Method for forming a dispersion comprising drops and associated device

An apparatus for forming a dispersion comprising drops, comprising:

• a circulation duct containing drops of fatty phase in an aqueous phase substantially immiscible with the fatty phase;
• a container for the recovery of a dispersion comprising drops and the aqueous phase;
• a tank containing an aqueous solution comprising at least one salt;
• at least one injection line for injecting the aqueous solution, coupled to the tank, and coming into the circulation duct or at the outlet of the circulation duct, upstream of the container,
• the fatty phase comprises at least one oil and optionally at least one lipophilic gelling agent;
• the aqueous phase, substantially immiscible with the fatty phase, comprises at least water and at least one hydrophilic gelling agent apt to gel in the presence of at least one salt;
• and
• the dispersion being free of carbomer and, optionally, of amodimethicone.

A dispersion comprising drops of fatty phase dispersed in a continuous gelled aqueous phase, wherein:

• the drops having a diameter greater than or equal to 100 μm represent a volume greater than or equal to 60% of the total volume of the dispersed phase and/or at least 60% of the drops have a mean diameter greater than or equal to 100 μm.
• the fatty phase comprises at least one oil and optionally at least one lipophilic gelling agent;
• and
• the gelled continuous aqueous phase comprises at least water, at least one hydrophilic gelling agent gelled by at least one salt,
• the dispersion being free of carbomer and, optionally, of amodimethicone.
