What would you suspect are the reason(s) for this apparent lack of popularity of Pickering Emulsions as an emulsification technique among cosmetic chemists?
Thanks!
1. The manufacturing equipment in the industry is not set up to make them
2. They are probably more expensive to make and current technology works well enough
3. Nanoparticles - there is some consumer hesitation about nanoparticles.
That would be my guess. Since they've been around for a long time and haven't caught on, it's probably that the cost/benefit doesn't justify using them.
Haha thank you for educating us (me) on a subject I didn’t know I needed to know about - again.
