Use of pectinate copolymers on the basis of acryloyldimethyl taurine acid in cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical agents

Compositions comprise an acryloyldimethyltauric acid copolymer and an anionic, cationic, nonionic or betaine surfactant. Compositions comprise: (a) at least one water-soluble or water-swellable copolymer produced by radical polymerization of acryloyldimethyltauric acid and/or acryloyldimethyltaurates in the presence of at least one component selected from: (i) olefinically unsaturated (non)cationic monomers that contain at least one oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus atom and have a molecular weight below 500; (ii) silicon-containing monomers; (iii) fluorine-containing monomers; (iv) macromonomers with a number-average molecular weight (M n) of at least 200; (v) polymeric additives with a M n of 200 - 1,000,000,000; and (vi) provided that at least one of components (i) - (vi) is heat-sensitive; and (b) at least one synergistic additive selected from anionic, cationic, nonionic and betaine surfactants.
