1. A method for producing an emulsion comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a non-aqueous component;
(b) providing an aqueous component;
(c) providing a surfactant;
(d) providing fibers, and(e) wherein said non-aqueous component, aqueous component, surfactant and fibers are combined to form the emulsion.

Abstract
Emulsions, either water-in-oil or oil-in-water, may be formed by combining an aqueous component, a non-aqueous component and a surfactant in combination with fibers. The fibers decrease the time and energy required to form the emulsion and, in some cases, allow emulsion formation that would not be possible with the use of such fibers.
