Cosmetic emulsions are widely used in various forms, including creams, lotions, and sun-block products for different skin types. Despite informative product names, understanding their properties can be challenging. This practical manual offers a comprehensive overview of key properties and measurement techniques. Authored by an expert in flow properties, it emphasizes the application of rheological measurements to cosmetic and food emulsions, correlating these results with findings from other tests. The manual begins with a brief history of rheology and fundamental principles, followed by detailed descriptions of modern viscometers and rheometers, including explanations of available instruments. It prioritizes practical lab procedures for characterizing emulsions through rheological tests, examining factors such as temperature, time, stress, and strain in both static and dynamic contexts. The critical correlation between rheological results and other product characteristics—like skin sensation, pumping performance, and stability—is thoroughly explored. Accompanied by numerous illustrations, graphs, and tables, this resource aids both newcomers and experienced professionals in effectively measuring cosmetic emulsions in their daily work, offering valuable tips and tricks for enhanced understanding and application.
