               organic oil, 0.1-20 percent by weight of a silicone polyether surfactant, and 20-90                                     
               percent by weight of water.                                                                                             

                       13.  A composition comprising (i) 1-30 percent by weight of a salt component,                                   
               (ii) 10-80 percent by weight of an alcohol component, (iii) 1-80 percent by weight of a                                 
               solvent component, and (iv) 10-90 percent by weight of an organic oil-in-water                                          
               emulsion; the organic oil-in-water emulsion comprising 5-80 percent by weight of a non-                                 
               silicon atom containing organic oil, 0.1-20 percent by weight of a silicone polyether                                   
               surfactant, and 20-90 percent by weight of water.                                                                       

                       19.  A method of making an organic oil-in-water emulsion comprising                                             
               (i) preparing an aqueous phase containing water, a silicone polyether surfactant, and                                   
               optionally one or more organic surfactants; (ii) preparing an oil phase comprising a non-                               
               silicon atom containing unsaturated organic monomer; (iii) combining the aqueous                                        
               phase and the oil phase; (iv) adding a polymerization catalyst to the combined phase;                                   
               (v) agitating the combined phase for a time sufficient to allow the non-silicon atom                                    
               containing unsaturated organic monomer to polymerize; and (vi) recovering an organic                                    
               oil-in-water emulsion containing an organic polymer in the oil phase of the organic oil-in-                             
               water emulsion.                                                                                                         

                       21.  An organic oil-in-water emulsion prepared by the method according to                                       
               claim 19.
