ABSTRACT This invention relates to novel water in oil emulsions. The emulsions of this invention are translucent water in oil emulsions comprising a water phase containing a humectant, an oil phase comprising petroleum jelly and the like and an emulsifying agent to give a water in oil emulsion; the aqueous phase having a refractive index in essentially the same range as the oil phase. The trans- lucent water in oil of this invention have the same general appearance and feel of petroleum jelly and func- tion like petroleum jelly but are superior thereto in the sense that when applied to skin will not only help prevent water from escaping therefrom or exist a barrier effect, but also, will allow water humectants and other moistur- izers from the emulsion water phase to pass therethrough to contact the skin and to moisturize the skin. The compositions of this invention are useful as skin moistur- izer compositions. They may be used as a carrier or vehicle for oil and water soluble topical drugs. They also may be used in the same general way as petrolatum (e.g. skin protectant agent, emollient, lubricant, etc.)
