Cosmetics and consumer care

Characterizing stability of emulsions,
Improving product viscoelastic properties,
Controlling delivery?

Characterization at the nanoscale can help you find answers.

With X-ray scattering in your lab, you can for example:

  • Investigate the thermal stability of micelle based detergents
  • Determine the phase of lyotropic liquid crystals in creams
  • Find the size and shape of self-assembled vesicles for delivery of active ingredients
  • Establish the optimal ratio between hydrophilic and hydrophobic components to create a stable emulsion
