คำถาม

Emulsion Clarity Inquiry

  1. When using Oil Blender to emulsify an oil phase (containing Mineral Oil, Dimethicone, and Oil Blender) with a water phase, will the resulting mixture be cloudy or clear?
  2. Which silicone-in-water emulsifier can be used to achieve a clear texture?

คำตอบ

Clarity of Emulsions with Oil Blender

Regarding your questions about the clarity of emulsions:

  1. Clarity of the mixture with Oil Blender, Mineral Oil, Dimethicone, and Water: Based on general formulation principles, combining water and oil phases using an emulsifier like Oil Blender™ typically results in an opaque or cloudy texture. Achieving a clear appearance in such a system is not standard and usually requires specialized techniques, such as precisely matching the refractive indices of the oil and water phases or creating a nanoemulsion where the dispersed particles are smaller than the wavelength of light. Therefore, the mixture you described will likely be cloudy.

  2. Silicone-in-Water Emulsifier for Clear Texture: Obtaining a clear silicone-in-water emulsion is challenging and depends heavily on the specific components and ratios in your formula. Standard emulsifiers generally produce cloudy textures. To recommend a suitable emulsifier for a clear texture, more detailed information about your complete formulation is needed. Achieving clarity often involves advanced formulation knowledge and specific types of emulsifiers or co-solvents designed for this purpose.
