Cosmetic emulsions exist today in many forms for a wide variety of applications, including face
and hand creams for normal, dry or oily skin, body milks and lotions, as well as sun-block products.
Keeping track of them and their properties is not always easy despite informative product names or
partial names (e.g. hand or face cream) that clearly indicate their use and properties. This practical
manual provides a detailed overview that describes the key properties and explains how to measure
them using modern techniques. Written by an expert in flows and flow properties, it focuses on the
application of rheological (flow) measurements to cosmetic and food emulsions and the correlation
of these results with findings from other tests.
Beginning with a brief history of rheology and some fundamental principles, the
manual describes in detail the use of modern viscometers and rheometers, including concise
explanations of the different available instruments. But the focus remains on practical everyday lab
procedures: how to characterize cosmetic and food emulsions with different rheological tests such
as temperature, time, stress and strain, both static and dynamic. Also the critical topic of how the results
correlate with other important product characteristics, for instance, skin sensation, pumping performance,
stability etc. is carefully explored. Many pictures, illustrations, graphs and tables help readers new to the
measurement of cosmetic emulsions in their daily work as well as to the more experienced who seek
additional special tips and tricks.
Written for scientists and practitioners in cosmetics as well as food science industry and at universities
working in this field
