Hi, All.
In the case of an oil-phase made of vegetable oils, is it okay to use emulsifiers of high HLB values such as Lanette Wax? I found GMS NSE to be ineffective. The product is now OK- but has anyone experienced a challenge on it?
Also, any recommendations for a good book on cosmetic emulsifiers?
My oil-phase consists of:
Cetearyl Alcohol- 4%
Vitamin E- 0.05%
Avocado Oil- 0.30%
GMS NSE-0.50%
Do I need to emulsify the cetearyl alcohol also?

I have read Perry's book (the one he co-edited) Conditioning Agents for Hair and Skin. I am more interested in first principle books- the ones that explain the process of emulsification itself, has data on practical use of emulsifiers in cosmetics.
