Three emulsions of similar viscosity were prepared from the same components: one W/O emulsion and two O/W/O emulsions which differ by their relative wax amounts. Three parameters were taken into account to compare these preparations: acceptability, remanence and occlusivity. With the O/W/O emulsions, identical occlusivity properties were reached simultaneously with a best acceptability and a best remanence in comparaison with W/O emulsion. The modification of relative wax ratio influences the touch of each emulsion. However the multiple character of the emulsion improves both the touch and the remanence.
