Using the correct emulsifier and level is also critical. I recommend starting with around 5% total emulsifier and reducing the level to the point of failure to help identify the optimal level.<\/p>\n<p>Consider using <strong>combinations of polymeric and non-polymeric emulsifiers<\/strong>, since they normally work better. Modern polymeric emulsifiers have significantly improved the quality and stability of water-in-oil emulsions. They cover the emulsion interface better and have made it possible to easily incorporate up to 90% water. However, they migrate to the interface slower than monomeric types.<\/p>\n<p>You also should <strong>use electrolytes in all w\/o emulsions.<\/strong> Electrolytes help partition more emulsifier to the interface and help reduce the interfacial tension. Typically divalent electrolytes like Magnesium Sulfate work the best. I also like to homogenize all w\/o emulsions to reduce the particle size. This typically is done when the emulsion is\u00a0&lt;50C. Be careful not to over homogenize, which can result in viscosity loss over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite water in oil emulsifiers are: <\/strong><br \/>\n<em>(Click EU below for product listings in Europe.)<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Polymeric<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/134\/97592\/Cithrol-DPHS?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cithrol\u2122 DPHS<\/a> (PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate-Croda) (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/eu\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/1409\/97592\/Cithrol-DPHS?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/75\/109380\/Dehymuls-PGPH?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dehymuls\u00ae PGPH<\/a> (Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate-Evonik) (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/eu\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/804\/31856\/Dehymuls-PGPH?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/1483\/193180\/ABIL-EM-180?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABIL\u00ae EM 180<\/a> (Cetyl PEG\/PPG-10\/1 Dimethicone-Evonik, good with silicones) (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/eu\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/1481\/193180\/ABIL-EM-180?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/1483\/52061\/ISOLAN-GPS?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISOLAN\u00ae GPS<\/a> (Polyglyceryl 4 Diisostearate Polyhydroxystearate\/Sebacate- Evonik) (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/eu\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/1481\/52061\/ISOLAN-GPS?st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Non-polymeric<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Fluidanov 20X (Octyldodecanol, Octyldodecyl Xyloside- Seppic, works well with DPHS type of emulsifiers)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the easiest ways to improve stability is to increase the dispersed water phase to &gt;60%.
