HLB values apply in cosmetics and skin care products

Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance
HLB
Surfactant is composed of a water soluble functional group and a lipophilic tail (oil loving).
William Griffin who worked in Atlas Power Company, in the late 1940s, introduced the Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance system (HLB) as a way of figuring out which emulsifier would work best
The proportion between the weight percentages of these two groups in a surfactant molecule is an indication of the behavior that may be expected from that product.
An emulsifier that is lipophilic in character is assigned a low HLB number and an emulsifier that is hydrophilic in character is assigned a high number. The midpoint is approximately ten and the assigned values have ranged from one to forty.




HLBo=(WA x HLBA+ WB x HLBB )/ (WA+ WB)
Where,
WA = the amount (weight) of the 1st emulsifier (A) used
WB = the amount (weight) of the 2nd emulsifier (B) used.
Above are the best ratios of emulsifier (A) and emulsifier (B)
HLBA= the assigned HLB value for emulsifier A
HLBB= the assigned HLB value for emulsifier B
HLBo= the “required HLB” of the oil for the type of emulsion being studied.

 Why do we need to understand the meaning of surfactant? Because it is one of the important rule in cosmetics and skin care products.

ITA0 (individual typology angle)

ITA 0 (individual typology angle) (Wikipedia, color space conversions, Adrian Ford and Alan Roberts, Aug.11, 1998) ITA values were calculated from spectrocolorimeter (Datacolor) mea­surements of the L* (Luminance) and b* (yellow/blue component) parameters. This value is based on CIELab of the CIE system. The CIE has defined a system that classifies color according to the HVS (the human visual system). This system is called color space which is in combination with physical device profiling, it allows for reproducible representations of color, in both   analog   and   digital   representations. A color is thus usually specified using three co-ordinates, or parameters. These parameters describe the position of the color within the color space being used. They do not tell us what the color is, that depends on what color space is being used. There are more than one color spaces for the applications. This is because different color spaces are better for different applications, for

skin color type_ITA There are many methods to detect the skin health, skin surface properties, skin color, skin color type, and hair conditions. They are non-intrusive. The following is the method to figure out the skin color type.  Skin color type 1.    Fizpatrick skin types Questionnaire designed by Dr. Thomas B. Fitpatrick in 1975. Fizpatrick skin types Type I       Celtic type                   0-150 Type II.    Caucasian white          50-250 Type III    Mixed type                 100-350 Type IV    Mediterranean type    150-500 Type V     Asian/ Indian skin      150-650 Type VI    Black skin                  600-999 2.    ITA 0 (individual typology angle) calculation CIE colorimetry =[Arc Tangent ((L*-50)/b*)] x 180/ π Very light                  ITA 0  > 55 0 Light                 40 0 < ITA 0 <55 0 Intermediate      28 0 < ITA 0 <41 0 Tan/matt            10 0 < ITA 0 <28 0 Brown              -30 0 < ITA

Because this part does't have  Melanocyte  i n stratum basale, the nail is transparent. The nail care is like the skin care should to prevent damage the  Cormeocyte which is appearance of nail. As it is damaged, It will lose the protection and need   more time to recover than skin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- help to find the specific skincare product ingredients by "skin+" App
