O/W-emulsifiers are described, comprising:(a) 30-50% by weight of hardened palm oil glycerides;(b) 15-35% by weight of potassium cetyl phosphates;(c) 20-30% by weight of cetyl alcohol, and(d) 5-15% by weight of potassium phosphate,in each case with respect to the total mass of the emulsifier. Further described are corresponding O/W-emulsions, comprising an aqueous phase, an oil phase dispersed in the aqueous phase and between 0.25 and 15% by weight of the abovementioned O/W-emulsifier. Finally, also described are methods for manufacturing such an O/W-emulsion.
