Abstract: The invention relates to microencapsulated colorant granules consisting of a core (A) and a shell (B), whereby the core (A) has a diameter of between 1 and 1000 micrometer and comprises a) a colorant (I), b) microcrystalline cellulose, c) a polyol; and whereby the shell (B) has a thickness of between 1 to 500 micrometer and comprises d) a polymer selected from the group consisting of polycarboxylic acids, vinyl polymers, styrene-(meth)acrylic copolymers, cellulose and cellulose derivatives. The invention further relates to cleansing compositions, such as hand soaps, containing said microencapsulated colorant granules.

Abstract: Cosmetic, pharmaceutical or dermatological preparations are described which comprise one or more homopolymer and/or copolymer waxes of the monomers ethylene and/or propylene. The homopolymer and copolymer waxes have a weight-average molecular weight Mw of less than or equal to 25 000 g/mol, a number-average molecular weight Mn of less than or equal to 15 000 g/mol, a molar mass distribution Mw/Mn in the range from 1.5 to 10 and have been obtained by metallocene catalysis. The copolymer waxes comprise, based on the total weight of the copolymer waxes, 0.1 to 30.0% by weight of structural units originating from the one monomer and 70.0 to 99.9% by weight of structural units originating from the other monomer.

Abstract: Cosmetic, pharmaceutical and dermatological preparations are described which contain copolymer waxes. The copolymer waxes contain structural units which are derived from ?-olefins having 26 to 60 carbon atoms, from maleic anhydride, maleic acid or salts thereof and optionally from further monomers.

Abstract: Cosmetic, pharmaceutical and dermatological preparations are described which contain copolymer waxes. The copolymer waxes contain structural units which are formally derived from ?-olefins having 26 to 60 carbon atoms, derivatives of (meth)acrylic acid such as esters, amides or salts and optionally further monomers.
