Solving Cosmetic Emulsion Stability Issues Faster

On-Demand Course

Recorded on Sep 10, 2020

Avoid instability issues in your cosmetic emulsions (O/W, W/O, HIPE, Pickering…) by learning how to quickly select surfactants & characterize emulsions.

Minou Nabavi (Founder, Azad Chem Consulting) will explain the causes of instability (creaming, flocculation, Ostwald ripening…) and share practical strategies to detect & counter the challenges. Topics like how to make an emulsion, assessing emulsion stability, dilution and conductivity test will be addressed in detail.
