A liquid product system containing an oily liquid suspending component and fine particles of a polar liquid component, immiscible in the oily liquid, suspended in said oily liquid component by means of a hydrophobic oxide. The polar liquid may contain an active ingredient dissolved or suspended therein such that the suspension is employable as a body lotion, hair-care or-colouring product, pharmaceutical composition or food dressing. The hydrophobic oxide is typically silica, but may be an oxide of Al, Ti, Zr or Fe. |
