Abstract: An agent in foam form for coloring keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair, under induction by atmospheric oxygen and methods for coloring keratin-containing fibers using such agent is provided. In an embodiment, the agent comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at an alkaline pH of 8 to 10.5, (a) as a color-forming component in the form of a dye precursor of a nature-analogous dye an indole and/or indoline derivative, (b) an alkalizing agent, and (c) a propellant, the agent containing no additional oxidizing agent for the color-forming components.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a coloring agent for keratin fibers from a first composition A and a second composition B is provided. The method comprises directing the first composition A from a container A by a filler apparatus through an inlet opening into a second container B containing the second composition B. In container B, as a result of the introduction of composition A and/or the action of the filler apparatus, at least one exit opening is formed out of which the coloring agent for keratin fibers exits from container B as a mixture of compositions A and B.

Abstract: Deodorant or antiperspirant sticks based on an oil-in-water dispersion/emulsion for application on the skin.

Abstract: Cosmetic preparation for keratin fibers, particularly human hair, having two separate phases, namely, an aqueous phase and a hydrophobic phase. The preparations contain at least one chemical oxidizer and at least one hydrophobic carboxylic acid ester and/or paraffin oil. As oxidizing preparations, the agents are used as a developer preparation for oxidation dyes or lighteners.

Abstract: Deodorant or antiperspirant sticks based on an oil-in-water dispersion for application to the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to low residue, water-free antiperspirant sticks with enhanced properties.

Abstract: The present application relates to clear antiperspirant gels in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion.

Abstract: Deodorant or antiperspirant sticks based on an ethanol-containing oil-in-water dispersion/emulsion for application on the skin.

Abstract: Deodorant or antiperspirant sticks based on an oil-in-water dispersion/emulsion for application on the skin.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations are comprised of from 0.01 to 5% by weight of a dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of 8-hexadecene-1,16-dicarboxylic acid decanedioic acid nonanedioic acid and combinations thereof and from 0.01 to 5% by weight of ascorbic acid, salts of ascorbic acid, ascorbic acid derivatives and combinations thereof. These preparations provide skin-lightening and/or hair-lightening preparations which inhibit melanin biosynthesis and do not damage hair and/or skin.

Abstract: A non-therapeutic method for the inhibition of ?-glucuronidase. Body odors result from the decomposition of steroid esters by ?-glucuronidase. Specific ?-glucuronidase-inhibiting compounds are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for promoting probiotic activity on the skin comprises contacting the skin with a probiotic effective amount of a substance having a probiotic effect selected from the group consisting of a plant extract, a glycerol monoalkyl ether, and a fatty acid ester or a combination of the plant extract and the glycerol monoalkyl ether whereby the growth of desired skin microbes is promoted and the growth of undesired skin microbes is inhibited.

Abstract: Deodorant or antiperspirant sticks based on an oil-in-water dispersion for application to the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of selected hydroxydiphenyl ether derivatives as arylsulfatase-inhibiting substances in a cosmetic deodorant or antiperspirant composition for reducing body odor caused by decomposition of steroid esters.

Abstract: A water-free antiperspirant composition is presented which comprises a) at least two particulate polysaccharides and/or polysaccharide derivatives, b) at least one astringent antiperspirant agent and c) at least one lipid component with a melting point of 30 to 150° C. in a liquid carrier material.

Abstract: A non-therapeutic method for the inhibition of &bgr;-glucuronidase. Body odors result from the decomposition of steroid esters by &bgr;-glucuronidase. Specific &bgr;-glucuronidase-inhibiting compounds are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are flexible, fine-pored sponges or foam pads impregnated with liquids. The foam pads are based on a polyurethane foam and may be used for the cosmetic and dermatological treatment of the skin, hair, mucosa and appendages of the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to an administration form for delivering pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic active substances to the skin in homogeneous distribution. The inventive administration form is a flexible active substance-containing film which upon contact with water forms a spreadable solution, dispersion or emulsion on the skin and releases the active substance(s) in a defined dose.
