Abstract: The present invention refers to a particulate pharmaceutical or nutraceutical excipient, a process for the preparation of the particulate pharmaceutical or nutraceutical excipient, a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical composition comprising the particulate pharmaceutical or nutraceutical excipient as well as a process for manufacturing a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a mineral blend as cosmetic agent for a wet cosmetic composition, wherein the mineral blend comprises a first component being selected from natural ground calcium carbonate and/or precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, as well as to a wet cosmetic composition comprising said mineral blend.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of a calcium carbonate-based composition as an anticaking agent, wherein the calcium carbonate-based composition comprises a first component being a natural ground calcium carbonate or a precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural ground calcium carbonate or precipitated calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and at least one H3O+ ion donor, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the at least one H3O+ ion donor treatment and/or is supplied from an external source. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a particulate composition comprising such an anticaking agent, and to a method for producing such a particulate composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry cosmetic and/or skin care composition, a process for preparing a dry cosmetic and/or skin care composition, the use of a dry composition as a cosmetic and/or skin care composition, and the use of a mixture comprising a first component and a second component as a replacement for talc or a talc-containing material in a dry cosmetic and/or skin care composition.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a particulate pharmaceutical or nutraceutical excipient, a process for the preparation of the particulate pharmaceutical or nutraceutical excipient, a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical composition comprising the particulate pharmaceutical or nutraceutical excipient as well as a process for manufacturing a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical composition.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a barometric cell may include coupling the barometric cell to a control device via an actuating rod. The actuating rod may be movably mounted on a charging device in any desired position. The method may include applying a freely selectable pressure to the barometric cell so as to bring the actuating rod into contact with a stop, adjusting the barometric cell until a sensor registers a predefined value, and fixing the barometric cell on the charging device.
