Abstract: Hydroxy-substituted sphingolipids are useful as constituents in cosmetic formulations. A method for preparing the sphingolipids involves reacting a lysosphingolipid with a hydroxycarboxylic acid or an intramolecular cyclic ester of a hydroxycarboxylic acid. The sphingolipids can be used for therapy or prophylaxis of cell damage, including skin cell damage and cell damage induced by UV radiation.

Abstract: A composition contains glycolipids and triethyl citrate (TEC). The TEC can assist in stabilizing a foam of a corresponding aqueous composition. A method can be used for preparing a corresponding formulation, preferably a cosmetical or pharmaceutical formulation, by providing the composition and diluting the composition. The pH of the composition may be adjusted during the dilution by adding an organic or inorganic base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a porous polyurethane coatings, using a polyol ester as additives in an aqueous polymer dispersion, the process comprising the steps of a) providing a mixture comprising an aqueous polymer dispersion, a polyol ester, and an additive, b) foaming the mixture to give a homogeneous, fine-cell foam, c) adding at least one thickener to establish the desired viscosity of the wet foam, d) applying a coating of the foamed polymer dispersion to a suitable carrier, e) drying the coating. The invention further relates to a phosphorylated polyol ester.

Abstract: Polyglycerol partial esters based on mono- and dicarboxylic acids are useful, in cosmetics in particular. The polyglycerol partial esters can be produced by esterification of a polyglycerol with a carboxylic acid mixture containing at least one short-chain dicarboxylic acid and at least one long-chain, saturated and linear monocarboxylic acid.
