AN EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF STABILIZED OIL-IN-WATER EMULSIONS USING DIFFERENT CATIONIC SURFACTANT BLENDS FOR POTENTIAL USE IN THE COSMETIC INDUSTRY

An Evaluation of the Physicochemical Properties of Stabilized Oil-In-Water Emulsions Using Different Cationic Surfactant Blends for Potential Use in the Cosmetic Industry

One of the most complex problems in hair care formulations is the duality of the surfactants used.In this regard, such surfactants must be cationic so as to interact with the negatively charged cuticle surface of hair.However, these interdependencies typically lead to non-ideal values for the required hydrophilic⁻lipophilic balance (HLB) in t
