While it is common knowledge that water and oil do not mix, it is less known that given the right chemistry and processing, a cosmetically elegant emulsion of these two immiscible liquids can be made stable for years. But without proper knowledge of the science behind emulsions, failures can occur.
This accredited training course is designed to provide both theoretical understanding and practical application of the complex behavior of emulsions. The course uses a unique approach based on combining the different but totally related learnings of parts 1 and 2.
Part 1 is dedicated to studying in depth the physical chemistry of the key raw materials used to make emulsions. The materials are divided in the categories of emollients, emulsifiers and structuring agents.
Part 2 will apply the acquired knowledge to the understanding and learning of the various technologies obtained by the synergistic physical interactions of the raw materials. The Lamellar Gel Network Model (LGNM) is described in detail with emphasis in its practical application to controlling the sensorial properties of emulsions, its stability and scale up during the manufacturing process. Formulation examples are used to illustrate the application of the technologies.
There is a specific section dedicated to the delivery of actives, and its release from the emulsions. Specific cases of non-delivery through the skin, such as sunscreen actives, are also addressed.
