Abstract: Cosmetic and dermatological preparations in the form of O/W emulsions, comprising (1) 0.1 up to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more C14-C22-fatty acids, (2) 0.2 up to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more mono- and/or diglycerides of fatty acids, (3) 0.1 up to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more ethoxylated fatty acid esters, where the sum of (1), (2) and (3) is at most 12% by weight, (4) 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more nonpolar lipids, (5) 0.5-7.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more fatty alcohols (6) 0.5-7.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more lipophilic bodying agents having a melting point or dropping point of ≧30° C., (7) 0.

Abstract: Low-viscosity cosmetic or dermatological preparations comprising (I) one or more partially neutralized esters of monoglycerides and/or diglycerides of saturated fatty acids with citric acid, (II) one or more fatty alcohols chosen from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl alcohols having 12 to 40 carbon atoms, (III) a water phase, (IV) from 0 to 10% by weight of a lipid phase, based on the total weight of the preparations, where the weight ratio of the sum of the constituents from (I) and (I): (IV) is chosen from the range from 20:1 to 1:5.
