Peg free stable low viscosity oil-in-water emulsion and use thereof

An oil-in-water emulsion, comprising,

• A) from 0.1 to 6 wt % based in the total weight of the oil-in-water emulsion of a primary emulsifier selected from the group consisting of
• A1) alkyl polyglucosides with alkyl modifications out of the chemical class of linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated fatty alcohols with a chain length of C16 to C18 wherein the alkyl polyglucoside has a glucoside polymerization degree of from 1.0 to 1.7;
• and
• A2) long chained polyglycerol esters with fatty acid moiety out of the chemical class of linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids with a chain length of C16-C22;
• wherein the long chained polyglycerol ester has a glycerin polymerization degree of 5-12;
• wherein the molar ratio of polyglycerol moiety to fatty acid moiety is in the range of 0.3-2.5;
• and
• B) from 0.05 to less than 2.5 wt % based in the total weight of the oil-in-water emulsion of a secondary emulsifier selected from the group consisting of
• B1) short chained polyglycerol esters prepared from linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids with a chain length of C8-C12;
• wherein the short chained polyglycerol ester has a glycerin polymerization degree of 3-5;
• and wherein the molar ratio of polyglycerol moiety to fatty acid moiety is in the range of 0.2-2;
• and
• B2) short chained sorbitan esters prepared from linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids with a chain length of C8-C12;
• wherein the molar ratio of sorbitan moiety to fatty acid moiety is in the range of 0.2-2;
• provided that the emulsion further comprises a thickener with an amount of ≥0.05 wt. %, based on the total weight of the oil-in-water emulsion
• wherein the oil-in-water emulsion does not include C12-C24 alcohol and the viscosity of the oil-in-water emulsion is between 5 mPas and 1200 mPas, with the measurement using Brookfield RVT, SP04, 100 rpm.
