Abstract: The subject of the present disclosure is a process for the preparation and storage of an agent for the treatment of keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: (1) mixing one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxy silanes with water, (2) optionally, partial, or complete removal from the reaction mixture of the C1-C6 alcohols liberated by the reaction in step (1), (3) if necessary, addition of one or more cosmetic ingredients, (4) filling of the preparation into a packaging unit, and (5) storage of the preparation in the packaging unit, wherein at least one of steps (1), (2), (3), (4) and/or (5) is carried out under an atmosphere having a water vapor content of less than about 10 g/m3.

Abstract: The subject of the present application is a process for the preparation of an agent for the treatment of keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: (1) reaction of one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxy silanes with water at a temperature of from about 20 to about 70° C. to give a reaction mixture, (2) complete or partial removal of C1-C6 alcohols released by a reaction in step (1) from the reaction mixture at a temperature of from about 20 to about 70° C., (3) optionally, addition of one or more cosmetic ingredients to the reaction mixture, thereby giving a preparation, and (4) filling the preparation into a packaging unit.

Abstract: The subject of the present application is a method for the preparation and use of an agent for the treatment of keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: (1) Mixing one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxy silanes with water, (2) optionally, partial, or complete removal from the reaction mixture of the C1-C6 alcohols liberated by the reaction in step (1), (3) if necessary, addition of one or more cosmetic ingredients, (4) Filling of the preparation into a packaging unit, (5) Storage of the preparation in the packaging unit for a period of at least about 5 days; and (6) Application of the preparation on the keratinous material.

Abstract: The subject of the present application is a process for the preparation of an agent for the treatment of keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: (1) Mixing one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxy silanes with water, (2) partial or complete removal from the reaction mixture of the C1-C6 alcohols released by the reaction in step (1), (3) optionally addition of one or more cosmetic ingredients, and (4) Filling of the preparation into a packaging unit, exemplified in that the total content of C1-C6 alcohols in the preparation obtained in step (4)—based on the total weight of the preparation—is below about 10.0% by weight.

Abstract: Bar soaps, with improved smoothness and elevated lime soap dispersancy, are distinguished by a reduced content of fatty acid soaps and nevertheless have improved smoothness and elevated lime soap dispersancy together with improved mushiness properties and sufficient hardness simultaneously combined with low abrasion and reduced cracking.
