Cosmetic applicators which contain stable oil-in-water emulsions

An oil-in-water emulsion composition comprising:

• A. an oil phase comprising from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion ofan oil-soluble moisturizer, wherein the oil-soluble moisturizer has a mean particle size ranging from about 0.5 to about 7 microns;
• and
• B. an aqueous phase;
• wherein the oil-in-water emulsion composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion composition of a surfactant and from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion composition of a particulate selected from the group consisting of triclosan, triclocarban and zinc pyrithione, and wherein the oil-in-water emulsion composition has a viscosity in the range of from about 1 to about 500 centipoise, and further wherein the oil-in-water emulsion composition is substantially free of alcohol.
