  • Publication number: 20020090519
    Abstract: Aqueous coating solution having a pH of from 3 to 8, comprising 0.5-5.0% by weight of [SiOx(OH)y]n particles, where 0<y<4 and 0<x<2, having a particle size of from 10 nm to 60 nm with a tolerance of ±10%, and from 0.005 to 0.5% by weight, based on the coating solution, of a surfactant mixture obtainable by hydrolytic polycondensation of tetraalkoxysilanes in an aqueous-alcoholic-ammoniacal medium at temperatures between 35° C. and 80° C., with subsequent removal of ammonia and alcohol from the resultant dispersion by steam distillation and subsequent addition of a surfactant mixture comprising 15-30% by weight of anionic surfactants, 5-15% by weight of nonionic surfactants and less than 5% by weight of amphoteric surfactants.

  • Patent number: 5600007
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of .alpha.-hydroxyketoalkyl derivatives as light protection filters for cosmetic or pharmaceutical products, the .alpha.-hydroxyketoalkyl group being linked, if appropriate via a spacer, to a chromophoric group which has an absorption maximum in a wavelength range of between 280 and 400 nm and has a conjugated .pi.-electron system of at least 8 .pi.-electrons, and to new .alpha.-hydroxyalkyl derivatives, processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations comprising these derivatives as light protection substances.
