| 1. A cosmetic preparation consisting of a gel, wherein said gel consists of:
from 0.05 to 20 wt. % of at least one superabsorbing polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid polymers and
methacrylic acid polymers;
from 0.1 to 30 wt. % of at least one nonionic film-forming, hair-fixing polymer;
water;
up to 30 wt. % of alcohol; and
at least one cosmetic additive ingredient selected from the group consisting of thickeners, surfactants, perfume oils, opacifiers,
pearly luster-imparting agents, bactericides, fungicides, buffers, tinting agents, hair-care agents and physiologically tolerated
volatile and non-volatile silicone oils;
wherein said gel contains from about 0.2 to 3.0 wt. % of at least one of said thickeners when said at least one of said thickeners
is present in said gel; said gel contains from 0.1 to 15 wt. % of at least one of said surfactants when said at least one
of said surfactants is present in said gel; said gel contains from 0.1 to 0.5 wt. % of at least one of said perfume oils when
said at least one of said perfume oils is present in said gel; said gel contains from about 0.2 to 5.0 wt. % at least one
of said opacifiers when said at least one of said opacifiers is present in said gel; said gel contains from about 1.0 to 10
wt. % of at least one of said pearly luster-imparting agents when said at least one of said pearly luster-imparting agents
is present in said gel; said gel contains from 0.01 to 1.0 wt. % of at least one of said bactericides and fungicides when
said at least one of said bactericides and fungicides is present in said gel; said gel contains from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % of at
least one of said buffers when said at least one of said buffers is present in said gel; said at contains from about 0.1 to
1.0 wt. % of at least one of said tinting agents when said at least one of said tinting agents is present in said gel; and
said gel contains from 0.1 to 5.0 wt. % of at least one of said hair-care agents when said at least one of said hair-care
agents is present in said gel; and said gel contains from 0.05 to 20 wt. % of at least one of said physiologically tolerated
volatile and non-volatile silicone oils when said at least one of said silicone compounds is present in said gel; and
wherein said at least one superabsorbing polyacrylate polymer is present in the form of undissolved, water-swollen gelled
particles with an average particle diameter of from 20 to 2000 μm.
