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.
