Cosmetic gel comprising a triglyceride oil

A process for skin conditioning or moisturization or for hair conditioning comprising the step of contacting the skin or hair with a composition comprising at least one cosmetic gel comprising multilamellar vesicles dispersed in an aqueous phase, wherein the multilamellar vesicles have the shape of a rotational body comprising two or more concentric lipid double layers, the cosmetic gel comprising:

• a) a surfactant component, comprising at least one vesicle-forming surfactant, which is a surfactant having a HLB value of greater than 6;
• b) an oily phase comprising a triglyceride oil;
• and
• c) an aqueous phase comprising a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol;
• and wherein the multilamellar vesicles have a median particle size d(50) from 50 to 800 nanometers and wherein the particle size distribution is Gaussian and the standard deviation is less than 30% of the median particle size d(50).

• and wherein the multilamellar vesicles have a median particle size d(50) from 50 to 800 nanometers and wherein the particle size distribution is Gaussian and the standard deviation is less than 30% of the median particle size d(50), comprising the steps of:
• a) providing a first phase comprising aqueous phase and the surfactant component;
• b) providing a second phase comprising the oily phase comprising the triglyceride oil and, optionally a co-surfactant;
• c) heating the first phase to a temperature from 20° C. to 60° C.;
• d) introducing the second phase into the first phase while heating to a temperature from 50° C. to 90° C.;
• e) mixing the combined phases;
• and
• f) forming the cosmetic gel.
