i) contacting at least one silicone with at least one organic non-polar solvent to obtain a solution;

ii) adding at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of metal salts of monoalkyl sulfosue metal salts of dialkyl sulfosuccinates, metal salts of alkyl sulfates, metal salts of alkyl ether sulfates, metal salts of olefin sulfonates, metal salts of linear alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkoxylated alkyl polyglycol ether phosphates, metal salts of alkoxylated alkyl polyglycol ether phosphates, metal salts of alkyl phosphate esters, metal salts of alkyl ether phosphates, and metal salts of alkyl-aryl ether phosphates to the solution obtained in step i) to obtain a mixture;

iii) adding water under shear, applied to the mixture obtained in step ii), to obtain a silicone-in-water emulsion; and

iv) removing the at least one organic non-polar solvent,
