Abstract: What are described are aqueous wax dispersions based on ethylene glycol fatty acid esters of specific fatty acids that can be used both as opacifiers and for improvement of conditioning action in formulations for haircare.

Abstract: This invention relates to stabilizer concentrates which improve the stability of mono- and/or diesters of mono- and/or diethylene glycol wax dispersions in personal care compositions, wherein the stabilizer concentrates comprising hydrogenated castor oil and betaines and are free of anionic surfactants.

Abstract: The invention relates to biobased waxy esters which in particular in the form of wax dispersions bring about cloudiness and/or pearlescence in cosmetic cleansers. The invention further provides the use of the waxes in cosmetic compositions, the production thereof and the cosmetic compositions themselves.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition suitable for treating hair comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of a branched polylysine and a branched polylysine in which to 80% of the amino groups present in the branched polylysine are derivatized so that they bear one or two substituents, and comprising at least one surfactant. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a branched polylysine in which 1 to 80% of the amino groups present in the branched polylysine are derivatized so that they bear one or two substituents, wherein these substituents are acyl groups having 6 to 24 C-atoms. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a branched polylysine or of the branched polylysine in which amino groups are derivatized or of the said composition for treating hair.
