Abstract: The invention relates to oil-in-water emulsions containing 4-hydroxyacetophenone and anionic emulsifiers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodispersion, comprising thickeners, waxes, and oils. The waxes and the overall preparation have specific melting ranges that ensure a pleasant, sensorily light profile and good care effects.

Abstract: The invention comprises dermatological or cosmetic preparations comprising a triple combination of anionic polymer and two rheology modifying polymers which increase the viscosity of the preparation by at least 200% at a high shear rate and do not increase the viscosity at a low shear rate by more than 50%, thus imparting an improved sensory richness during spreading, in comparison to preparations without this combination.

Abstract: The invention is a light protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation, comprising (a) PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate, (b) 2-ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate, (c) at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative and (d) at least 2% by weight of titanium dioxide particles, based on the total weight of the preparation, and is free from water-soluble UV-A filter substances.

Abstract: Light protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation, characterized in that it comprises (a) PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate, (b) 2-ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate, (c) at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative and (d) at least 2% by weight of titanium dioxide particles (based on the total weight of the preparation), the preparation being free from water-soluble UV-A filter substances.

Abstract: Light protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation, characterized in that it comprises (a) PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate, (b) at least one ester of cinnamic acid, (c) at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative and (d) at least 1.5% by weight of titanium dioxide particles (based on the total weight of the preparation).

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological light protection formulations in the form of W/O emulsions, comprising(a) one or more light protection filter substances which are solid under normal conditions and(b) one or more W/O emulsifiers chosen from the group of substances of the general structural formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 independently of one another are chosen from the group which consists of: H, branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated fatty acid radicals having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, in which up to 3 aliphatic hydrogen atoms may be substituted by hydroxyl groups, and n is a number from 2 to 8.

Abstract: Water-resistant cosmetic or dermatological light protection formulations in the form of O/W emulsions or hydrodispersions, comprisingone or more cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable hydrophobic inorganic pigments, these pigments being incorporated into the oily phase of the emulsions or hydrodispersions,one or more cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable oil-soluble UV filter substances,one or more film-forming agentsand furthermore, comprising, if appropriate,one or more cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable water-soluble UV filter substancesone or more substances chosen from the group consisting of the customary cosmetic or dermatological active compounds, auxiliaries and/or additivesin a customary cosmetic or pharmaceutical carrier.
