from about 5.0 to 70.0 percent by weight water;
from about 0.1 to 3.0 percent by weight of an electrolyte;
from about 1.0 to about 20.0 percent by weight of a cycolmethicone and dimethicone copolyol compound;
from about 0.5 to about 10.0 percent by weight of a polygleyceryl-4 oleate and peg-8 propylene glycol cocoate compound;
