Cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion

A cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:

• an aqueous phase;
• an oil phase comprising a water-in-oil emulsifier, wherein the water-in-oil emulsifier comprises a polyether modified silicone crosspolymer and the water-in-oil emulsifier is at a concentration, by weight, of about 0.01% to about 6%, based upon weight of the composition, wherein the oil phase further comprises PEG-10 dimethicone, dimethicone, an emollient, propylene carbonate, and an active ingredient;
• and
• an oil stabilizing component including one or both of an amphiphilic compound or a surfactant having an HLB of 13 or greater added to the aqueous phase, wherein the oil stabilizing component is at a concentration, by weight, of about 0.01% to about 1.0%, based upon weight of the composition;
• wherein the oil-in-water emulsion has an increased water load relative to water-in-oil emulsions without having an increased viscosity.
