The invention relates to a decorative cosmetic O/W emulsion having lasting effect which adheres well to the skin, and which can be applied in all branches of decorative cosmetics. It is colour-stable and can contain high proportions of particle-shaped materials, while having very good humidity characteristics. This emulsion contains 0.1-3 %wt of a cationic gel or gel mixture which is then mixed with water, or with powdery components that are used for decorative purposes and are compatible with the gel, and optionally with other active agents, supporting materials or mixtures thereof. When so mixed, the emulsion acquires a positive zeta potential in the +5 to -+45mV range, for a pH value of 3.0 to 8Ø Furthermore, 5-30 %wt of an oil phase is stably dispersed in the aqueous gel phase of the emulsion, without addition of an emulsifier. |
