the viscosity, and a method for increasing the stability of a polyol-containing formulation comprising adding a diol selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol.

Abstract: A process for producing a cosmetic preparation wherein a cosmetic base, admixed with one or more cosmetic partial preparations or active ingredient concentrates, is mounted, in the package intended for the end user, in a dually asymmetric centrifuge, and is centrifuged in such a way that the cosmetic part preparations or active ingredient concentrates are distributed uniformly in the cosmetic base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clear, cosmetic and dermatological formulation having reduced stickiness, comprising at least one antiperspirant active ingredient and/or deodorant active ingredient, at least one ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid and water.

Abstract: A cosmetic or dermatological preparation based on a W/O emulsion which is present as a plurality of shaped bodies. The shaped bodies are solid, semisolid and/or dimensionally stable at room temperature and comprise one or more of a wax, a lipid, an emulsifier, a natural polymer and a synthetic polymer.
