The document describes trials conducted to formulate a stable water-in-oil emulsion moisturizer for women of color. Trial 4 produced the most viscous and rich consistency and was stable for 5 weeks at 25C and 7 weeks at 45C without separating. Trial 5, which had a slower water phase addition, was less stable, separating by 3 weeks at 45C and 5 weeks at 25C. Completely emulsifying the water phase into the oil phase quickly within 10 minutes produced better stability than a slower 1.5 hour addition process. Further formulation or processing adjustments are needed to the successful Trial 4 emulsion to achieve stability at high temperatures.
