Editor’s note: As most formulators know, emulsions are the basis of products such as hair conditioners and skin moisturizers, among others. They often incorporate emulsifying surfactants to stabilize their increasingly complex systems. With current projections for the hair conditioning market to increase with a CAGR of 5.42% between 2014 and 2019,1 and skin care to surpass $131 billion in 2019,2 formulators will be called upon more than ever to find new solutions to make the immiscible miscible.
