Abstract
The nanoemulsion according to the invention comprises an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, having oil globules with a number-average size less than 100 nm, characterized in that it contains a ternary surfactant system comprising: a) a mixture of at least two nonionic surfactants comprising at least one ethoxylated fatty ester comprising 8 to 100 ethylene oxide units and at least one fatty acid ester of sorbitan; and b) at least one ionic surfactant chosen from alkali metal salts of cetyl phosphate and alkali metal salts of palmitoyl sarcosinate. Use in the manufacture of cosmetic, dermatological and ophthalmological compositions.
