Abstract: The invention relates to polyglycerol partial esters of polyricinoleic acid and polyfunctional carboxylic acids, obtainable by esterification of a a) polyglycerol mixture with b) at least one polyricinoleic acid and c) at least one di- and/or tricarboxylic acid and optionally d) at least one fatty acid having 6 to 22 carbon atoms by methods known per se, and to the use thereof for producing cosmetic or pharmaceutical emulsions or dispersions.

Abstract: The invention relates to emulsifiers comprising glycerin-modified organopolysiloxanes and to their use for the preparation of extraordinarily stable emulsions and dispersions.

Abstract: Emulsions comprising cationic emulsifiers and optionally coemulsifiers, optionally customary auxiliaries and additives, wherein the cationic emulsifiers used are at least one compound of the general formula (I) in which R1, R2, independently of the other, is at least one radical chosen from the group H, and/or an optionally branched, optionally multiple bond-containing hydrocarbon radical, a hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, carboxyalkyl radical, an aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, amidoalkyl, alkylamidoalkyl radical, a homo- or heterocyclic, optionally substituted aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 60 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 30 carbon atoms, in particular 12 to 18 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the sum of the carbon atoms from R1+R2 is at least 12 and X? is a salt-forming anion or the hydroxyl anion are provided.
