  • Emulsifier-free bio mineral structured emulsion
    Patent number: 10441514
    Abstract: A process for creating cold emulsions for cosmetic use involves creating a gel component by exfoliating silicate compounds with catalysts and organic materials under pressure and mixing the resulting components with water, mixing an oil phase with additional powdered components as desired, and mixing the gel component with the oil phase in a high shear mixer until a Pickering emulsion is created. The resulting emulsion is simple to manufacture, stable for long periods of time, and has a desirable texture for cosmetic use.
