Advanced Emulsion Technology - HIP Emulsions

Join Belinda Carli, Director of the Institute of Personal Care Science and Cosmetic Formulator, as she shows you how to create revolutionary High Internal Phase emulsions. Get the trans-epidermal-water-loss protective benefits of a water in oil emulsion with a very small input of lipids. Yes, its possible to create a water in oil emulsion with more than 85% water, and keep it stable, but only with special materials and Belinda reveals these in this video. She shows two examples: a silicone based cosmetic formulation and non-silicone based cosmetic formulation so there are two alternatives for your company to create these advanced emulsion formulations.

Happy formulating!

HI Belinda, Is there any specific reason you used carbomer for the gelled water phase with the silicone formula and Sepinov EMT for gelling the water phase for the non silcone formula? Can any aqueous gelling agent like Xanthin gum or cellulose derivatives also be suitable?

Hi Belinda. Can you recommend a natural high internal fase emulsifier. I've been working with hipe gel aqua from alchemy....but they have been discontinued for general sale :( because of stability issues)
Thank you!

I always thought the quantity of the different phases determined if it was o/w or w/o but guess I was wrong. So it's the emulsifiers that determine this? It's weird because with the HLB system you'll always need at least two emulsifiers, one with a high value and one with a low value, to form an emulsion. So how it differentiates between the two is beyond me. And then there's also the matter of phase inversion, etc..

INCI names, even just on screen would be helpful to understanding what's happening.
