  Emulsifier

  Posted by Queen_Benin2468 on July 3, 2022 at 1:51 pm

  Good day everyone. It’s really good to be here. 

  Please a quick advice from the house.
  My oil phase is 8HLB. The emulsifier I’m using is Tridecenth-9 and Co-emulsifier is Glyceryl Stearate. I use 50% of each of which I got same HLB 8 as my oil phase.

  My concern now is, the Tridecenth-9 is 2.3%
  While the Glyceryl Stearate is 2.7%, I’m using a total of 5% Emulsifier. Is it okay for the Co- Emulsifier to be higher than the Emulsifier?

  @Queen_Benin2468 Are you trying to make a W/O or O/W emulsion?
