Four liquid crystalline emulsions were compared, including one stabilized with Olivem 1000 (cetearyl olivate/sorbitan olivate). All formed lamellar liquid crystals and, after a single application in 21 volunteers, reduced transepidermal water loss for at least 10 h and increased skin hydration; the Lecinol/Tween formulation gave the highest hydration.
