The manufacturing of stable emulsion is a crucial challenge for the cosmetics industry. Particle-stabilized emulsions (Pickering emulsions) offer advantages over conventional emulsions and can open new opportunities for cosmetic formulators. Therefore, optimizing the fabrication procedures of Pickering emulsions and exploring their applicability in different cosmetic formulations are necessary.
The manufacturing of stable emulsion is a very important challenge for the cosmetic industry, which has motivated intense research activity for replacing conventional molecular stabilizers with colloidal particles. These allow minimizing the hazards and risks associated with the use of conventional molecular stabilizers, providing enhanced stability to the obtained dispersions. Therefore, particle-stabilized emulsions (Pickering emulsions) present many advantages with respect to conventional ones, and hence, their commercialization may open new avenues for cosmetic formulators. This makes further efforts to optimize the fabrication procedures of Pickering emulsions, as well as the development of their applicability in the fabrication of different cosmetic formulations, necessary. This review tries to provide an updated perspective that can help the cosmetic industry in the exploitation of Pickering emulsions as a tool for designing new cosmetic products, especially creams for topical applications.
