Abstract: The invention relates to a mixing device for mixing a pulverulent product, which is contained in a film sachet that is soluble in liquid, with said liquid and optionally at least one additional component. The aim of the invention is to accelerate the mixing of pulverulent products, which are packed in film sachets that are soluble in liquid, with a liquid, without the risk of creating dust. This is achieved by a sealable mixing container (2) comprising a receiving chamber (7) for the pulverulent product (9) contained in the film sachet (8), the liquid and the optional additional component. The receiving chamber (7) is equipped with fitted components (6, 6?), which act mechanically on the film sachet (8).

Abstract: Cosmetic skin or hair compositions are provided comprising a combination of (A) a dialkyl carbonate of the formula R1OC(O)OR2 wherein R1 and R2 are a linear or branched C6-22 alkyl group and (B) an aminoalkyl amide of the formula R3CONH(CH2)n—NR4R5 wherein R3CO is a linear C6-22 acyl group, R4 and R5 are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, hydroxyalkyl and aminoalkyl groups containing up to 6 carbon atoms or R4 and R5 together with the N atom form a 5- or 6-membered ring and n is a number from 2 to 6.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair treatment preparation and a method of use thereof. The hair treatment preparation is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and is preferably used for reducing split ends. The hair treatment preparation contains a lipid soluble ester alcohol or ester polyol and a water-soluble compound selected from panthenol, a panthenol derivative, nicotinic acid amide, a sugar, polyvinyl pyrrolidine or mixtures thereof.
