Claims5
An oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
- (1) an oil phase comprising:
- (a) from about 1.6% to about 3% of an emulsifying surfactant composition having:
- (i) from about 1.3% to about 2% of one or more first surfactant(s) selected from the group consisting of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (ii) from about 0.3% to about 1.0% of one or more second surfactant(s) selected from the group consisting of sorbitan oleate, lecithin, sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan isostearate, sorbitan stearate, oleth-2, sorbitan sesquioleate, and mixtures thereof;
- wherein the ratio of the one or more first surfactant(s) to the one or more second surfactant(s) is between about 2:1 to about 4:1;
- and
- (b) from about 0.01% to about 1% of one or more non-silicone fatty compound(s);
- and
- (2) an aqueous phase comprising:
- (c) from about 3.4% to about 7.4% of one or more amphoteric surfactant(s) selected from the group consisting of coco betaine, cocoamidopropyl betaine, lauryl betaine, laurylhydroxy sulfobetaine, lauryldimethylbetaine, behenyl betaine, capryl/capramidopropyl betaine, stearyl betaine, and mixtures thereof;
- (d) from about 1.3% to about 2.7% of one or more sulfate-free anionic surfactant(s) selected from the group consisting of lauryl sulfoacetate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfocacetate, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, and mixtures thereof;
- (e) from about 0.05% to about 0.6% of one or more cationic surfactant(s);
- and
- (f) from about 60% to about 95% water;
- said emulsion having a viscosity from about 10 cP to about 30 cP;
- wherein all weights are relative to the total weight of the emulsion.
