Abstract

W.sub.1 -O-W.sub.2 emulsions are disclosed in which the W.sub.1 /O emulsion comprises an internal aqueous phase containing optional benefit agent and an oil phase surrounding it, and, around this is found an external isotropic aqueous phase comprising surfactant system and specific thickeners. Selection of surfactant system and thickener is critical to the multiple emulsion composition not phase separating.
