Abstract: A system (110) for predicting sensory attributes or physico-chemical properties of an oil or a mixture of oils for personal care is proposed. The system (110) comprises at least one communication interface (112) for providing data and at least one processing device (114). The processing device (114) is configured for: —obtaining via the communication interface (112) of at least one physico-chemical property of the oil or the mixture of oils or of at least one sensory attribute and of at least one model relating one or more physico-chemical properties to one or more sensory attributes; —determining at least one sensory attribute of the oil or the mixture of oils based on the obtained physico-chemical properties and the model or determining at least one physico-chemical property of the oil or the mixture of oils based on the obtained sensory attributes and the model; —providing via the communication interface (112) the determined sensory attribute or the determined physico-chemical property.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining performance properties of an oil-containing product for cosmetics, the oil-containing product for cosmetics comprising different oils forming a mixture, the method comprising the steps of: providing to a processing device via an input channel o performance properties for each of the different oils o a measure for the ratio of the different oils in the mixture, o a data driven model and/or a rigorous model determining with a processing device determined performance properties of the oil-containing product for cosmetics comprising the mixture, based on o the data driven model o the performance properties for each of the different oils o the measure for the ratio of the different oils in the mixture, providing via an output channel o the determined performance properties of the oil-containing product for personal care and/or o the measure for the ratio of the different oils in the mixture and/or o a formulation of the mixture, and or o a formulation of the oil-contai

Abstract: Finely divided emulsions, preferably for use in cosmetic preparations can be produced by first producing a microemulsion which contains at least 10-20% by weight of an alkyl(oligo)glycoside of general formula R1O-[G]p wherein R1 represents an alkyl group and/or alkenyl group with 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G represents a sugar with 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p is a number from 1 to 10, and 4-10% of an ester of glycerol with a fatty acid having a chain length of C12-C22 and 5-30% by weight of an oil body and the remainder to 100% by weight being constituted of water and optionally other ingredients, and then diluting said microemulsion with water amounting to 5 to 20 times the volume of the microemulsion at temperatures of 15 to 35° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to cleaning wipes which are characterized in that a water-insoluble substrate is impregnated with an alkylether citrate partial ester.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic preparations containing (a) water-soluble ?-(1,3) glucans, substantially devoid of ?-(1,6) links, and (b) chitosans. The agents are suitable for hair care and personal hygiene and can also be used for sun protection.

Abstract: A process for inhibiting hair breakage and protecting hair from UV light involving contacting hair with a composition containing: (a) a natural oil comprising: (i) from about 0.01 to 5% by weight of a tocopherol; (ii) from about 0.01 to 10% by weight of a sterol; and (iii) optionally, from about 0.001 to 2% by weight of a carotinoid; and (b) up to about 10% by weight of an esterquat.

Abstract: A process for inhibiting hair loss and stimulating hair growth involving contacting hair with a composition containing: (a) a natural oil comprising: (i) from about 0.01 to 5% by weight of a sterol; (ii) from about 0.1 to 90% by weight of an unsaturated fatty acid; and (iii) optionally, at least about 0.3% by weight of a triterpene compound; (b) up to about 10% by weight of an alkyl and/or alkenyl oligoglycoside; and (c) up to about 10% by weight of an esterquat.

Abstract: A process for inhibiting hair breakage involving contacting hair with a composition containing: (a) a natural oil in solid or semisolid form; and (b) a glyceryl dioleate.
