title: Some pertinent factors in skin care emulsion.
abstract: Emulsion structures are reviewed with special consideration given to the conditions in emulsions for topical applications with more phases than the traditional two liquids. The fundamentals of emulsions containing liquid crystals and vesicles are described, focussing on the dependence of the volume ratios of liquid crystals and vesicles on the surfactant content.
