These nano-emulsions are very stable to creaming due to Brownian motion.<\/p>\n<p>Nano-emulsions can be formed by using either low or high energy processes. The phase inversion temperature (PIT) method is a low-energy process based on the changes in solubility of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=polyoxyethylene&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">polyoxyethylene<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/eu\/PersonalCare\/search?k=polyoxyethylene&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">EU<\/a>) type of nonionic surfactants with temperature. These surfactants become lipophilic with increasing temperature because of dehydration of the polyoxyethylene chains. PIT emulsification takes advantage of the extremely low interfacial tensions achieved at inversion temperature. Above this temperature, a water in oil emulsion is formed which becomes a bicontinuous emulsion at the inversion temperature and an oil in water nano-emulsion below.<\/p>\n<p>D phase emulsification is a low-energy process to make nano-emulsions that involves mixing a surfactant with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Product\/search?k=Polyols&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">polyol<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/eu\/PersonalCare\/Product\/search?k=Polyols&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">EU<\/a>) or with a polyol and a small amount of water. Oil is then added and a gel is typically formed (oil in polyol-water emulsion). When additional water is added, an oil in water nano-emulsion is formed. Heating both phases prior to mixing helps promote a smaller particle size due to a lowering of the interfacial tension. The likely mechanism is the formation before dilution of a lamellar liquid crystalline phase.<\/p>\n<p>High-energy approaches use equipment capable of generating intense disruptive forces to break up the oil phases. The most widely used include high-pressure valve homogenizers, micro-fluidizers, and sonication methods. Generally, conventional high-pressure homogenizers work in a range of pressures between 50 and 100 MPa.<\/p>\n<h4>Applications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Stable thin emulsions for sprays or wipes<\/li>\n<li>Improved active skin penetration<\/li>\n<li>Improved deposition of emollients in rinse off products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Commercial technologies<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/12615\/357149\/Nanocream?st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Nanocream<\/a>\u00a0(15%-Potassium Lauroyl Wheat Amino Acids, 25%-Palm Glycerides, 20%-Capryloyl Glycine, 40%-Water-<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Suppliers\/12615\/Sinerga\/search?sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Sinerga<\/a>)<br \/>\no Using 10% different oils and 5% Nanocream emulsions with a particle size of 120-320nm were produced.<br \/>\no Using 10% Coco Caprylate\/Caprate and 2.5-10% Nanocream the particle size ranged between 120-250nm.<br \/>\no Cold mix 5% Nanocream and 10% oil and heat to 40-45C.
