Abstract: Cosmetic preparations, in particular shampoos, are described which comprise oxiconazole nitrate as antidandruff agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to monoalkyl phosphoric esters, dialkyl phosphoric esters, and, in small amounts, trialkyl phosphoric esters or salts thereof, which are preferably based on &bgr;-branched fatty alcohols, particularly Guerbet alcohol, which are effective in lowering the surface tension of both polar and also nonpolar liquids, and which have high stability, even at elevated temperatures, and low sensitivity to electrolytes and acids. The invention further relates to the use of such mixtures as emulsifiers in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, and to the resulting products.

Abstract: Cosmetic preparations comprising the zinc salt of 1-hydroxy-4-ethyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2(1H)pyridone (Zn-Octopirox).

Abstract: Cosmetic preparations, in particular shampoos, are described which comprise oxiconazole nitrate as antidandruff agent.

Abstract: This type of foods, in particular margarine, comprises, as emulsifier, reaction products of sorbitol with triglycerides.

Abstract: The invention relates to alkyl phosphates, in particular their mixtures, of the formula in which R is C12-C22-alkyl, preferably C14-C18-alkyl, X is a group of the formulae NH3R1, NH2R2R3 or NHR4R5R6, Y is as defined for R or is as defined for X, and R1 is C8-C22-alkyl, R2 and R3 are C1-C22-alkyl or cyclohexyl, and R4, R5 and R6 are C1-C4-alkyl. These compounds, in particular the mixtures of mono- and diesters, are suitable as emulsifiers in the preparation of aqueous emulsions.

Abstract: Cosmetic preparations comprising the zinc salt of 1-hydroxy-4-ethyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2(1H)pyridone (Zn-Octopirox).

Abstract: The invention relates to surfactant-containing formulations which comprise, as surfactant, an N-(3-dialkylamino)propyl-N-polyhydroxyalkylcarboxamide of the formula where R is an aliphatic radical having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, R1 and R2, which are identical or different, are alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl groups having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and Z is a linear polyhydroxyhydrocarbon radical having at least 3 OH groups, which may also be alkoxylated, and also to their acid addition products. The surfactant-containing formulations are used in industrial and standard household surfactant compositions.

Abstract: Oral and dental care compositions comprising sorbitol esters obtained by transesterification of optionally oxalkylated sorbitol with fatty acid methyl esters or fatty acid triglycerides and optionally oxalkylation of the reaction products obtained by transesterification with fatty acid methyl esters.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of compounds of the formula 1 as thickeners for liquid, aqueous surfactant systems where R is an aliphatic radical having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, R1 and R2, which are identical or different, are alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl groups having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and Z is a linear polyhydroxyhydrocarbon radical having at least 3 OH groups, which may also be alkoxylated, and also their acid addition products. The thickeners are used in industrial and standard household surfactant compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to mixtures of long-chain alkyl phosphates of the formula ##STR1## in which R is a mixture of C.sub.12 -C.sub.22, preferably C.sub.14 -C.sub.20, straight-chain alkyl radicals and C.sub.12 -C.sub.22, preferably C.sub.14 -C.sub.20, .beta.-branched alkyl radicals, and X and Y are identical or different and are hydrogen, alkali metal or an equivalent of an alkaline earth metal, ammonium, mono-, di- or tri-alkylammonium or an organic base, or X and/or Y are as defined under R. These esters are suitable as emulsifiers, in particular for oil-in-water emulsions of a cosmetic pharmaceutical nature.

Abstract: The invention provides a flowable pearly luster concentrate comprising 5-30% of behenic acid formulated in an aqueous dispersion comprising 1-50% of C.sub.12 -- to C.sub.14 -- ether sulfates or acylisethionates and, if desired, from 0.1 to 10% of polyhydric alcohols. The composition according to the invention can be used in liquid surfactant formulations.
