French term or phrase: formulation eau dans eau
Hello,

This from a product description :

Dans une formulation **eau dans eau et non transfert**, aux propriétés puissamment protectrices, un subtil dosage d’actifs hydratants ou éclaircissants, permettent, sous un voile de beauté naturel, de compléter la protection et la réparation intense, d’une hydratation renforcée et d’une action éclaircissante progressive, pour une luminosité sans ombre.

I guess it's "water-in-water" as opposed to water-in-oil but I don't really understand the concept nor the bit that follows (et non transfert).

Can anyone help?

Thanks very much in advance. (UK English requested)

Explanation:
I think you should ask "non transfert" as a separate question, since it's a separate term. Have you considered "non-transferred/transferable"?

"Water-in-water (W/W) emulsion is a system that consists of droplets of water-solvated molecules in another continuous aqueous solution; both the droplet and continuous phases contain different molecules that are entirely water-soluble.[1] As such, when two entirely aqueous solutions containing different water-soluble molecules are mixed, water droplets containing predominantly one component are dispersed in water solution containing another component."

Non-transfer, presumably meaning it won't rub off easily.
