Surface properties and morphologies of pheohydrane/liquid crystal moisturizer product
1Department of Applied Cosmetic Science, Ching Kuo Institute of Management & Health, Keelung, Taiwan.
Synopsis:
In this study, we investigated the properties of three different liquid crystal-type humectants prepared through a simple emulsion process. Under a polarized microscope, we observed liquid crystal textures for each of the three moisturizers. When we applied them onto the hands and face, we found that they all provided effective hydration, with pheohydrane/liquid crystal moisturizer exhibiting superior performance. We also investigated the surface properties (contact angle, zeta potential, surface tension, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses) after adding pheohydrane to Formula product.

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...

Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...
