1. A non-aqueous pre-emulsion composition, consisting essentially of:
a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-derivative of Vitamin E in an amount between 40% and 60%, by weight, of the pre-emulsion composition; a non-polar ingredient comprising any one or more of polyunsaturated fatty acids, coenzyme Q10 compounds and phytosterols in an amount between 30% and 55%, by weight of the pre-emulsion composition; and one or more additional ingredients selected from among co-surfactants in an amount up to 1%, by weight, of the composition, emulsion stabilizers in an amount up to 1%, by weight, of the composition, preservatives in an amount up to 1%, by weight, of the composition, flavors in an amount up to 1%, by weight, of the composition, pH adjusters in an amount up to 1%, by weight, of the composition, and non-polar solvents that dissolve the non-polar active ingredient and differ therefrom in an amount up to 10%, by weight, of the composition, wherein:
the pre-emulsion composition has a waxy consistency, whereby it is a solid or semi-solid at room temperature;not more than 1%, by weight, of the composition comprises hydrophilic ingredient(s), and the composition is a non-aqueous composition;the non-polar ingredient(s) is/are the active ingredient in the composition; andall the ingredients, including the non-polar ingredient, the PEG-derivative of Vitamin E, and the additional ingredients, are 100%, by weight, of the composition. |
