Abstract: The invention relates to ether guanidines of the general formulae (I) and/or salts or hydrates thereof, in which R1=—CH2—CH2—CH2—O—R3 where R3 is, independently of the others, hydrocarbon radicals having greater than or equal to 10 carbon atoms, where part of the ether guanidines has radicals R3 which are branched and part of the ether guanidines has radicals R3 which are unbranched, and R2=independently of the others H or an optionally branched, optionally double-bond-containing hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and use thereof in hair treatment compositions and hair aftertreatment compositions, in particular for preventing damage by chemical treatment compositions and for repairing hair which is already damaged.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polyglycerol partial esters as defoamers, in particular in coating and paint applications, to defoamers comprising polyglycerol partial esters, and to corresponding polyglycerol partial esters.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyglycol ether-free, polyglycerol partial ester-based sulphosuccinates, the preparation thereof, and the use of these in cosmetic formulations and also in cleaning compositions in the industrial and domestic sector and formulations comprising these sulphosuccinates.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions comprising a mixture comprising at least one isostearamide, at least one glycerol ester and water, and also to the use of these compositions as thickeners or shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, body cleaning compositions or skin cleaning compositions or for producing shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, body cleaning compositions or skin cleaning compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyol partial esters, cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations containing the polyol partial esters according to the invention, and to the use of the polyol partial esters according to the invention for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one ether guanidine of the general formula (I) and/or of a salt or hydrate thereof, in which R1?—CH2—CH2—CH2—O—R3, where R3 is a linear or branched hydrocarbon radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and R2?H or an optionally branched hydrocarbon radical which has 1 to 22 C atoms and which optionally comprises double bonds, for reducing the growth of microorganisms, and to cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations comprising at least one ether guanidine of the general formulae (I).
