Abstract: Mixture compositions made of specifically chosen alkyl carboxylates can be used in a process for the preparation of ester compositions. These mixture compositions and ester compositions can be used in cosmetic applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to functionalized polymers, a process for producing functionalized polymers and the use of functionalized polymers, especially in the field of personal care.

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.

Abstract: A functionalized polymer contains monomeric units of general formula (I) In general formula (I), R1 is selected from alkyl radicals and alkenyl radicals, which may be branched or straight chained, and unsubstituted or substituted: and R2 is selected from H and methyl. The monomeric units of general formula (I) make up for at least 90 wt.-% of the total weight of the polymer. The polymer has a polydispersity index PDI of 4.5 to 20. A process for can be used producing the functionalized polymers. The functionalized polymers are useful, especially in the field of personal care.

Abstract: Compositions containing disubstituted terephthalates are useful. The compositions may also contain light protection filter substances, deodorant and/or antiperspirant active ingredients.
