Patent ID: 6936265

Claim:
A water in oil emulsion comprising, (a) a water phase content of at least 80% by weight based on the total weight of the emulsion, (b) a lipid phase wherein the lipid phase comprises at least one lipid selected from the group consisting of isoeicosane, octyl cocoate, neopentyl glycol diheptanoate, propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, dibutyl adipate, isodecyl neopentanoate, dicaprylyl carbonate, dioctylcyclohexane, dihexyl carbonate, dihexyl ether, cycloparaffin, ethoxy diglycol oleate, ethoxy diglycol, butylene glycol caprylate/caprate, octyl isostearate, decylcocoate, dimethyl isosorbide, wherein the at least one lipid comprises at least 50 wt.-% based on the weight of the lipid phase. (c) at least one interface active substance chosen from the group of alkylmethicone copolyols and/or alkyldimeticone copolyols, and (d) optionally, at least one viscosity enhancing polymer selected from the group consisting of modified celluloses, acrylate copolymers, acrylatealkylacrylate copolymers, polyethers, vinyl polymers, polysilicic acids, clay minerals, polycarboxylic acids or salts thereof, polyamides and polyimines.
