Chemistry Thursday: Glycol esters and sugar (sucrose) esters, part 35

by

Welcome back to this introduction to cosmetic chemistry course! Let’s continue our look at esters by investigating those that work as emulsifiers. We’ll get into some emulsion theory, information on the HLB system, then get into those esters! Today we’re taking a look at two more categories of esters – glycol esters, like glycol distearate,...

Welcome back to this introduction to cosmetic chemistry course! Let’s continue our look at esters by investigating those that work as emulsifiers. We’ll get into some emulsion theory, information on the HLB system, then get into those esters! An important note about this series – it’s here for life. It isn’t going anywhere. If you...

Chemistry Thursday: Esters we use as emollients (overview), part 31

by

Welcome back to this introduction to cosmetic chemistry course! We’ve had great fun for the last few months looking at carboxylic acids as fatty acids, but it’s time to meet some esters! Woo hoo! I’m trying to make this post shorter than the previous ones as I know it can be a lot. An important...
