Abstract: The invention relates to an aluminum salt-free, antiperspirant, deodorizing, cosmetic and/or dermatological composition comprising at least one antiperspirant active ingredient, wherein the antiperspirant active ingredient is selected from the group of ionic liquids.

Abstract: A composition for topical application to the skin, comprising at least one humectant, at least one consistency regulator, and at least one emulsifier, wherein the emulsifier includes a fatty acid esterified with a hydroxyl group, wherein the fatty acid has at least one carbon chain of 18 or fewer carbon atoms. The emulsifier can include ethers, polymers, amides, amines, or sulfates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological and/or pharmaceutical composition for the topical use and application of oligonucleotides, in particular antisense-oligonucleotides such as DNAzyme, siRNSs, asDNAs or ribozymes for use as an agent against inflammatory diseases by means of emulsions having a dispersed, internal, discontinous aqueous phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiple emulsion for the application of at least one pharmaceutical or cosmetic active ingredient which has an external water phase W1, an oil phase O dispersed in the external water phase W1 and an internal water phase W2 dispersed in the oil phase O, where, in the internal water phase W2, at least one electrolyte selected from the group of the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal halides and sulphates and at least one hydrophilic active ingredient is provided. In order to achieve a high stability of the emulsion, the invention envisages that the external water phase comprises a hydrophilic emulsifier which is a polymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, and that the oil phase O is formed by triacylglycerides and has a lipophilic emulsifier from the group of dimethicones.

Abstract: A device for double-sided processing of flat workpieces has upper and lower working discs forming between them a working gap containing a carrier disc with cutout(s) for workpiece(s), the carrier disc having circumferential teeth by means of which it rolls on an inner and an outer gear wheel or pin ring, wherein the gear wheels or pin rings have a multiplicity of gear or pin arrangements which engage the teeth of the carrier discs during rolling, at least one of the pin arrangements having a guide which delimits movement of the margin of the carrier disc in at least one axial direction, the guide formed by a circumferential shoulder or a circumferential groove.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for machining by grinding or polishing of very thin work pieces which are releasably fastened each to thin carriers. The work pieces are arranged together with the carriers in the recesses of at least on rotor disc of a double sided processing machine and are moved along cycloid paths between the working surfaces of the double sided processing machine. Thereby, the removal rate on the working surfaces of the double sided processing machine is either the same or the removal rate on a working surface is substantially less than the one on the opposing working surface, or on one of the working surfaces no material removal takes place. In one embodiment two work pieces are on carrier, that is, releasably fastened on upper and lower side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an extract from ivy leaves which includes the active ingredient hederacoside C and ?-hederin, and to extracts prepared by this process. According to this there is initially provision of a first, ?-hederin-rich extract and subsequently provision of a second, hederacoside C-rich extract. In a last step, the two extracts are blended to give an extract which has an adjusted hederacoside C content and an adjusted ?-hederin content.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a pharmaceutically activeagent; water; a polyethylene glycol or a poloxamer; and a polyethylene glycol mono- or di-ether. Preferably the pharmaceutically active agent is an anti-fungal or anti-mycotic agent. Preferably the pharmaceutically active agent is lipophilic and/or keratinophilic. The present invention also relates to the use of the formulation in treating diseases, disorders or pathological conditions of the nail or skin, such as onychomycosis, dermatomycosis and other mycoses. The present invention also relates to a method of administering a pharmaceutically active agent to a subject by applying the formulation comprising the pharmaceutically active agent to a nail or skin of the subject. The present invention further relates to a method of preparing the formulation.

Abstract: A process for producing an extract of ivy leaves using an extracting agent, with the extract comprising ?-hederin. In this process, a quantity of dried ivy leaves is first of all comminuted, then fermented by adding water and subsequently extracted by adding the extracting agent; finally, the extract is dried.

Abstract: An insect-repelling agent contains N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) based on alcohol solutions as the active ingredient (repellent), and further contains an adjuvant that extends the period of effectiveness of DEET following application to human skin. It is proposed that the sole adjuvant is glycerol in an amount of more than 10 percent by weight of the insect-repelling.
