Abstract

A composition in the form a dispersion for cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical use containing: (a) 60 to 98% by weight of an aqueous phase and (b) 2 to 40% by weight of an oily phase dispersed in the aqueous phase, said oily phase being dispersed and stabilized by using cubic gel particles, said particles being essentially formed of: ( ) 0.1 to 15% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of at least one unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride having a C.sub.16 -C.sub.22 unsaturated fatty chain in a mixture with phytanetriol, and 0.05 to 3% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of a dispersing and stabilizing agent, said agent being a surface active substance, water-soluble at room temperature, containing a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, fatty chain having 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Also claimed are methods of making said compositions.
