EFFECT OF SURFACTANT CONCENTRATION ON THE COSMETIC EMULSIONS STABILITY Narmukhamedova A.T. Supervisor: Adilbekova A.O. Al-Farabi Kazakh National University aminanarmukhamedova@gmail.com The biodiversity of medicinal plants in Kazakhstan makes it possible to obtain natural extracts
and successfully commercialize the market. Despite this, cosmetic care products with the addition
of these extracts are not presented on the market and in this regard, the sphere of natural cosmetic
products in Kazakhstan is free and has great potential. Speaking about the difficulties of working
procedure with these extracts, it is quite difficult to create a stable emulsion with the addition of
natural oil extracts and that is why usage oils of endemic plants in cosmetic and cosmeceutical need
required special studies.
Hair conditioner with natural oil extracts is the great example of O/W cosmetic emulsions,
which should be stabilized with anionic and mostly cationic surfactants. Also, cationic surfactants
have antistatic activity, which obtained by neutralization of shampoo’s anionic surfactants effect on
the surface of hair. Cetrimonium chloride is a common cationic surfactant used in hair conditioners.
Polyquaterrnium-7 is cationic surfactant, and structure of it contains positively charged nitrogen
atom, which helps to provide the damage repairing function due to the van der Wal interaction with
hair surface. Yellow rose oil and polyphytic oil from company “Fitoleum” are the pure products
which are created by using the endemic plant of Zailiysky Alatau and act as the oil phase for
emulsion.
Samples with several ratios of water phase, oil phase and surfactants were tested on their
stability by 2 methods: determination of thermal stability by using thermostat and determination of
colloidal stability by using centrifugation. Thermal stability determination method represents the
short-time analysis and long-time analysis, which and testing of emulsion within a 1 month in
thermostat helps to observe not only phase separation, but also to measure factors such as color and
acidity changes to predict a product shelf life. Additionally, to observe the effectiveness of
conditioner, control test was provided by using the resulting cosmetic emulsion by the group of 15
volunteers. The most effective-in-use and also stable emulsion is obtained by 1.5 % of cationic
surfactant as cetrimonium chloride, 2 % of cationic surfactants as polyquaternium-7 and 3 % of oil
phase (with the ratio 2:1 in term of yellow rose oil: polyphytic oil) in terms of the composition of
the cosmetic emulsions.
