摘要 |
The present invention provides a nanoemulsion, that includes:an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase; andat least one anionic surfactant selected from the group including phosphoric acid fatty esters and oxyethylenated derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof; whereinthe oily phase includes oil globules having a number-average size of less than 100 nm;wherein the oily phase includes at least one oil having a molecular weight of greater than 400; and wherein a weight ratio of the oily phase to the surfactant ranges from 2 to 10. The invention also provides a process for making the nanoemulsion, and methods for its use. The nanoemulsion is ideally transparent and stable on storage. It can ideally contain large amounts of oil while retaining good transparency and good cosmetic properties. The nanoemulsion is particularly useful in compositions, including topical, pharmaceutical, dermatological, cosmetic, opthalmic, and opthalmologic. The composition is also particularly useful in applications to the skin, hair, scalp, mucous membranes, and eyes.
