Abstract: A cosmetic or pharmaceutical oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion including an oil phase and a water phase, where at least 40% by weight of the oil phase is a wax component or a mixture of wax components is provided. A cosmetic or pharmaceutical oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion including 15% to 35% by weight of an oil phase which contains 40% to 70% by weight of a mixture of wax components comprising at least one C16-24 fatty alcohol and at least one wax ester of a C12-24 fatty alcohol and a C12-24 fatty acid; 0.5% to 5% by weight of a nonionic alk(en)yl oligoglycoside surfactant; and 50% to 80% by weight water is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to emulsion bases containing (a) polyol poly-12-polyhydroxystearates, (b) polyol esters selected from the group consisting of sorbitan esters, oligoglycerol esters and partial glycerides, (c) citric acid esters, (d) waxes and (e) metal soaps. The emulsion bases are distinguished by the fact that they enable both stable creams and lotions to be produced, irrespective of the polarity of the oils combined therewith.

Abstract: The invention concerns pearly luster concentrates in the form of an aqueous dispersion having between 10 and 40 wt % pearly luster-forming components and between 15 and 55 wt % emulsifiers. The concentrates contain as emulsifiers alkylpolyglycosides of general formula (I), RO—(Z)x, in which R stands for a C6 to C22 alkyl group, Z stands for a mono or oligosaccharide, x is a number from 1.1 to 5, or their addition products with 1 to 10 molecules ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide. The concentrates are characterized by a Newtonian flow behaviour when they are free of emulsifiers with —COO—and —OSO3 —groups, such that these concentrates are considerably easier to handle.
