Emulsions are one of the most common forms of cosmetic products. You find them in skin lotions, make-up, and hair products. By definition, an emulsion is a dispersion of two or more immiscible materials, where one phase, also known as the internal phase, is dispersed in the continuous or external phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetic emulsions are classified as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoil in water, (O\/W),\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewater in oil (W\/O) and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewater in silicone (W\/Si)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emultiple emulsions such as oil in water in oil (W\/O\/W) are also possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmulsifiers are agents that assist in mixing oil and water. What we need is something that can link one ingredient to the other, so they don’t separate. In addition to helping the ingredients get along, emulsifiers also create more stable solutions that last longer on your shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much emulsifier should I use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefer to our factsheets for suggested concentrations of emulsifiers to use.
