| Notes | The quality of an emulsion is primarily determined by the composition of the oil phase. The oils and esters used, particularly for W/O emulsions, should be chosen for their suitability to the application area. For light emulsions it is recommended to use light oils and esters with good spreadability. Emulsions are normally stabilised with waxes which tend to have an unpleasant, sticky skin feel. Stabilizing emulsions with Gilugel avoids the problem. Gilugel OS acts in the oil phase as an emulsion stabiliser and thickener. Application levels between 5 and 15% are recommended, depending on the viscosity required. Gilugel CAO - Castor Oil |
