What is an "emulsifier"?
An emulsifier is a unique substance that possesses the ability to create and maintain stable mixtures of immiscible liquids. Their primary function is to facilitate the dispersion and stabilization of oil and water-based components. They work by forming a protective layer around tiny droplets of one liquid within the other, preventing separation and maintaining a homogeneous blend. Emulsifiers can be derived from natural or synthetic sources and are commonly used in food and cosmetic products. Emulsifiers play a crucial role in a wide range of applications, from salad dressings and mayonnaise to lotions and creams, enabling the combination of ingredients that would otherwise remain separate.
Exemplo
The hair styling cream included an emulsifier to combine the water and styling agents.
Emulsions in salad dressings combine oil and vinegar, allowing them to mix temporarily before eventually separating without an emulsifier.
