A consumer product which is a cosmetic composition for treating keratinous tissue, comprising a micro-scale heterogeneous emulsion, the micro-scale heterogeneous emulsion comprising:
- at least a first internal phase and a second internal phase each dispersed as droplets in an aqueous external phase, wherein
- the droplets of the first internal phase comprise at least one of silicone oils, hydrocarbon oils, ester oils, amide oils, ether oils, or combinations thereof;
- the droplets of the second internal phase comprise a core at least of a non-aqueous polar solvent and a membrane at least of a silicone oil;
- the droplets of the first internal phase and the droplets of the second internal phase are each stabilized within the external phase, are separate from each other, and the droplets do not substantially exhibit droplet coalescence;
- the second internal phase differs at least in part from the first internal phase in chemical makeup;
- and
- the droplets of the first internal phase have an overall size of 0.5 microns to 100 microns.
