Enabling Advanced Emulsions in Microchannel Architecture
By: L. Silva, A.L. Tonkovich, D. Qiu, P. Neagle, K…
An innovative emulsification technology is demonstrated, which can be applied to surfactant-free emulsions and has the propensity for stimuli-responsive behavior. The technology can be used to allow previously difficult product formulations with shear-sensitive materials and controlled, droplet size distribution.

Herbal Extracts and Sebum Control and Other Topics
By: Charles Fox, Independent Consultant
Stratum corneum (SC) hydration is partially regulated by water-soluble molecules, i.e., the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that is associated with the corneocytes. Routine water exposure such as bathing may deplete NMF and alter the SC water-handling properties.

Topical Formulations Conforming to the Structure of the Skin
By: Vladimir Vacata, Birgit Gertchen-Ohligschlager…
Biomolecules with physical properties similar to those of the permeability barrier--including the property of forming lamellar structures--offer an alternative to the potentially harmful emulsifiers in topical formulations.
