Oil-in-water and lamellar emulsions, liquidncrystalline phases comprising cosmetic oil ornfat component, hydrophibic emulsifier and lipophilic co-emulsifier,nwherein the lipophilic co-emulsifier is a lipid of formula R'-O_nR 2 in which R 1 is primary straight chain alkyl ornC až-C alk alkenyl and R2 are C2 alk 30 alkenylnCO atom of hydrogen. It is preferably included as a lipophilic co-emulsifiernbehenylakohol. Emulsions increase lamelarity and degree of alignmentnepidermal lipid structures of the skin. |
