Characterizing Nanoemulsions Prepared by High Pressure Homogenization Under Various Emulsifying Conditions
By: Ruandro Knapik and Maria Carolina Rocha dos Sa…
The present study examines formulations prepared using similar oil fractions and differing emulsifier systems and process parameters to determine why their behaviors differ. Results showed that ethoxylated emulsifier systems were the most stable, and that beyond a certain number of cycles, high pressure homogenization did not significantly improve the quality of the product.

The Quest for Avobenzone Stabilizers and Sunscreen Photostability
By: Christine Mendrok-Edinger, Kimberly Smith, Ann…
Butyl methoxydibenzoyl methane (BMDBM) is well-known as an effective UVA filter when it is stabilized. Here, the authors measure the efficiency of ten commercially available products that are reported to stabilize BMDBM. The most effective product found was octocrylene that, being a UVB filter, also contributed to the SPF.
