Cosmetic or dermatological stick preparations, which are finely disperse systems of the water-in-oil type, comprising

a) an oil phase which

 comprises from 10 to 70% by weight, based on the weight of the fatty phase, of fatty and/or wax components which melt above a temperature of 40 C.,

b) a water phase,

c) at least one modified phyllosilicate which exhibits both hydrophilic and also lipophilic properties, which thus has amphiphilic character and positions itself at the water/oil interface, and

d) at most 0.5% by weight of one or more emulsifiers and method for their preparation.
