Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions in the form of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of a sucrose fatty ester surfactant, characterized in that the topical composition further comprises a phosphate ester co-surfactant. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a phosphate ester surfactant to reduce the viscosity of a topical composition in the form of an O/W emulsion comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of a sucrose fatty ester surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions in the form of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of a polyglyceryl fatty ester surfactant, characterized in that the topical composition further comprises a phosphate ester co-surfactant. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a phosphate ester surfactant to reduce the viscosity of a topical composition in the form of an O/W emulsion comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of a polyglyceryl fatty ester surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition comprising glycerin, microcrystalline cellulose and/or microcrystalline wax and silica beads having a particle size Dv0 of greater 0.3 ?m, a Dv100 of less than 35 ?m, a Dv50 selected in the range of 9 to 15 ?m and an oil absorption capacity selected in the range of 1.2-2.5 cc/g. Furthermore the invention relates to the use of such beads in combination with microcrystalline cellulose and/or microcrystalline wax to ameliorate the short and long-term sensory properties of a topical composition comprising glycerin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition comprising uncoated, highly porous silica beads having a particle size Dv0 of greater 0.3 ?m, a Dv100 of less than 35 ?m, a Dv50 selected in the range of 8 to 15 ?m and an oil absorption capacity selected in the range of 1.2-2.5 cc/g and a metal oxide selected from microfine double coated titanium dioxide and/or microfine coated zinc oxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition comprising a hydrophilic benzimidazole type UVB filter, an organopolysiloxane functionalized with at least one UV-light absorbing group, and highly porous silica and/or highly porous crosslinked polymethylmethacrylate beads having a particle size Dv0 of greater 0.3 ?m, a Dv 100 of less than 35 ?m, a Dv50 selected in the range of 9 to 15 ?m and an oil absorption capacity selected in the range of 1.2-2.5 cc/g. Furthermore the invention relates to the use of such beads to ameliorate the short and long-term sensory properties of a topical composition comprising a hydrophilic benzimidazole type UVB filter and an organopolysiloxane functionalized with at least one UV-light absorbing group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of ascorbyl phosphate and niacinamide to suppress the crystallization of biotin in cosmetic or dermatological compositions. Furthermore, the invention relates to cosmetic or dermatological compositions comprising ascorbyl phosphate, niacinamide, biotin and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an agent with oral activity on the form of a toothpaste, a mouthwash or a mouthwash concentrate containing one or more substances sensitive to oxidation, characterised in that the agent has a water content according to Karl Fischer of 7.5 wt.-% or less.
