Use of a salicylic acid deriv., salified with a base, as a dispersion agent for oil in an oil-in-water emulsion which is devoid of surfactants. The salicylic acid deriv. is pref. of formula (I). R = alkyl, alkoxy, ester, cycloalkyl, ketoxy or unsatd. chain contg. one or more conjugated double bonds (all contg. 2-22C and opt. substd. by one or more halo, CF3, or OH or COOH (opt. esterified by 1-6C acid or alcohol respectively)); R' = OH or -O-CO-R1; R1 = opt. satd. 1-18C aliphatic chain. (I) is pref. an n-Octanoyl-5-salicylic acid deriv., is situated at the oil/water interface and is present in an amt. of 0.5-10 wt.%. The base used to salify (I) is pref. an amphoteric and organic such as amino acids, pref. lysine and arginine. 10-70 wt.% polar oil such as a ceramide, a pseudoceramide, a glyceroceramide or an essential fatty acid may also be present in an emulsion. |
