Abstract: The present invention relates to the increase of water resistance of cosmetic compositions which comprise pigments. This is achieved by the combined use of a mixture of branched and linear saturated C15-C19 alkanes; and an ester of a fatty acid and dextrin.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions are disclosed which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and an oil with a polarity index of either in the range of 50-30 mN/m or in the range of 18-5 mN/m. Material transfer of the cosmetic sun care composition from a skin surface to which the cosmetic sun care composition is applied to another surface contacted by the skin surface is substantially less as compared to an identical cosmetic sun care composition which does not comprise the hyperbranched copolymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic composition comprising UV-filter(s), an ester of a fatty acid and dextrin and a mixture of branched and linear saturated C15-C19, wherein said mixture comprised primarily branched saturated C15-C19 and a specific cellulose derivative.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a specific hyperbranched copolymer (HBC) of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine and the compound 1,3-propandiol and/or N-hydroxyoctanamide. It has been found that said hyperbranched copolymer synergistically enhances the antimicrobial action of a 1,3-propanediol and/or N-hydroxy-octanamide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of reducing material transfer of cosmetic compositions which include at least one liquid dispersion of an acrylic polymer by incorporating into the cosmetic compositions an amount of a hyperbranched copolymer sufficient to reduce material transfer of the cosmetic composition, wherein the hyperbranched copolymer is a copolymerization reaction product of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and at least one liquid dispersion of an acrylic polymer which is a homopolymer or a copolymer of the monomers selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylic esters, (meth)acrylamide and amides of (meth)acrylic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compositions comprising a retinoid mixture of cis and trans isomers of a retinyl ester, particularly retinyl acetate, with a cis/trans ratio of less than 0.03 as well as the use thereof for the treatment, prevention and lessening of the symptoms of diseases and conditions which can be treated with 5-HT2B serotonin receptor antagonists, including but not limited to diseases or conditions selected from migraine headaches, anxiety, ocular hypotension, heart valve disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and MDMA (commonly called “ecstasy”) abuse.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising at least one liquid UV-filter and a nano-sized 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2?-yl)benzene.

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 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 a reduced stickiness, particular a reduced adherence of sand onto the skin to which a composition comprising the UV-Filter Bisoctrizole and C8-C16 alkyl poly-glucoside 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 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).
