Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel micronized 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2?-yl)benzene as well as to the use thereof in topical compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising at least one polar oil and a micronized 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2?-yl)benzene having a mean particle size of at most 300 nm as well as to the use of such a micronized 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2?-yl)benzene to reduce the transfer of such oils to surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic composition comprising the UV-filter Bisoctrizole, a C8-C16 alkyl poly-glucoside, a mixture of branched and linear saturated C15-C19, wherein said mixture comprised primarily branched saturated C15-C19, and an specific dialkyl ether or (di)ester. This cosmetic composition shows an increased water resistance of the sun protecting factor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic composition comprising an ester of a fatty acid and dextrin, a mixture of branched and linear saturated C15-C19, wherein said mixture comprised primarily branched saturated C15-C19, and a UV-filter of the formula (I) This cosmetic composition allows a high amount of the UV-filter of the formula (I) to be solubilized which leads to compositions having a very high absorbance of harmful UV light, i.e. to compositions having a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF).

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic composition comprising the UV-filter Octocrylene, a mixture of branched and linear saturated C15-C19, wherein said mixture comprised primarily branched saturated C15-C19, and an specific dialkyl ether or (di)ester. This cosmetic composition shows a reduced stickiness, particular a reduced adherence of sand onto the skin to which a composition comprising the UV-Filter Octocrylene has been applied. This reduction of stickiness is essential to formulate cosmetic compositions having a high sun protection factor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising D-panthenol, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) and hydroxyacetophenone (HAP) in specific weight ratios which show less staining.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising panthenol, hydroxyacetophenone and a micronized UV filter.

Abstract: The present invention relates cosmetic compositions comprising a mixture of 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2?-yl)benzene and a preservative as well as to the use of said mixture as antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic skin care compositions which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and at least one non-ionic emulsifier being an ether or an ester of (poly)ethylene glycol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic skin care compositions which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and an anionic emulsifier. The copolymer is used in a cosmetic composition comprising the anionic emulsifier for reducing the material transfer to a contacted surface. Preferably the copolymer is polyquaternium-110.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2?-yl)benzene as antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising a mixture of erythrulose and a C4-6alkyl glycerine as well as to the use of said mixture for the reduction and/or prevention of microbial growth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising a mixture of phytantriol and a C4-6alkyl glycerine as well as to the use of said mixture for the reduction and/or prevention of microbial growth.
