Can oils rich in tannins/flavonoids destroy cationic emulsion?
Hi all, I have encountered a strange phenomena recently, while formulating a hair conditioner, which contains grape seed oil among other things( I am using BTMS 80 as an emulsifier). I was able to get a stable emulsion when using a refined grape seed oil , but when I changed it to the unrefined version, I could not get a stable emulsion any more! Is it possible that tannins, flavonoids in the unrefined grape seed oil interfere with emulsification process?
