A system for dispensing a foamed aqueous emulsion is provided. The system is a foam-dispensing container and an aqueous emulsion of an oil component with improved foamability. The foamability is improved by including in the emulsion a polyol poly-12-hydroxystearate surfactant as an emulsifier. The aqueous emulsion contains polyol poly-12-hydroxystearate, an oil component, other surfactants and can contain UV protection factors, water and optionally other auxiliaries and additives.
