Disclosed herein is an aqueous emulsion. The lipid phase of the emulsion includes a blend of a therapeutically effective concentration of a lipophile, a concentration of Vitamin E TPGS, and a concentration of linoleic acid. The presence of linoleic acid increases the solubilizing affect of Vitamin E TPGS on the lipophile and thus reduces the amount of Vitamin E TPGS that would otherwise be required in the aqueous emulsion.

The composition disclosed herein comprises about 55 to about 90 weight percent of a monoglyceride component comprising a monoglyceride having an acyl chain of 12 to 22 carbons, about 5 to about 35 weight percent of an acetylated monoglyceride component comprising an acetylated monoglyceride having an acyl chain of 12 to 22 carbons, and about 2 to about 40 weight percent water. The present composition is a liquid crystalline phase composition at a temperature of about 20 to about 80&deg; C., preferably a cubic liquid crystalline gel.

The present invention relates to a skin treating composition containing vitamin E; a blend comprising acetylated monoglyceride and polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester; a blend comprising distilled monoglyceride, distilled propylene glycol monoester, and sodium or calcium stearoyl lactylate; water; and oxidized cellulose. The skin treating composition reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching, and reduces formation of scars in the tissue.

Skin treating composition

A free flowing powder is prepared containing a water-soluble vitamin E compound and at least one fatty acid ester of glycerine. The powder is prepared by blending a low viscosity mixture of the vitamin E compound and fatty acid ester followed by spraying.

Disclosed are new shaving cream formulations and their preparation. The formulations incorporate salts of fatty acid esters of lactylic acid, saturated monoglycerides, propylene glycol monoesters and humectant as the essential ingredients.

Shaving cream formulations

Disclosed are emulsifiers useful in food products such as cakes, icings, cream fillings, whipped toppings, etc. The emulsifiers comprise a blend of succinylated monoglycerides, monoglycerides, propylene glycol monoesters and an alkali metal salt of a fatty acid. The emulsifiers are essentially totally active and do not require the use of a carrier.
