Emulsion OverviewEmulsion OverviewWhat is an emulsion? An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible (unblendable)
substances. One substance (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the
other (the continuous phase).

inner, internal phase)Water: Continuous phase (outer,
external phase,)
Emulsion OverviewEmulsion OverviewEmulsification
Emulsification is the process by which emulsions are prepared.
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems because the contact between oil and water molecules is
6
unfavorable, and so they will always breakdown over time.

2Emulsion OverviewEmulsion OverviewEmulsification The preparation of emulsions that are
kinetically stable over a time period that is of practical use to the cosmetic industry requires the incorporation of substances known as

stabilizers. Stabilizers can be classified according to their
mode of operation as either Emulsifiers Texture modifiers

Emulsifiers An emulsifier is a surface-active substance that,
when present at low concentration in a system, has the properties of adsorbing on to the surfaces of interfaces of the system
8
altering to a marked degree the surface or interfacial free energies of the surfaces (or interfaces).
Examples: phospholipids, small molecule surfactants and solid particles.

Emulsion OverviewEmulsion Overview
Texture modifiers A texture modifier is a substance that either
increases the viscosity of the continuous phase (thickening agent) or forms a gel network within
9
the continuous phase (gelling agent).
The texture modifiers help slowing down the movement of droplets due to gravity or Brownian motion.
Ampa Jimtaisong Mae Fah Luang University
Emulsion OverviewEmulsion OverviewTexture modifiers Most of the texture modifiers form hydrated lyophilic
colloids (called hydrocolloids) that form multimolecular layers around emulsion droplets.

Emulsification by Surface-Active Agents
Surface (interfacial) tension is the minimum amount of work required to create unit area of the interface or to expand it by unit area.
Surface (interfacial) tension is also a measure of the difference in nature of the two phases meeting at the
16
p ginterface (or surface).
The greater the dissimilarity in their nature , the greater the surface (or interfacial) tension between them.
Ampa Jimtaisong Mae Fah Luang University

A surface-active agent is, therefore, a substance that at low concentration adsorbs at some or all of the interface in the system and significantly changes the amount of work required to expand those interfaces.

Surfactants as Emulsifying Agents Regardless of their classification, all emulsifying
agents must be:
Chemically stable in the system,
27
Ampa Jimtaisong Mae Fah Luang University
Chem cally stable n the system,
Inert and chemically non-reactive with other emulsion components,
Nontoxic and nonirritant.
Reasonably odorless and not cost prohibitive.
Emulsification by Surface-Active Agents
An emulsifier is a type of surfactant typically used to keep emulsion (mixtures of immiscible fluids) well dispersed.
Surfactants typically have a hydrophobic (water-hating) and a hydrophilic (water-liking) end.

ethoxylated nonionic emulsifiers becomes poorer (the HLB decreases).
There is a temperature (PIT) at which the hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics of the emulsifier are

At this temperature the emulsion will exhibit a phase inversion.
