Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological gel creams of the oil-in-water type, comprising (i) up to 90% by weight of a water phase, (ii) up to 20% by weight of a lipid phase, based on the total weight of the preparations, (iii) up to 5% by weight of one or more emulsifiers, (iv) also comprising up to 5% by weight of one or more ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurates/vinylpyrrolidone copolymers.

Abstract: The present invention concerns antipruritic cosmetic and dermatological preparations that contain one or more O/W emulsifiers, optionally one or more co-emulsifiers, polidocanol and essential oil. Use of the preparation that is the subject of the present invention has been shown to have an immediate and long-lasting antipruritic effect.

Abstract: Cosmetic and dermatological emulsions having at least one aqueous phase, comprising (a) an effective amount of one or more interface-active substances, selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucosides, which are characterized by the structural formula  in which R is a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms, (b) where in at least one of the aqueous phases one or more electrolytes is present in dissolved form, the ionic strength of the aqueous phases in which the electrolyte(s) is/are present in dissolved form being at least 0.075 mol/l, (c) and where {overscore (DP)} is an average degree of glucosylation of up to 2.

Abstract: Use of polysaccharides for increasing the light protection factor of cosmetic or dermatological preparations which comprise at least one customary UV filter substance.
