    In my experience, I’ve found that anionic emulsifiers have somewhat of a more substantive feel on the skin, not necessarily greasy, almost like a veil. Anionic emulsifiers would not be compatible with cationic materials so use in combination with other anionics or non-ionics.

    It’s typical for high amounts of electrolytes to destabilize W/O emulsion. Although HEC is fairly electrolyte tolerant, is it possible that the system is too overloaded? what was the incremental amount of MgSO4 added in the second batch?
