Oil-in-water emulsion phase morphology: ShiseidoRecent Research Landscape

Instability in complex lipid-water interfaces leads to phase separation and reduced shelf-life. Precise control of the oil-phase volume fraction and surfactant geometry ensures long-term emulsion stability.

What technical problems is Shiseido addressing in Oil-in-water emulsion phase morphology?

Emulsion phase separation instability

(10)evidences

Salicylic acid and complex multiple emulsions frequently suffer from phase separation or precipitation. Preventing these failures ensures product shelf-life and consistent delivery of bioactive compounds.

Thermodynamic phase instability

(9)evidences

Thermodynamic instability leads to coalescence and oil phase separation in topical formulations. Preventing this degradation ensures uniform active ingredient delivery and shelf-life consistency.

Thermodynamic phase instability

(4)evidences

Spontaneous separation and coalescence of immiscible phases limit shelf life and efficacy. Preventing phase inversion ensures consistent delivery of active components.
