The invention relates to a thin liquid Pickering emulsion, a finely-dispersed system of the oil-in-water type with a viscosity of below 3.000 mPas, containing: (1) an oil phase, (2) an aqueous phase, (3) at least one type of microfine inorganic particles, selected from the group of metallic oxides, which a) have an average particle size of less than 200 nm, b) display both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, c) may be dispersed in both lipophilic and hydrophilic liquids and d) are optionally surface-coated, (4) 0.01 to 5 wt. % of at least one polymeric, non-ionic and/or cationic thickening agent and (5) at most 0.5 wt. % of one or several emulsifiers. |
