Stable water in oil emulsions

A lotion comprising:

• (a) from about 89.5 to about 40 parts by weight of an aqueous solution as a discontinuous phase;
• (b) from about 10 to about 45 parts by weight of a volatile liquid having a normal boiling point of less than 250.degree. C. as a continuous phase, said volatile liquid being selected from the group consisting of organosiloxane fluids having the average unit formula
• (CH.sub.3).sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2 (I)
• (c) from about 0.1 to about 3 parts by weight of an organic oil-in-water surfactant having an HLB value of from 8 to 18 inclusive;
• and
• (d) from about 0.4 to about 20 parts by weight of a polyorganosiloxane polyoxyalkylene copolymer surface active agent of the formula
• MD.sub.x D'.sub.y M (II)
• wherein
• D is R.sub.2 SiO.sub.2/2 where R is hydrogen or methyl, ethyl, vinyl, phenyl, trifluoropropyl or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical of from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms;
• D' is RR'SiO.sub.2/2 where R' is a polyalkylene ether of the formula
• --R.sup.3.sub.a --(OR.sup.2).sub.n --OR.sup.4 (III)
• where R.sup.2 is a --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --group, R.sup.3 is unsubstituted alkylene group of 1 to 20 atoms, R.sup.4 is the same as R, n has a value of from 5 to about 20, and a is 0 or 1;
• M is trimethylsiloxy endcapping units;
• x is from about 335 to about 475;
• and
• y is from about 4 to about 23;
• with the proviso that the molecular weight of polysiloxane units D is from about 25,000 to about 35,000 and the weight ratio of D to D' is from greater than 60/40 to 90/10.
