Patent ID: 7842301

Claim:
Process for making a wet-skin treatment composition comprising the steps of: i) forming an aqueous phase comprising less than 1% anionic surfactant, water and dispersion stabilizer, wherein said dispersion stabilizer is selected from inorganic dispersion stabilizers selected from clays, silicas and mixtures thereof; organic stabilizers having a molecular weight lower than about 1000 Daltons and capable of forming a network in the aqueous phase that immobilizes a dispersed structured oil phase and wherein said organic stabilizer is selected from the group consisting glycol mono-, di- and triesters having 14 to 22 atoms carbon alone and mixtures thereof; and polymeric stabilizers selected from carbohydrate gums, acrylate-containing homo and co-polymers and mixtures thereof, ii) forming a structured oil phase comprising a liquid oil selected from triglycerides, modified triglycerides, or their mixtures and a structurant present in an amount to yield viscosity of 100 to 5000 poise measured at 1 sec −1 at 25° C. and which structurant forms a stable 3-dimensional network comprising finely divided solid particles having a particle size below about 25 microns, wherein said particles are present in said liquid oil at a temperature below 35° C.; wherein said structurant is trihydroxystearin; iii) directly mixing said structured oil phase and said aqueous phase to form a structured oil-in-water predispersion having weight average droplet size of greater than about 100 microns; iv) passing said structured oil-in-water predispersion through a screen having an opening of up to about 2000 micrometers to make the wet skin treatment composition having oil drops of about 20 to 300 microns in size; wherein the wet-skin composition formed has foaming volume of less than 5 cc when measured by the Solution Shake Test.
