    Emulsifier / Liquid Crystal: Additional Data

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses an emulsifier called Nikkomulese LC produced by NIKKO CHEMICALS CO., LTD. Polarized light microscopy images show that Nikkomulese LC allows the formation of a liquid crystal network in O/LC/W emulsions that is not seen in regular O/W emulsions. Micrographs also show the liquid crystal network remains visible on skin for up to 6 hours after application of an O/LC/W emulsion containing Nikkomulese LC. Additionally, a study found that application of an O/LC/W emulsion with Nikkomulese LC for 4 weeks significantly reduced transepidermal water loss in human subjects compared to before application.

    Emulsifier / Liquid Crystal
    The optical micrographs of O/LC/W and O/W emulsions, observed by polarized light microscopy.
    A, B: O/W. C, D: O/LC/W (with Nikkomulese LC). Liquid crystal network can be observed only when
    Nikkomulese LC as used as an emulsifier.
    Micrographs of O/LC/W emulsion applied on inside forearm for 3 and 6 hours. Liquid crystal network
    remains visible on the skin even 6 hours after application.
    In-vivo trial: changes of TEWL on
    the inner side thighs (12 subjects).
    O/LC/W system shows significant
    reduction of TEWL in human
    subjects.
