First Claim
1. An emulsion composition consisting essentially of(a) 1 to 70 percent by weight of a polar liquid as a dispersed phase,(b) 17 to 97.5 percent by weight of a non-polar base liquid as a continuous phase, said base liquid having a viscosity at 25°
- C. of up to 100 millipascal-seconds and being selected from the group consisting of methylsiloxane fluids having the average unit formula (CH3)a SiO.sub.(4-a)2 wherein a has an average value of from approximately 2 to 3 inclusive and mixtures thereof with paraffinic hydrocarbon fluids,(c) 0.5 to 3 percent by weight of an organic water-in-oil surfactant having an HLB value of from 2 to 10 inclusive, and(d) 1 to 10 percent by weight of a polydiorganosiloxanepolyoxalkylene copolymer containing at least one polydiorganosiloxane segment consisting essentially of Rb SiO.sub.(4-b)2 siloxane units wherein b has a value of from 0 to 3, inclusive, there being an average value of approximately 2 R groups per silicon for all siloxane units in the copolymer, and R denotes a radical selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, vinyl, phenyl, and a divalent radical bonding a polyoxyalkylene segment to the polydiorganosiloxane segment, at least 95 percent of all R being methyl; and
at least one polyoxyalkylene segment having an average molecular weight of at least 1000 and consisting of from 0 to 50 mol percent polyoxypropylene units and from 50 to 100 mol percent polyoxyethylene units, at least one terminal portion of said polyoxyalkylene segment being bonded to said polydiorganosiloxane segment, any terminal portion of said polyoxyalkylene segment not bonded to said polydiorganosiloxane segment being satisfied by a terminating radical;
the weight ratio of polydiorganosiloxane segments to polyoxyalkylene segments in said copolymer having a value of from 2 to 8 and the total of (a) plus (b) plus (c) plus (d) being 100 percent by weight.

Abstract
Stable emulsions of a polar liquid in a non-polar base liquid are prepared with the cooperating action of a mixture of a water-in-oil surfactant having an HLB value of from 2 to 10 and certain polydiorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymers. An emulsion of interest is an anti-perspirant composition comprising an aqueous solution of aluminum chlorhydrate as the polar liquid dispersed in cyclopolydimethylsiloxanes as the non-polar base liquid, using a mixture of nonylphenoxy polyethoxyethanol and a copolymer of a trimethylsiloxane-endblocked polydimethylsiloxane containing a minor amount of methylhydrogensiloxane units and an allyloxy-endblocked polyoxyethylenepolyoxypropylene copolymer.
